Coaching is key to creating a more open, flexible, resilient organization: one that awakens people & values them — their skills, ideas & contributions — & seeks to genuinely develop & empower them. To be effective, coaching must happen at every level in the organization.
We specialize in coaching leaders over a committed period of time to facilitate higher performance levels throughout their organizations by increasing their awareness, skill sets, & confidence to act as coaches & transformational leaders.
"A coach is someone who asks you questions you may not want to answer, has you see things you may not want to see, & teaches you how to do things you didn't know you could do — so you can be who you have always known you could be."
Ashley Warrenton-Smith
"I began working with Ashley several years ago when I was in chiropractic school. I wanted to establish a clinic for healing when I graduated yet I felt paralyzed by all that I needed to do, the lack of start-up capital — and, on top of that, I had some internal conflicts about doing so that were fear-based. We worked together on a regular basis with the following results: I founded Pinnacle Health Center 5 years ago, clients fly in from all over the world, and we purchased our own plane last year. To say that I have achieved my dreams is an understatement — and I now have new ones!"
Dr. Ed Hunt, Founder
Pinnacle Health Center

"As my coach, Mike has helped me transform in my role as a global Strategic Brand Manager in ways I did not dream possible. Prior to utilizing him as my coach, I had achieved a measure of success in marketing; however, I had larger dreams for my professional future. In working with Mike over the last year, I identified strategic new ways of thinking and behaving as a leader that have made an enormous difference in my career and in my life. I have built an extensive network of contacts which has created a virtual team for me to access. I facilitate cross-functional teams to accomplish outstanding results from diverse geographical areas. I learned to utilize my personal power by sharing expertise in participating effectively in teams. All of this and more has made accomplishing my goals much easier. I am very grateful for Mike's coaching partnership with me."Paolo Trombini, Worldwide Strategic Brand Manager

Research shows that high-functioning teams are essential for companies to successfully address today’s unprecedented business challenges. With the increased need for innovation and the ability to solve complex problems it is important to create teams that are characterized by collaboration, clear communication, and the ability to resolve conflict when it occurs.
We specialize in helping teams transform themselves from team dynamics that may include resistance, unspoken agendas, polarization, and discord into highly performing teams that demonstrate positive engagement, develop creative solutions, and optimize productivity.
When teams transform themselves, business success follows.
Our Team Diagnostic Assessment™ pinpoints a team's strengths as well as areas needing development. This assessment asks the team to assess itself as a team – rather than aggregating individual responses. The results are unfolded as an integral part of a two-day team development workshop.
Our work has been specifically designed to create change at a cellular level. Systems Coaching offers proven processes based on research by Reuven Bar-on, Daniel Goleman, Arnold Mindell, John Gottman, and Marcus Buckingham.
We use cutting edge Relationship Systems Work™ such as Deep Democracy, Relationship Metaskills™ and Third Entity™ which creates real, tangible, and lasting change.
Learning accelerates and is sustained with a team coach working with your team one or two times a month. Teams more rapidly assimilate and apply what they have learned during training to actual team situations, such as planning sessions, team meetings, and problem-solving sessions.
Off-site retreats can help your team meld and focus their development on specific areas. Distractions are minimized and learning is maximized.
"Our team was able to take on a new project with a 20% increase in efficiency. Even with the larger volume, our staff was under less stress and teamwork improved. Overall, our profitability has increased yielding ROI of the cost of the training within 8 to 9 months."

It enabled us to not only create substantial change in our community, but it has also enabled us to do it with pride and partnership with each other and the community. We feel healthier and more sustainable as an organization and as individual activists.”Annan Patterson, President
