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”
Michael transitioned from conducting symphony orchestras to coaching and consulting 17 year ago. Since then, he has been leading Atrendia and its affiliate businesses, ScaleYOU coaching and LeanMail, as well as teaching at IESE Business School in Barcelona. Everything he does has the singular aim of helping others perform at their full potential.
Snapshots of success stories:
More than half of Michael’s client list has been working with him on a weekly basis for over seven years. Two of his clients are top executives reporting to the CEO of Fortune 100 companies. Michael has facilitated an American CEO in turning around a large law firm that was over USD 1m in debt to achieving over USD 1.4m in profits in less than four years. Three years later their profitability had tripled.
He has helped transform a small oil company that was a one-man band for many years into a company of six employees with 300% higher turnover in less than two years. An IT services company whose CEO Michael coached for six years has doubled the number of employees and more than doubled their turnover from USD 2.2m to over USD 5m.

Team Coaching
It’s about working with an intact team that may be functional or dysfunctional. It’s important that all team members and the team leader are involved. The coaching is more about the communication (how the team members and the team leader engage with each other) and effectiveness (how the team member and its leader gets results) of the team.
