After hundreds of seminars and thousands of hours coaching employees and colleagues, Michael launched his executive coaching business in 2000, fueled by a passion to help corporate leaders discover (and rediscover) their commitment and excitement for their business. Being a chief executive is demanding, and Michael believes that top executives and emerging entrepreneurs have the potential to re-energize, keep learning, and become confident, inspired, and creative business leaders. When necessary, I bring other experts, business specialists to contribute as needs dictate.
When he’s not busy speaking and coaching, or engaged in community initiatives in his hometown of Redwood City, California, Michael can be found on or near San Francisco Bay, or relaxing with his family.

Research and compliance
Many studies have been completed on the efficacy of DiSC. When measuring behaviors, motivators, acumen or proficiency, a recent review concluded that no evidence exists to suggest a bias in any DiSC assessments that could cause an adverse influence regarding gender, race or disability status. Subgroups were determined to be U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity compliant and well within psychometric guidelines for the population median.
