It’s a requirement to…
Be great at what you do
Coaching is your opportunity to share your new ideas, personal doubts and honest feelings with someone who has just one interest: to help you be great at what you do.
The only requirement is that you have a burning desire to continuously improve.
Together, we will get you there – and continue accelerating your growth as a leader, a colleague, a friend, a spouse, or a parent.

“17 Years of Experience Coaching Executives”
Seventeen years ago, Michael made the transition from conducting symphony orchestras to coaching, mentoring, and consulting. Since then, he has been at the helm of ScaleYOU Coaching and LeanMail. In addition, he has been teaching at IESE Business School in Barcelona, all with the singular goal of helping others unlock their full potential.
Michael’s success stories are a testament to his expertise and dedication. Over half of his clients have worked with him on a weekly basis for more than seven years. Included in his roster are CEO’s of Fortune 100 companies. Michael’s coaching also helped facilitate an American CEO in turning around a large law firm that was over m in debt to achieving over m in profits in less than four years. Remarkably, their profitability tripled in just three years after that initial transformation.
Michael has also had a significant impact on small businesses. He helped transform a one-man band oil company into a team of six employees, increasing their turnover by 300% in under two years. Additionally, a CEO of an IT services company who received coaching from Michael for six years doubled their number of employees and more than doubled their turnover before helping the owner sell his company.
These snapshots of success stories exemplify Michael’s expertise in coaching and consulting. His commitment to helping others achieve their full potential has proven to be invaluable to individuals and businesses alike.
