To change your results, you need to change your vibration

About Me

I’ve been studying self development since the year 2000. I transformed from being reluctant and directionless, to being committed and purpose driven. The roles I now play are as business owner, men’s group leader, husband, father and coach. And at night you can find me as a storyteller to my kids.

I started my coaching career in 2022 to incorporate my business skills with my vast personal development experience. The combination of the two results in a style that works on the spiritual, emotional, mental and practical aspects of your life.

This work is my passion and I am so happy and grateful to share it with others.

“It’s been a pleasure to work with Michael. I like that he has experience in business and has faced many challenges that I am facing now. He is a very good listener and has the capacity to recognize and address important pieces of the issues that are being looked into. I can feel his sincere care and wish for my growth. Also, his friendliness and support means a lot to me.

About Working With Me

I will listen. I’ve struggled with emotional highs and lows, even though I had a stable home life and loving parents. I understand if you have gremlins that slow your growth and enjoyment in life. We all have them.

I will cheerlead you. I will help you to witness the fear and move beyond it. Together we will build on your strengths and grow abilities you never knew existed. Your wins excite me and I want to see more.

I will hold you accountable. We will get clear on big, exciting goals and work towards them. Having accountability with a mentor and group members makes the difference to keeping you on track. And, it’s far more fun!

You can work one-on-one with me or in a group. In most cases I suggest the group format to start. Being vulnerable in groups can be challenging. And it can help us see that everyone has the same struggles. You will be inspired by your peers’ wins and help them overcome their challenges. Tight, lasting bonds can be formed in the groups.

One client described my facilitation style as “collaborative”. I do my own work alongside you, which models the process. Everyone is encouraged to speak and lead.

I love working with Michael. His positivity, energy, practical tools, and community have helped me persist in working toward my dreams even in the face of multiple obstacles. His tools have helped me get clear on exactly what I am hoping for—and now I’m amazed at how often an event or meeting goes exactly as I had imagined!

Highlights Of My Experience

In 2000 I joined a self healing community. I lived in house groups and attended Men’s and Mixed sacred circles, learning and exploring spiritual, mental, emotional, physical and social health. As of 2024, I have almost 5000+ hours participating in individual and group counseling sessions.
In 2003 I allowed myself to be corralled into a professional role selling wood flooring. In 2006, my business partner and I took over the business and started NADURRA Wood Corporation. There I learned the craft of selling, the tight-rope walk of managing a sales force and the juggling act of owning a business.
In 2016 I co-founded a Men’s Group and as of 2024 have 800+ hours of leading and co-leading this weekly meeting.
In 2020 I started studying Thinking Into Results^™ with the Proctor Gallagher Institute (proctorgallagherinstitute.com). This course launched me into coaching. I was finally able to turn around persistent behaviours that hampered my real joy and success.
In 2022 I opened my coaching business seeing clients one-on-one and running the the weekly 6am group Launch Your Dreams.

More Testimonials

Michael is attentive, caring, and constantly improving his own skill set. He helped me consider my own situation, build a vision for my future that felt challenging and exciting, and then worked with me to dissolve and overcome the obstacles – both inner and outer – that came up along the way. He’s a great resource and I’m glad to have him in my corner.

Under Michael’s leadership and facilitation I have grown my 20 year-old brain child Dialexicon from a dream into reality. Nineteen of my 21 videos have been posted since we started working together less than two years ago, all 31 podcast episodes have been made real because of the accountability, strategies and structures from Launch Your Dreams and then Live Your Dreams. Not only is Michael a heart-led and humble leader, he is continually working on himself in every area of life. We are invited into trust and collaboration through his vulnerability and willingness to cede the floor to others’ wisdom and insights. What we gain in our weekly group feels like it’s “really ours”—wherever we’re led to bring about our Dreams. Thank you Michael!!
