Our clients

Michael has over 3,000 hours of coaching experience with close to 300 individual clients in over 40 organisations. His coaching clients generally are in the higher education and public sectors, or in non-government or private sector organisations which have strong business relationships with higher education or public sector partners. See below for details of his work in each of these sectors.

These clients span a range of stages in their career and leadership journeys. They include:
  • specialists or experts who are moving into roles with a new focus on leading more professionally diverse teams with more complex accountabilities
  • established managers who are developing their leadership and influencing capabilities both within their teams and with their senior colleagues
  • senior leaders who are increasingly accountable for the delegated business outcomes of their areas and for the performance of team managers within their areas.
Some clients lead innovative teams which depend on nurturing and supporting the individual initiative of team members while maintaining shared focus on project outcomes. Others have significant roles in complex business operations spanning major projects, service delivery, policy development and advocacy. All operate within tight budgets and time lines. They have internal and external accountability to a range of stakeholders, while at the same time maintaining ongoing business performance, implementing strategic initiatives and undergoing major change.

Nearly all Michael's clients work on professional and workplace issues in concert with their development of self-awareness, self-confidence and emotional intelligence. This duel focus reflects the importance of "walking on two legs" to achieve effective leadership.

Michael has also worked with several government agencies and non-government organisations in management board, consulting, and research partnership roles, with a general focus on strategy, policy development and implementing change.
