What Will We Work On?
Strategic Clarity – Through Mike’s coaching and training, you’ll gain a deep understanding of where your business is headed and how to align your strategies with your core values and identify your higher purpose vision. This clarity helps you make confident decisions that lead to long-term success, ensuring your business not only survives but thrives in an ever-changing market. You’ll learn how to create and implement a purposeful business plan that drives consistent results, giving you a clear vision for both immediate actions and future goals.
Sustainable Growth – Mike’s approach is designed to build a strong, resilient foundation for your business, one that is rooted in timeless monastic principles. By focusing on stability and strategic mindset, you’ll develop a sustainable growth model that is flexible enough to adapt to challenges yet strong enough to maintain steady progress over time. The strategies taught in coaching emphasize long-term success, helping you avoid short-term pitfalls and fostering growth that can withstand market volatility and business cycles.
Stronger Teams – One of the core tenets of Mike’s coaching and training is the development of community within your business. Instead of focusing solely on corporate culture, which can be transactional, Mike emphasizes the creation of genuine connections among your team members. By fostering a sense of shared purpose, respect, and collaboration, you’ll create an environment where employees are not just part of a team but feel deeply engaged and committed to the company’s mission. This leads to higher morale, greater productivity, and lower turnover.
Enhanced Leadership – As a leader, you will refine your strategic mindset and develop the kind of leadership that not only drives results but also nurtures the growth and potential of your team. Mike helps you become more self-aware, making decisions that are aligned with your values, faith, and purpose. This approach fosters leadership that is authentic, empathetic, and impactful—qualities that inspire your team to follow you, contribute their best work, and remain loyal to the vision you set.

Personal Fulfillment – Achieving success in business is deeply intertwined with personal fulfillment. Mike’s coaching guides you to connect your work with your faith and values, helping you find greater meaning in what you do. You’ll discover how to integrate the principles of stability, community, and hospitality into your day-to-day work, creating a more balanced life that honors both your professional goals and personal well-being. This sense of alignment brings deeper satisfaction, making your business journey not just a financial pursuit but a pathway to a more meaningful life.
Improved Decision-Making – With a foundation in ancient wisdom, Mike’s coaching equips you with tools for thoughtful, strategic decision-making. Whether it’s handling a crisis, navigating growth, or choosing the best direction for your business, you’ll learn to make decisions that reflect both your strategic objectives and your core values. By incorporating elements like the VIA Inventory, Gallup BP10, and the Business Planning Funnel, you’ll approach decisions with clarity, confidence, and a balanced perspective, ensuring they align with your long-term vision.
Increased Innovation – Excellence and innovation are key pillars of Mike’s coaching and training. By applying the principles of positive leadership, you’ll cultivate a culture that values creativity, embraces change, and focuses on creating value. Mike encourages a mindset of “positive deviance,” pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and seeking opportunities to transform challenges into new ways of doing business. This fosters a dynamic environment where innovative ideas are nurtured, tested, and implemented, leading to continuous improvement and business growth.
Lasting Impact – The ultimate benefit of Mike’s coaching is the creation of a lasting legacy. By blending ancient wisdom with modern strategy, you’ll be equipped to lead with authenticity and integrity, creating a business that serves a greater purpose. Your leadership will inspire others to follow, not just because of what you’ve accomplished, but because of how you’ve done it—with respect, humility, and a commitment to building something that lasts beyond profits. Through a focus on profound hospitality, excellence, and strategic thinking, you’ll leave a positive and enduring mark on your business, team, and community.
