I met Michael as part of my personal development program. The business was growing rapidly and so were my responsibilities. My default response was to work harder and longer to get it all done. I had always been successful by getting in to the detail and ensuring high quality output.
I was working very long hours, feeling overloaded. I still enjoyed the satisfaction of a getting stuff done, but I was slowly burning out and I could see my career was at a cross-road. As I look back now I see that I was not fully developing others which had an impact on growth, motivation and people leaving.
Michael’s coaching helped me to see my strengths and weaknesses and get clear on my leadership style. I also got more clarity on the type of environment that helps me to be at my best. I have significantly developed my delegation skills, my influence skills, and my assertiveness. The coaching has helped to open up more career opportunities. I feel greater satisfaction from work, even though I am doing less tasks. I feel more confident in my ability as a leader.
Michael was fantastic at providing very practical tools and tips to help with my leadership development as well as many specific challenges I had in the work place. I found it invaluable to be able to bounce ideas off Michael and get his input. With Michael being outside the formal organisation it was much easier to share all my thoughts and very useful to get a different perspective on things.
The motivation and engagement of my team has improved and along with it the productivity. I feel more confident that my good people will stay in the team. My mind is much clearer and I am making better strategic decisions.
I very happily recommend Michael’s coaching to any leader, especially those who want practical tools for managing a very high workload.

Wayne Dyson Building Leaders that Engage

I have recommended Michaels services to clients of mine in his capacity to help people get focused on the priorities that make the biggest difference in their management/leadership function.

Why?

Michael is a great reader of people as to where they are at and where they need to get to. He is quick to pick up on what interventions and strategies need to be engaged to help leaders be better at both a professional and personal level.

Kevin Smith, Asia Pacific regional manager at Authentic Leadership Institute

Michael has provided outstanding coaching support to a number of my clients. he is a totally professional, results-oriented coach and my clients speak very highly of his integrity and skills.

Greg Azzopardi

I found Michael to be an excellent listener and therefore could modify the set training to reach the highest results. Michael went above and beyond the set requirements that were outlined in the course to achieve great results. The proof is that I am still to today relating learnings directly back to our sessions with Michael and continue to improve as a leader and as a person.

Doing the coaching has given me the strength I did not know I had, and made me really think about issues in my life.  I see it as a turning point in my life.
Laurelle Ward – Production Controller Kea Sportswear – satisfaction rating 9/10

I am amazed at how much things changed in just 2 months. I have saved about 15 hours a week. I feel more in control and much less stressed. I knew I couldn’t sustain what I was doing, but I wasn’t able to change, until I did Michael’s program. Now I see how I can success in my job and have a life!
Dilip Kotecha – Marketing Manager Coloplast – satisfaction rating 8/10

Michael was fabulous.  He really listened when we first met – I was quite up-set.  I wasn’t happy at work and wasn’t performing up to my usual high standards.  Through the coaching series my confidence increased dramatically.  My sales improved over 70%.  It was also the insights I gained that made the experience so valuable.  Specifically I realised that I truly am responsible for how I feel and perform. I was able to take action and change both!  I am continuing the coaching with Michael and would highly recommend him.
Samantha Bishop – Sales Manager First National Real Estate – satisfaction rating 9/10

I really look forward to our sessions.  Often I arrive pressured and out of focus.  I always leave feeling better, clearer and ready to take action. Thanks for keeping me on track

I was able to improve my productivity by about 50%.  Not only did I improve my organisational skills (not just knowing what to do, but DOING IT), I also felt great because each day I was working on the projects that have the biggest impact on the company!
Andrew Cester – Director Whirlwind Print – 8/10

I was able to reach my goals in less than 3 months – there is no doubt that the coaching was significant in accelerating my achievement of these outcomes. I now work 8-10 hours less per week yet my sales have exceeded my targets.

Koby Jones – eCommerce Executive ANZ Bank – satisfaction rating 9/10

I took on the coaching to improve my people management skills.  Not only did these skills improve but I got many more insights to my thinking and behaviour.  Michael helped my see that I worry too much and that I can be more positive.  I now listen more actively and live more in the ‘now’.

Nick Jojkity – Senior Executive Davis Langdon – satisfaction rating 9/10

The coaching with Michael helps me keep the business on track with the IMPORTANT projects, not just handling the urgent ‘in my face’ stuff.
Steve Ross – Director Wizard Financial Services- – satisfaction rating 9/10

Thanks Michael for helping me through an interesting period of my working life. Your insights have given me a platform from which I am now able ready and confident to take the next step, whatever that maybe.
Mark Robertson – Executive Manager – satisfaction rating 9.5/10

Coaching was a great experience for me.  I realised that I truly can achieve whatever I want to set myself to achieve.  I learnt that my actions have a lot to do with my attitude.  When I started the coaching I was off-track.  Through the process my performance increased (over 50% increase in sales), my confidence is up and my stress levels are down.  Through the support of my coach I was able to assess “where I am now” and look at where I want to be.  Overall I rate the coaching 9/10.  I am really confident and excited about moving forward and I happily recommend Michael – he is a great coach!
