YOUR COACH

Hi, I'm Mike.

I'm a professional coach interested in how people find direction, move through transitions, and build lives that reflect what matters to them.

I earned my Certified Professional Coach certification through iPEC in 2015. As an iPEC mentor coach from 2016 to 2020, I coached and mentored approximately 300 developing coaches through structured conversations and competency-based feedback.

My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. Life Operator brings together my interest in human development, practical action, and thoughtful human–AI collaboration. Your judgment and authorship stay at the center.
