About Me
MIke%20Big%20headshot%20december%202018_

A Career Coach for more than a decade, I was also a  Recruiter / Talent Acquisition Leader in Silicon Valley, hiring more than 1,000 people in engineering, sales, and marketing, finance, and operations. As they grew and looked for new opportunities they reached out for ideas and direction.

I apply the ideas and experiences learned from leading entrepreneurs plus my founding a successful eCommerce firm. These experiences taught me the nuts and bolts of business and leadership.

I also coach and assist in the  Career Success programs at the Wharton Executive MBA Program in San Francisco.  We've developed an innovative program called the "Job Search Action Group".

A graduate of the Hudson Institute of Coaching, I'm a Professional Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation. I have a B.S. in Health Information Systems with an Emphasis in Psychology and Nursing.

Coaching isn't therapy or counseling, it is a focused, safe place to deal with change and transition. Coaches don't tell you what to do - we create an environment where you can explore new ideas, create strongly desired aspirations and then build a plan to achieve them.

 

Coaching is meant to achieve goals and develop skills to help you improve your personal and professional life.

Coaching helps you to take actions aligning with your values and beliefs - and achieve results.

Testimonials

I'm honored to work with amazing people.  Even more, when they endorse the work we do together.  

 

Here are recent endorsements

Mike's coaching was instrumental to my career transition during the Wharton MBA program. He helped me identify and prioritize my interests which ultimately led to a job function change that required taking a risk.

 

He took the time to carefully listen to my words and the things that I wasn't saying. He held me accountable to the goals I set for myself. Mike is one of the sincerest coaches I have ever worked with and genuinely wants to help each person find their path.

Paty R

Marketing

Mike is by far one of the best career coaches I have had the pleasure to work with. Unlike other coaches, Mike will patiently listen to your career aspirations and present multiple approaches/routes to achieve them. He is very happy to make introductions to his former clients and help you gain a different perspective or an insight into a particular industry or function. 

His frameworks on branding, interviews and offer negotiations are priceless.

Nikhil M

Technology Sales

Mike is amazing--patient, thoughtful, and full of great advice and knowledge. He made time for me and provided fantastic insight into my career journey. It has been key for me to have Mike as a resource because his knowledge is firsthand, researched, or based on plenty of experience in his network. He is authentic and straightforward. I would highly recommend him for both sides of a career negotiation.
