I have had the incredible opportunity to learn from Michael through the Nashville Entrepreneur Center's Catalyst program. Michael shared generously from his decades of experience with openness, honesty and a great sense of humor. He gave me the real tools that I needed to improve my business. Sessions with Michael left me excited to work on my business of 9 years. He inspired me to improve the way I communicate with our team, change the way we hire, create a marketing strategy and create more value for our customers. I am a better leader and have a better business because of my work with Michael!

Michael possesses a rare combination of keen business acumen, strategic thinking and the ability to speak straight and deliver candid feedback without being abrasive.

I've had the wonderful opportunity to spend some time with Michael and he has proved to be a very wise guide for our work. He has an uncanny understanding of the health industry as well as a passion for making people, systems, and communities better. In understanding his work with the Nashville Healthcare Council, he has clearly helped play an impactful role in the vitality of not just an industry but an entire geography. He has been very very generous with both his time and equally generous with his encouragement and mentorship. It is a very rare person who is both business and civic-minded to this level. His care of his community and those he works with is evident. High marks.

I've benefited from having Michael as my executive coach for several years. Hands down, there is no one better.

Michael provides a safe, structured, and trustworthy environment where you can achieve clarity and confidence to move towards your goals. His extensive knowledge and business experience, combined with his ability to listen, curiously ask the right questions, and challenge when needed, makes him the perfect coach.

After years as a marketing and sales executive, I launched a new business during the pandemic. Like many solopreneurs, I felt worried and doubted myself. I sought Michael's support during this significant professional transition. His coaching led me to greater self-awareness and transformed how I approach my goals. I have found even greater success and ensured my business's direction matches my mission and values.

I could not recommend Michael more, and I can confidently say I would not be as successful as I am today without his coaching.

Michael has profoundly changed the course of both my life and business through his mentorship and guidance. I have attended Catalyst for the last 7 months where I have had the privilege to learn from him. Each session has provided clear, practical, and easily implemented skills that have dramatically challenged me and changed the course of my business. I am confident that the business I have today has the foundation and leadership in place to continue to scale and grow. Michael has also provided individual support & guidance for me, and I can confidently say that with this support I have the ability to see my dreams to create access to care in maternal mental health become reality.

Michael has been pivotal in the growth of our company as an advisor and mentor through the Catalyst program presented by the Nashville Entrepreneur Center. By creating a program that is both profound and impactful, he has allowed us to be thoughtful about our trajectory as a company. Each week we've gathered, our team has walked away with effective tools to refine our current business practices and engage with the community in order to scale.

Michael has challenged us to take inventory in our business in a way that we would never be able to realize. He has encouraged us to dissect our processes to ensure they are sustainable, succinct, and scalable. Finally, he molded our minds to make a complete shift in thinking and has empowered us to envision our business in a completely innovative manner. I have no doubt that our experiences with Michael will inform our business practices for years to come and I am certain we have higher aspirations with the confidence he instilled within us.
