Group Coaching Testimonials

Trace

One of the most significant experiences in my life. The amount of insight I gained into how to improve my life, both intrapersonal and in my relationships, was amazing. I could not be more stoked about the growth I experienced in a mere few weeks, and everything I am taking with me for the rest of my life! Mike is the real deal and so, so impactful. Being able to share and open up my life with other guys going through the same experiences was so insanely valuable and eye-opening.


Thomas

Mike's energy and enthusiasm were infectious. He made himself extremely available. He was also a better listener than my therapist! Mike was really out to challenge me and have me expand my life, to stop waiting around and say the things on my mind or ask for the things I want. The materials and assignments he provided are things I will revisit later on my journey of personal growth. 


Michael

This experience completely changed my outlook on how I approach different situations in my life, and I expect will have a lasting impact on my personal life, as well as relationships with others. Going into this one of the things I struggled the most with was consistency in terms of working out, and stress related to my work life balance.

Some of the tools that Mike taught me has helped me to reframe my thoughts on these previous struggles. Rather than telling myself that I should work out I have learned to reframe it as saying I will or want to work out. Instead of continuing the habit of doing tough workouts for a week or two then completely stopping I am now trying to make better habits, and even if I only do a 10 minute workout it is better than nothing.

Regarding stress and my work life balance, some of the breathing exercises I learned help me to relax in moments of stress. I also no longer look at work and life on the same level, rather than referring to a work life balance I think of it as just a life balance, and try to spend more time focusing on the things that bring me joy. I am continuing to learn a lot about myself but this group helped to provide me with the tools to to express gratitude more frequently and handle obstacles that I come across in a healthy manner.

Really enjoyed group coaching with Mike. He does an awesome job providing exercises and assignments that prompt reflection and self inquiry, and he creates an environment of trust and vulnerability for the guys. You won’t be off the hook giving easy answers with Mike - he will hold you accountable to challenge your own views and help you see and consider new and different perspectives. It’s not an easy six weeks (you dive into some hard-hitting topics), but it is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend to anyone seeking personal growth.


Kyle

I reached out to Mike in a period of major transition in my life. Ending of a long term relationship, accepted a new job and in the middle of a move to a new city. I was seeking help in many areas of my life but most of all needing help looking internally at who I really wanted to be and become. What locked me in was Mikes response during my first call with him, I explained to him what I was going through and his response was "It sounds like you have a lot going on but I am so excited for you!" Not the response I was expecting but he went on to tell me how that although this chapter is ending I have a chance to let go, become who I want to be, focus on the relationships that are important to me, reengage with friends and family that I had neglected and grow! The group of 10 men I was connected with was incredible! Everyone was very open about their struggles and why there were there. We went through 8 weeks of workshops and lessons on our own and came together every week to review and go over what we discovered, had trouble with or what works for us. It was nice to know other people were struggling with similar circumstances but also that they were looking to grow and change for the better of themselves, their partners or their families. Mike was a great leader, coach and his continued optimism throughout is something you don't find in many people. Big thank you to Mike and the 9 other men who shared and continue to share their journeys! 


Pablo

It is hard putting into words the power behind this course. The simplicity of it makes it accessible to anyone and the knowledge gained to be applied and live a happier life is priceless. PRICELESS. The work to be done is hard but it is the kind of challenging introspective work I’ve been wanting to figure out for myself and it will continue to push me to stay sharp and work to become a better man. Thanks to Mike and the opportunity to chat with other men about the subject, I can see that the lion behind the curtain is really a cat that needs MAJOR tender loving care. (Insert mindblown emoji) I am beyond grateful I was able to participate and take away SO MANY powerful tools that will help me improve and become a person of significance.


Nico

I really enjoyed these past few weeks. I have a feeling of gratitude after completing the work and sharing with all of the guys. I’m happy to of had the opportunity to take this course, and am looking forward to continuing my journey on my personal growth. Appreciate the transparency and how you made complex things sound so clear and simple. Hope to cross paths with you one day and meet you in person. Keep kicking ass brother! Much love.


Ronald

Mike’s personal group coaching has really impacted my life and given me tools to help achieve the goals that I want to and feel more in charge of my life! As men, it can be so hard to let yourself acknowledge your own feelings, but Mike has shown our group how to do this and still crush your goals.


Ryan

For me and those in the group, we have become lost in the pursuit of success within our careers. We are now coming to terms with the cost that has been incurred in our lives, how un-balanced we are in day-to-day life. Mike asks the right questions for you to dig deeper and find out the root cause of this unbalanced living and calibrate your compass to you get you pointed in the right direction. By all means, don't expect this to be easy.


