Su P.
Before I met Michael, I was struggling to visualize where I wanted to be in my career. I was unfulfilled and was simply doing my job, going with the flow. Then I met Michael, who helped me articulate my passion and I am now building my career that is aligned with my vision and my values. Waking up everyday feeling energized and excited for the day is a huge gain. I'm in charge of where I want to be in my career, and also in life. To manifest your destiny is a hard thing. But with practice and his guidance, you can do it too. More...
Kritika
"As a career switcher to UX Design, I was really under confident about how to conduct a job search & present my work & story in an impactful way.
Michael has really pushed me to develop my narrative. He helped me see my work as disposable. With that, I was able to throw away some degree of perfectionism.
He even provided me with the framework to answers questions in an interview that boosted my confidence.
If you feel stuck, I highly recommend Michael."

What do you love most about your job?
My favourite thing about coaching is seeing people's transformation and receiving their gratitude. Knowing I've made a positive impact on their lives. This really makes me feel like I'm making a difference. Sounds cheesy, I know. But it's true ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What inspired you to start your own business?
After years of introspection, I realized I'm at my best when I'm working for myself and helping people at the same time. So coaching was a natural progression.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm authentic as hell, and my motivations and techniques are pure. I left a six figure salary working in tech to help people improve their lives. Teaching and guiding them through ONLY what I've personally experienced.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I provide both in-person (in downtown Montreal) and remote coaching via Zoom.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Nearly all of my client calls happen online. But for the ones in-person, I always make sure my clients are comfortable with the situation before proceeding.
