Leaders only

I work with a small number of leaders at a time.

Because of my speaking schedule, my 1:1 coaching practice is intentionally small. Every leader I take on gets my full attention, which is why I'm selective about who I work with.

I coach bold, driven and future-focused leaders who want to step out of their comfort zone, challenge the status quo and make an impact on the world.

This is for you if…

  • You lead a team, a department or an entire organization, and the stakes keep rising.
  • You're already performing at a high level, and you know there's another gear.
  • You want a thinking partner who will challenge you, not just cheer you on.
  • You're willing to do uncomfortable work to reach your goals.

This is not for you if…

  • You're looking for a quick fix or a pep talk.
  • You want someone else to do the work for you.
  • You aren't ready to commit to at least three months.

If that sounds like you, I'd love to hear from you.

The reality

The higher you rise, the less you can afford to lead on autopilot.

At your level, nothing gets simpler. The decisions get bigger, the calendar gets fuller and fewer people tell you the truth.

And most leaders were promoted for being great performers, not for being great leaders. The skills that made you the best at the work are different from the skills it takes to lead the people doing it, and almost no one gets trained for that jump. You're expected to figure it out on the fly, with more riding on every decision.

So most leaders lean on what got them promoted. They push harder. More hours. More pressure. More willpower. It works for a while, until it doesn't.

Elite athletes don't wait for a slump to train their mental game. Neither should you.

In 15 years with basketball's elite, I learned that the margins at the highest level are mental. The boardroom is no different. The leaders who win the moments that matter aren't the ones who grind the hardest. They're the ones who stay present when the pressure is highest.

That's a skill you can train. Coaching gives you the reps, the feedback and the mental game to succeed in the role you were promoted into.

Core areas of focus

Three areas. One integrated approach.

01

People

Build authentic connections, foster collaboration and create psychologically safe spaces where people and teams can do their best work.

02

Performance

Develop the mindsets, strategies and practices behind resilience, creativity and flow, so you and your team deliver when the pressure is highest.

03

Psychology

Apply the science of human behavior and cognitive psychology to make better decisions, manage stress and inspire motivation with confidence and clarity.

How it works

The HeartMind method

Where the heart of a conscious leader meets the mindset of an elite athlete.

Eastern philosophy+Sports performance psychology

A bespoke 1:1 program

Built around you: your role, your goals and the moments that matter most in your world. Nothing off the shelf.

Action items after every session

You'll leave each session with customized action items, so the work carries into your next meeting, your next decision and your next high-stakes moment.

A 3-month minimum

Real change takes reps. Three months gives us the time to build habits that hold up under real pressure.

The proof

Forged with basketball's elite. Brought into the boardroom.

I coached NBA MVP Joel Embiid, served as assistant director at Steph Curry's first skills academy, and grew a business I started in my college apartment into an international company. Today this work reaches executive coaching clients, senior leadership teams, and organizations including Google, Morgan Stanley, Deloitte, Wells Fargo and Cisco.

Mike's guidance, mindsets and strategies are instrumental in my success on and off the court. Practicing these strategies has been a big driver in ultimately fulfilling my childhood dream of playing in the NBA. Like so many other concepts, there is a huge crossover from what applies in the sports world to leadership, organizational performance and personal transformation.

Questions

Before you apply

Who is this coaching for?

Driven leaders who are already performing at a high level and want to reach the next one, whether you lead a small team, a department or an entire enterprise.

How long is the program?

There's a three-month minimum commitment. That gives us the time to turn insight into habits that hold up under real pressure.

What does it cost?

Every program is bespoke, so the investment depends on the scope of what we build together. If your application is a fit, we'll walk through the details when we talk.

Can my company sponsor it?

Yes. Coaching can be self-funded, company-sponsored or a mix of both. The application asks which applies to you.

Why can't I just book a call?

Because my 1:1 practice is intentionally small. Reviewing applications first means every conversation I schedule is with a leader I believe I can genuinely help, and it respects your time as much as mine.

Will my answers stay private?

Yes. Everything you share in your application is confidential.

Let's get to work

Let's get to the next level. Together.

If you're ready to lead with more presence, perform under pressure and make a bigger impact, I'd love to learn about you and what you're building.