Aidan

I really enjoyed working with Mike's group coaching program. I feel I grew a lot during the time thanks to Mike's instruction and commitment to helping his clients. He asked great questions and created a welcoming environment for everyone to share and learn together. Would highly recommend for anyone that feels stuck or is looking to bring their life to the next level.


Adam

I really enjoyed taking Mike's Men's Performance Coaching Program. It was filled with actionable knowledgeable. Some tidbits that the program included were steps to defining and accomplishing goals, build positive self-image, and facilitated thinking about purpose and meaning. It provided a wonderful framework for self exploration the combination of hearing other guys on their journeys was very helpful and insightful. I really enjoyed the course and look forward to continuing to apply some of the practices I learned throughout my life. I would recommend this course to other folks in a heartbeat.

Misha

As we move through day to day life, often it’s subconsciously and without direction. Mike’s group encouraged me to question the why of my movements and decisions. It challenged my routines and I found the time with the group to not only drive questions about me and who I am, but also to think critically about the rational and long term effects of smaller daily habits. Would highly recommend this program to anyone who is interested in exploring their inner selves.


Jake

I was going through a lot of change in my life and felt lonely and lost. Signing up for coaching with Mike was a perfect antidote. Through the group meetings and daily exercises I learned several techniques to help me take a deep dive into the emotions I am experiencing, feel gratitude for where I am, and take action to get to where i want to go. I went from feeling lost to finding myself.


James

I feel really fulfilled when I look back at the last few weeks. Coming into this experience I was prepared to find tools that could answer the question I was fixated on but didn't expect the wealth of small gifts that I feel I have received. I am leaving this class with new language that helps me find the space I need to grow - removing the burden of expectation through identifying shoulds, clearing space around self-criticism through acknowledgement, speaking directly to my values through sharing. The biggest surprise in all of this is that I have been worried about purpose without having cleared the clutter in front of me to be able to work on that with clarity. I'm taking the important lesson of having a Clear vessel to work in forward. I'm finding that I don't understand as much as I thought I did when it comes to what I need to be myself. Most importantly I'm realizing how important it has been for me to hear and speak in front of peers; men who are also on the journey of discovery. Through our conversations I have found myself asking questions that I feel could only have come through the dynamic we are sharing as men. It's driven me to ask more questions about my relationships with my father and his past, my sister and our lives as siblings and with my partner as we work to understand our future life. Overall, I'm leaving this not only feeling like Mike met my expectations but it set me up to lead the life I want and encounter the blind spots that have tripped me up in the past with power and knowledge.


David

Mike's unique style of coaching combined just the right balance of listening, questioning and challenging me in aspects of my life that I want to improve. He was able to break down personal growth concepts that I've heard of before, but didn't understand, into really simple language, examples and challenges that often struck a chord.


Steve

I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with Mike and "the group". I was hesitant in signing up primarily because I've never done something like this...however, I'm a huge believer in self growth and working towards happiness in all aspects in my life (personal relationships, health, and business). Mike's coaching helped with all 3 areas.

If you think you are the only man with issues, think again. It was refreshing to hear the 9 other guys talk about their problems and helped me open up about my own...and in return everyone helping with solutions. I can ultimately say this was well worth the time and money and I highly recommend Mike as a coach to help you through some of life's curveballs. And maybe you'll learn handstands too!


Tommy

I thought this was a great group that helped me accelerate my personal growth. I took a couple of very valuable personal connections away and added some more tools to my self awareness tool belt. Mike is a great dude who clearly has the best interests of those around him in mind. Mike’s one on one calls are phenomenal, as well. He’s got a true gift for understanding the little shifts that we can all make to get out of ruts.


Elliot

I was first attracted to this group because I wanted to perform at a higher level than what I had been in different aspects of my life.

Mike provided a lot of clarity all the time, sometimes with simple steps to break down some overthinking and analysis-paralysis patterns I tend to have. He also helped me become more self accountable with my own actions which is a simple but highly valuable concept. He was always well prepared for the sessions and kept us engaged at all times. He has a special talent to be able to connect, judgement free, to me and all the men in the group. He is just an overall super cool and solid guy!


Oscar

My experience with the Mike and the men's group was an amazing experience! Mike was able to help broaden my perspective on how best to address my daily struggles in order to reach a more fulfilling and meaningful relationship with myself. The tools and knowledge he provided me are invaluable and will be something I can always reference for years to come. Mike is a very caring, understanding, and patient person who really wants the best for everyone he coaches. I would highly recommend his coaching group and services to anyone interested in wanting to learn ways to improve themselves!
