When I was appointed CEO, there were some senior staff challenges facing me. Mike coached me and all of my direct reports during my first year with the company. He was successful in supporting my mission of facilitating solid performance from my direct reports and the team gave positive feedback about the value they each received from the coaching. As an indication of our view of Mike's work, we re-engaged him a year later when there were some new executives on the senior staff. CEO at a $200 million company
As Founder and CEO of a high-tech, start-upcompany that was four years old when I engaged Mike, I was in the middle of some significant managerial difficulties. The company needed more capacity, wanted Fortune 100 customers and needed investors at a time of an economic downturn. Most critically, I was new to the role as top executive and was having a difficult time getting comfortable with the expectations of my team from me as CEO. Mike worked with me very closely, conducted a 360 that provided some insightful feedback and then coached me for about a year. He was very successful in helping me grow and become effective in exercising the responsibilities of a CEO - be it as executive leader within the company, or as its public face toward customers and shareholders. The end result was significant forward progress for the company with headcount trebled and revenues up fivefold. At the end of my work with Mike, I asked him to work with some of my key senior executives. Founder and CEO
Mike has been instrumental in helping me grow as a successful senior executive and as a human being. I found his approach extremely thoughtful and highly effective. The combination of his careful listening and thought- provoking dialog helped me achieve results that were recognized by others. Not only was he effective in one-on-one coaching, he also worked with our key leadership team on an important transformation. If you are committed to your own growth, Mike will help you achieve professional and personal goals. Senior Vice President
My boss offered executive coaching and I went to HR to find out how it worked and to address my skepticism. Mike had a track record with the organization and we meet. Over a nine month period, Mike guided me in defining goals, gave practical suggestions to achieve the goals, shared numerous insights, motivated me to try new approaches and stimulated my thinking by asking many challenging questions. The end result was very satisfying including my promotion to Senior Vice President. Senior Vice President, Technology Innovation
