What We Offer
Leadership Transformation - Coaching the Leaders
Mike works with executives and Boards ready to move beyond incremental improvement and into transformation leading to results beyond the predictable. Through one-on-one coaching, team development, or organisation-wide engagements, he enables leaders to:
-
Reframe complex challenges into opportunities for breakthrough results.
-
Generate psychologically safe, high-trust environments that unlock real commitment.
-
Distinguish doing from being - and lead from purpose, not position.
-
Anchor commitment so performance becomes self-sustaining.
-
Provide insightful and actionable perspectives and feedback.
-
Personalise the learning.
Mike’s coaching draws on decades of CEO and Board experience, integrating ontology (the study of being) and phenomenology (how situations occur) with practical experience and applied learning. The result: leadership that generates clarity, alignment, and extraordinary outcomes.
Based on Mike’s extensive experience, he can mentor or coach for any individual leadership circumstances and diverse business contexts. Mike's commitment is to identify and help you close gaps in any aspect of business performance or strategy.
Sustainable Performance - Coaching the Corporate Athlete
Sustained high performance is not about endurance or sheer brainpower - it is about coherence. Drawing on the Corporate Athlete framework, Mike helps leaders renew and align their four domains of energy and presence believing that the ideal performance state is achieved by addressing all aspects of the person rather than just cognitive development.
Mike has worked within this model for 25 years at the most senior level so has lived experience, with tools and practices to share about achieving harmony between all four levels.
Level 1 - Physical capacity
Builds endurance and promotes emotional and mental recovery.
Level 2 - Emotional capacity
Creates the internal climate that drives the Ideal Performance State.
Level 3 - Mental capacity
Focuses physical and emotional energy on the task at hand.
Level 4 - Spiritual capacity
Provides a powerful source of motivation, determination and endurance.
Thought Leadership -
Speaking, writing and ideas in action
Mike’s ideas are shared through keynotes, publications, podcasts, and his various books. His speaking and writing provoke reflection and inspire leaders to see themselves - and their impact - differently.
He focuses on clarity, relevance, and transformation - connecting big ideas and science to real-world action. Questions that often frame his work include:
-
Where are my thoughts leading me?
-
How can my thinking unlock things for others?
-
How can this help others sustain extraordinary performance?
-
How can my insights serve Aotearoa NZ and the world beyond?
Each engagement moves audiences from insight to action - because awareness alone changes nothing.
