COACHING SUCCESS STORIES
Ave Tampere - Senior Manager - #executivecoaching
I have worked with Michael first personally (he was my coach) and then with our team and I could not recommend him more for upskilling yourself or your team on leadership topics and beyond. Michael created a bespoke series of workshops to equip us with tools and techniques for us to develop our own leadership skills and support others in developing theirs. It has been a total joy to work with Michael. In addition to being very professional and thorough while paying great attention to detail to make the workshops fit our needs, he is also a fantastic speaker who radiates energy that perks up even the dullest of afternoons.
He really is team You - whether you're in a team or an individual and the afterglow of sessions with him is a truly empowered action mode!

Last November, Michael was a guest speaker for Omio during our annual all-company event, SPARK. I’ve known Michael for years as a fitness instructor and life coach in Berlin. I find his positive energy contagious and his ability to connect with people extremely genuine. So when planning the event, we wanted a strong personality to kick off our 3 days and Michael was the perfect fit. As a speaker, he created an environment that felt very personal - almost like a small fireside chat but really he was speaking to 250 people.
We’re still thankful he didn’t make us all do burpees but he definitely woke us up and brought us together.

I have been a coaching client of Michael since December of 2021. He empowered me to find my voice as a leader and supported me with his great energy throughout my journey. When I came to Michael I was in a leadership position for two years and needed to sort through my experiences to get more clarity on who I was as a leader and who I wanted to be. Through his coaching I was able to create more self awareness and understand what is truly important to me in my work life but also on a private level. The change he ignited in me is carrying me forward to this day. Every coaching session was a great experience and I found a save space to express myself without being judged. After our "official" coaching sessions were over I hit a hard place at work that challenged me and my believes strongly. I reached out to him and he made time for me on very short notice to sort through everything that was going on. This session gave me so much confidence in myself and great peace of mind about the decisions I had to take.
It is amazing to know that he will always be at my side as my coach and that he truly cares about me. I can highly recommend working with Michael.

It took me 28 years to realize that I had spent too much of my time acquiring professional skills to fit in a world where looking and learning from the outside seemed to be the right thing to do if I wanted to succeed. Even though I had “everything I needed in my life”, I was missing something. There was a piece in the puzzle I couldn´t find even by listening to my relatives, well-known podcasts, reading and trying to find something “out there” that would help me reconnect again with my inner passion. That´s when I chose Michael and made one of the most valuable investments for myself. Like drinking water, getting quality food, or doing sports: having a coaching process tailored to my personal needs became essential for my wellbeing.
With a very professional yet friendly and empathetic approach, he took me into a path of self-discovery and empowerment for better decision-making. I would recommend him without doubts!

I recently conducted a team day with a focus on self-awareness, diversity and team building. Michael kicked off the day with an inspiring coaching session followed by stretch & mobility. It was a perfect mental and physical springboard to our session and the team really appreciated Michaels positive energy and the words which are now stuck with us.
I give Michael my warmest recommendations.
Rachel Dickstein - Coach & Consultant - #lifecoaching #executivecoaching
I have been Michael's life and executive coaching client since April 2020. At the time that I began working with Michael, I had just been informed that my project in the public sector had no chance of being extended past its originally planned two-year time frame, and I also knew that I wanted to go in another direction professionally anyway. Given that I was doing a great deal of project management in my job at the time, I had a general idea of what I wanted for my future job but it was not yet completely clear. Michael helped me establish a clear goal for what kind of field of work I wanted to move into and then taught me how to brand myself based on my core values and network with beneficial contacts who match those values. His coaching techniques also helped me find the right tools to overcome my trauma from a former subpar employer and gave me the bravery to re-enter the private sector. With Michael as my sparring partner for a concrete roadmap on how to reach my goal, I not only established a brand for myself, but I also found the right further education to complete in order to shift into the worlds of Agile and New work as well as become a certified Professional Scrum Master and become a pro-bono community lead in an Agile meetup organization. I wouldn't have been nearly as productive if it hadn't been for Michael's expertise, guidance, positive encouragement and constant reminders of my professional goal! Especially during my job application and interview processes, Michael helped me in reframing even the not-so-great interviews and consistently showed me what I can learn from each experience.
I absolutely encourage anyone who is planning on making a career change or getting further in a current career trajectory to choose Michael for life and executive coaching. It makes all the difference!
