My life story is filled with love, happiness and success. Living with a father who has schizophrenia and my own experience with childhood trauma shaped the way I lived.

Persevering through trauma-inducing experiences in childhood, coping with mental illness in families, elevating leadership through emotion awareness.

Mike has a gift for normalizing narratives so people can share their challenges and identify ways to overcome their limitations. Everyone is limited in some way. Often what holds us back is what happened to us as we grew up. Negative events that caused trauma in life also embed patterns, or instincts, that are designed to protect us. In our modern world these protections often hold us back. In doing, so, they can strain our families, relationships and work. Not everyone experienced childhood abuse, but almost everyone has lived under toxic-stress at some point. Many people feel they are living below their potential. Mike shows you ways to gain insight needed to develop the awareness to overcome any limitation keeping you from your own personal or professional success. Mike is an international bestseller of nine books, a keynote speaker, men’s mental health advocate, corporate wellness trainer, and sought after business strategist who has shared his insights and wisdom with thousands of passionate purpose driven entrepreneurs, business leaders and executives. His coaching focuses on purpose at the intersection of personal, professional and philanthropic development.
