Having participated in the design, development, and deployment of several leading performance programs at the Human Performance Institute, I have a wealth of experience in the multidimensional aspects of managing energy to perform effectively. My experience includes programs at multiple levels including Executive Leadership programs offered only to C-suite level participants at leading organizations worldwide. The programs were studied by third parties and shown to have efficacy several years after participating. Engagements for executive coaching were 1:1 coaching and other programs would be delivered as 1:1 coaching or team coaching offerings.

Welcome! I’m Mike, a professional career coach here to help you navigate every stage of your professional journey. I know firsthand how overwhelming career decisions can feel, but you don’t have to go it alone. When I launched my own career, I faced intense competition while balancing academic excellence, securing scholarships, and leveraging my network to create meaningful opportunities. Along the way, I not only learned how to craft a compelling cover letter and resume but also how to pivot under pressure—a skill I instill in my clients as they navigate their own career challenges. Through my work in Trinity College admissions and recruiting at Boston Children's Hospital and Mass General Brigham, I gained firsthand insight into what makes candidates stand out—not just on paper, but in the minds of decision-makers. I also saw how non-traditional predictors of success—like adaptability, emotional intelligence, and storytelling—can be just as powerful as credentials in securing the right opportunities. As a seasoned mentor, I know what truly makes a candidate shine—whether in applications, interviews, or on the job. My coaching is structured, results-driven, and deeply personalized. Whether you’re a student exploring career paths, a recent graduate entering the job market, or a professional looking to transition roles, I’ll meet you where you are and help you take the next steps in your journey. By identifying your unique strengths and aspirations, we’ll craft a winning strategy that allows you to advance while maintaining balance and wellness. If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s build your career together—I’d love to help you succeed!

Let’s work together to creatively design your career and life around what really matters to you, so you can thrive, even when everything feels like a dumpster fire. After working for 20+ years in design and leadership, I learned (the hard way) that burnout is persistent. Finding fulfillment and balance in your career is challenging. I became a coach to help people find meaningful careers and their own path towards actually enjoying their lives.
