Michael’s a good listener, and tries to make sure he understands what I’m saying. He communicates with me, instead of talking at me. His encouraging comments make me feel empowered.
Alan L., Undergraduate, UC Berkeley
Michael is great at being real, honest, open-minded, respectful of differences. He asks great questions that lead to whatever answer we’re looking for.
Jackie B., Undergraduate, UC Berkeley
Michael champions the truest, clearest part of me, and through our work helps me strengthen those qualities. He helped me transition from one career to
another with all the attendant issues – doubt, self confidence, envisioning future possibilities, self image and gaining and then holding my power differently. I've been offered perspectives I had not thought about, ways to consider issues, problems and events in a new, fresh way.
Daniel F., Videographer, Los Angeles
Michael has a very strong, responsive instinct to what's happening in the moment. We have fun in the process, but by the end I have a clear sense of what I've been able to learn and where I need to go with it. He is so great at not ever making judgments, but his sword cuts swiftly through the potential tangle of useless thoughts and rationale with which I can so easily stall progress...
Lisa L., Singer and Songwriter, NYC
I would say that your coaching proffers ruthless compassion to work on a staggering range of personal goals and aspirations. We went into the depths of my being and wrestled over an extended period with old, crusty, past ways and built new strategies and, better yet, new ways of being that are more firmly rooted in the present.
Francisco M., Internet Strategist, San Francisco
Michael is authentic and is able to see what lies beneath the emotional experience. By doing simple exercises, answers seem to unfold at the right moment. He helps me to be open and really listens to what I have to say.
John B., Psychologist, Los Angeles
