Radical transformations.
No bullshit.
Michael Serwa - The Best Career Coach in London
Work with the top career coach in London and fulfil your true professional potential.
Are You Ready for a Career Change?
As a successful career coach, I firmly believe that you get out of life what you put into it. Got the skills and determination but lack the know-how to fulfil your potential? You've come to the right place!
But if you're not prepared to put your blood, sweat, and tears into maximising your potential, it's probably best that you leave right now.
My personality and coaching style can be too much for most people. "In your face" is an understatement.
If you're not prepared to hear some hard truths about yourself – and act upon them – it's probably best to look for an alternative executive coaching journey.
I've always been a free spirit. I'm a maverick, and I tend to resonate with similar people – regardless of their industry or profession. I don't really work with your everyday professional.
I'm in the business of career change – and business has never been better. I'm an exceptional person looking to transform the lives of exceptional people – and my coaching services have never been more popular than they are today.
My London-based coaching practice is all about helping people who have the potential to excel in their careers but, for whatever reason, haven't been able to turn their potential into the results they expect.
I'm an acclaimed life coach in London. My results speak for themselves. Don't believe me? Just ask the guys at GQ Magazine.
So, what can I do for you?
Perhaps you're lost in your professional life. Maybe you've strayed into a career you're not enjoying. I can help you secure the fulfilling career you were put on this Earth to enjoy.
Why am I the career coach you may not want but know you need?
Well, I know I can help because I'm a master of change. I don't just motivate and instil confidence – although both of those tasks are vitally important. I apply what I've learned during my own journey of self-discovery to help others.
But before you read another word, let me be blunt.
My approach to career coaching is too direct for some. If you want an easier ride, it's probably best that we part ways right here.
Still reading? Excellent! If I haven't put you off, and you're prepared to sweat blood and tears in the pursuit of your professional ambitions, I am "the" career change coach for you!
Ways I Can Help
When you attend my coaching sessions, you'll never know what to expect. That's because one of my jobs is to help you embrace positive change. Of course, positivity doesn't necessarily mean a comfortable life. But if you buy into my no-bull**it approach to empowering people, there are several ways I can support you on your journey to career greatness.
Clarify Your Career Goals
I'm not here to tell you how to achieve your goals. I'm here to help you develop a growth mindset. That's what it's all about. Grow as a person, and your career will grow, too.
What are your ultimate career goals? Running your own business? Making a sh**load of money before you're 50? Rising to the top of your industry in a leadership role? Once you understand where your final destination is, I can provide you with the fuel to get there.
Create a Personalised Career Change Action Plan
While I can't lead you to greatness, I can help you put the building blocks in place to get there yourself. Once you know you need to change your career and where you're headed, I can work with you to create a clear action plan to get there.
What qualifies me to help you with your career change action plan? Well, I became one of London's most successful career coaches with nothing more to my name than positive psychology and the money in my pocket. Why is that relevant? Because I've walked the walk. I don't deal in bu**shit. You'll get to know that about me very quickly.
But I've helped hundreds of exceptional people excel in a fulfilling career they love. It's not an exaggeration to say that I've transformed lives across London and beyond.
Develop Your Confidence
Did you know that there's a more confident version of you fighting to get out? Even if you think you have an abundance of self-belief, there's always room for more.
Confidence isn't cockiness or arrogance. It's having the mental strength needed to pursue your ideal career with complete determination. It's deciding that a career change is the only way you'll be able to live with yourself – even if that causes some short-term difficulties in your life. It's having total, unwavering belief in your ability to do your job better than any of your competitors.
I hold the keys to unlocking the confidence that lies dormant within you. That's why many of the people I've helped over the years refer to me as a confidence coach.
Prepare You Mentally for Career Change
Some people avoid career change because they're worried about their mental health. But this is completely the wrong way to think about it. Being trapped in an unfulfilling, unrewarding job – in my experience – has a far more detrimental effect on mental well-being than pushing yourself out of your comfort zone.
My approach to coaching involves giving you the mental fortitude to deal with all the sh** that comes with change.
Develop Leadership Skills
If you're going to rise all the way to the top of your profession or industry, you're going to have to become an exceptional leader.
You don't need to be a manager to be a leader, of course. Being a leader involves making brave decisions, taking the initiative when others won't, and developing a reputation for making the kind of bold decisions that earn respect.
