Working with Michael has completely transformed my life and I don’t say that lightly. I reached out to him out of curiosity, wondering how life coaching might help me see things differently and find new possibilities, both personally and professionally.

When I read Michael’s website, it felt like he was speaking to me. I sent him an email straight away. A few days later, we had an initial call, and within hours, I’d signed up.

When I started working with Michael, my business was doing well, but I could feel something shifting. I was in a transition, and I wanted to see what was possible if I tried something different. I’d worked with business coaches before, but life coaching felt like a different way to get support, something deeper, more personal which was what I was craving.

I don’t think I really went into it with specific problems to fix or goals to hit. It was more about what I could unlock if I worked with Michael. The phrase ‘what got me here won’t get me there’ was on my mind and all I can say is that I’m pleased I followed my intuition. Michael has taken me to places I didn’t even know I needed to go. He’s helped me work out what’s really important in my life, challenged the way I think, and shown me how to look at things from angles I hadn’t considered before.

Michael isn’t the kind of coach who gives you advice and sends you on your way. He’s right there with you, fully invested in what you’re going through. He doesn’t just show up for the calls; he’s all in. That’s rare. And honestly, it’s been priceless. I have never felt more supported.

One thing I didn’t expect was the friendship that’s come out of this. Michael is someone who genuinely cares, even when he’s being tough on you. And he can be tough. He’ll call you out when you need it, and he won’t let you stay comfortable if it’s holding you back. But that’s what makes him so good at what he does.

At the same time, he’s grounded, patient, and really gets where you’re coming from. He knows when to push and when to give you the space to work things out. That balance is rare to find in any kind of coaching. You’re not just getting a coach; you’re getting someone who’s in your corner every step of the way.
