Before becoming a coach, I spent nearly a decade in marketing and PR. While I initially enjoyed it, it eventually left me feeling unfulfilled. I decided to see a coach to reignite my passion. At first, I thought it was just an entrepreneurial itch, but nothing felt quite right until coaching came up. With a psychology degree and my mum’s suggestion to become a coach when I was 17, it suddenly felt like fate. But then came the overwhelm: how do I start? Where do I go? Without connections or experience in coaching, I felt lost.

I knew what I wanted to do, but didn’t know how to get there. The coaching industry felt flooded with formulas that didn’t resonate with me, especially in branding. So, I searched for a mentor. That’s when I found Michael. His website made me think, “He’s either crazy or exactly what I need.” Despite the intimidating fee range, I knew I had to meet him.

After researching, I realised he was the only one who could help me achieve the success I wanted. The biggest takeaway was the shortcut he offered—his experience saved me years of trial and error in business strategies, handling clients, and sales. This was exactly what I needed as I knew that apart from high coaching skills, which many schools and accreditations can offer, I also need the business education in order to fully reach my potential - this could only come from someone highly successful in the field I wanted to succeed in.

One of the biggest lessons I learnt from Michael was how to have audacity. He taught me how to act with conviction, even when self-doubt creeps in. As a woman, it’s easy to second-guess yourself, but his guidance on assertiveness was a game-changer.

Unexpectedly, working with Michael also helped me meet my partner. As I grew in my business, I had breakthroughs in dating and life balance. Another major lesson was how to handle my perfectionism. I had been burning out trying to meet impossible standards, but he taught me to be kinder to myself, allowing my business to thrive without sacrificing my well-being.

Working with Michael helped me grow not just professionally, but personally. The lessons I learned would have taken years of self-exploration to replicate, if even possible at all. When I first checked his website, I thought he’d be unapproachable, but I was surprised by how warm and easy he was to connect with. Our first consultation lasted five hours because we just clicked so well.

If you’re considering working with Michael, I strongly urge you to book a consultation. If you feel the connection, I’m confident he will over-deliver, and the investment will be worth it. It can be scary to commit, and I even went into debt to work with him, but it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Bold moves create meaningful, visible change, and working with Michael was one of those life-changing milestones.