As a career coach, one of my priorities will be to develop those leadership skills so people turn to you when big decisions need to be made. That's how you reach the top. You make yourself indispensable when it comes to career-defining moments.
Help You Navigate Workplace Challenges
Every career has its ups and downs. If you don't want to accept that fact, I may not be the career coach for you. But if you want to learn how to roll with the punches and turn losses into learning opportunities, we're going to get on like a house on fire.
When a serious challenge rears its ugly head, you don't just need to address the immediate problem. You need to ensure that the same challenge never interrupts your progress again. You also need to learn from the experience to become better. I can help you turn these situations into powerful development tools.
Keep You Accountable and Motivated
I never blame others for things that go wrong in my professional life – even when others are to blame! My approach to coaching involves making you accountable for your own success.
There will be times when you feel stuck or helpless. I know how to get you back by tapping into the motivation that brought you to my door in the first instance. It may not be easy, but in my experience, nothing in life worth having is.
My Approach to Executive Coaching
I'm your career coach, not your parent. I'll give you the truth about your career at all times – even when I know it will upset you or cause uneasiness between us. Feel sorry for yourself on your own time. My job is to get results, which means assessing your needs and giving you your "change career medicine".
While I can be bombastic, direct, and – at times – fiercely competitive, I offer compassion and genuine care for all of my clients. I'm only hard on people because I want the very best for them and their careers.
Claim the Life Your Talents Deserve
Change your career; change your life. Attending my life sessions regularly teaches you to navigate change with agility and confidence. But even that's not enough. My coaching ethos demands more from you.
I want to change your psychology when it comes to everything from business to the way you focus on what's truly important.

Career Coaching FAQs
How Can I Be Sure You're the Right Coach for Me?
Let's get right to the point. You want to change career, you have the ability to achieve your goals, and you're not afraid of the no-bull**it coaching approach I favour. If this is you, we're probably going to get on famously. But we can try each other out for size through a free discovery meeting.
How Are You Different from All the Other Life & Career Coaching Professionals in London?
I could talk for hours about my credentials as a leading London career coach, but you'd probably get bored and hit the 'back' button faster than you can say "unfulfilled potential".
Don't take me at my word when I say I have the coaching expertise, experience, and passion to help you excel in business or your professional sphere. Just take a look at some of my proudest achievements as a career coach (click the link to see 47 clients share their success stories there).
I Adapt My Approach to the Individual
I'm a successful career coach because I don't bring any biases or preconceptions to coaching sessions. I don't use templates. I detest the cookie-cutter approach.
I'll get to know you. I'll take the time to understand what's holding you back from fulfilling your professional potential. And only then will I create a wholly bespoke executive coaching programme. I'm one of life's natural communicators
As a Career Coach, I Demand Accountability
A central tenet of my coaching approach involves being accountable for your own career and professional achievements.
OK, so you don't think your skills are getting the recognition they deserve. Are you going to waste time and energy on telling people they're wrong - or are you going to SHOW them they're wrong?
You know you need to change career, but you're waiting for things to happen. That's not taking accountability; that's called passing the buck.
Your career, your responsibility. It doesn't matter how unfairly you've been treated. Who cares that you're not getting the support you need in your current business? This is your life. When you come to me for career coaching, I'll put you on the spot. There'll be no room for excuses...nowhere to hide.
But as tough as the process might be – and hearing home truths can be very tough – all I want is for you to achieve the kind of career success and fulfilment you've always dreamed of. That's why you may come to think of me as an accountability coach.
Who is your typical coaching client?
I'm a Winner Who Works with Winners
My coaching ethos involves maximising your potential. Don't get me wrong. You don't have to have a string of achievements under your belt in order to respond to my coaching methods. That's not what I mean when I call clients winners.
You're a winner in my eyes if you realise you're unhappy and need support. You're a winner if you know there's a better job out there for you and you're prepared to do whatever it takes to make it yours. You're a winner if you're determined to work as hard as I do to achieve your dreams.
Where else can I read about your approach to career and life coaching?
My coaching approach has helped countless people change careers, which is why journalists and editors are always interested in what I have to say. As you'll see in an article published by The Telegraph, I have my own way of doing things – and it works!
