Consulting services
Strategy • Performance expectations
Management consulting
Not your typical approach to management consulting, Mike and team can help you think through what you should expect of your people managers, what their direct reports should be contributing to the manager-employee relationship and how to build systems and development opportunities to maximize the relationship to the greatest effect. At its best, management is a 50/50 partnership and we can help you figure out how to make that real in your organization.
Facilitator management • Post-learning application
Managing Unconscious Bias
Every living person has unconscious biases that sabotage results. Most organizations have specific goals they want to achieve with regards to diversity & inclusion but spend precious little time understanding the role that bias plays in affecting their results. Building on the content that Mike built at/for Facebook (with COO Sheryl Sandberg) we can help you figure out how to make meaningful progress in starting conversations about the biases that are holding you and your organizations back.

1:1
Coaching
Mike is a certified coach by the International Coaching Federation (www.coachingfederation.org) and a 2019 graduate of the coach training program at The Hudson Institute (www.hudsoninstitute.com). Hudson is widely considered to be one of the best coaching schools in the world and its coaches have been doing groundbreaking work with clients for decades. He does coaching because he believes strongly that sometimes the best intervention is the smallest – a 1:1 coaching engagement. Mike has a long track record of coaching employees at all levels - from senior individual contributors to C-level executives - and. increasingly, in myriad different industries. Mike takes a ‘coach from behind’ approach with his clients, so regardless of the focus area, his approach is to help them see their goals clearly, understand the obstacles in front of them and the specific steps and actions they need to take to move in the direction that will leverage the very best of their strengths.
