After living in Asia for five and a half years, I returned to London temporarily, but when my father became ill, I decided to stay. This unexpected transition led me to focus on growing my coaching business and making it financially sustainable.

Despite my confidence in my life’s direction, I felt uncertain about how fast things would progress and knew I needed mentorship. I wanted to set ambitious goals and support as many people as possible through my coaching. After searching for support, I decided to work with Michael. His website immediately drew me in. Initially, his confidence felt confronting, but I realised it was a sign I needed to step outside my comfort zone. His philosophy about living boldly resonated with me, and his direct, no-nonsense approach aligned with my own personality. It was an easy decision to work with him after our discovery session.

Michael helped me adjust my unrealistic expectations about the challenges of building a successful coaching business. He provided a reality check and showed me the effort required to succeed. Together, we broke down the areas of my business—branding, website, social media, and client attraction—and set clear goals. His blend of coaching and mentoring combined his expertise with an understanding of how I wanted to work.

He also introduced me to his network of experts, accelerating my progress. His attention to detail was exceptional, reviewing my LinkedIn, website, and messaging for consistency and professionalism. He also provided learning resources to help me upskill.

One of the biggest results of working with Michael was clarity. I now have a confident, consistent presence across all platforms and feel more capable of attracting and serving clients. He doesn’t promise quick fixes but focuses on building a long-term, sustainable business, which was exactly what I needed.

An unexpected outcome was a shift in my mindset. Michael’s clarity has helped me stop overthinking and let go of unnecessary worries. As someone prone to people-pleasing, this transformation has been invaluable. I’ve also gained a boost in confidence, not just in my business, but in all areas of my life.

Michael’s coaching style is an authentic extension of who he is: direct, professional, and kind. He balances warmth with a no-frills approach, making him both approachable and effective. From the start, he made me feel at ease and has continued to provide support even after our formal sessions ended.

If you’re considering working with him, my advice is simple: do it. He attracts the right people because of his clarity and authenticity. If his approach resonates with you, it will change your life. Thanks to Michael, I now have the tools, mindset, and confidence to create a successful coaching business that will last for years to come.
