“Having taken recently a global role I needed a coach to help me get over the first months and position myself successfully. Michael has helped me get to the bottom of a multitude of issues, starting from how to align to my values and purpose and increase effectiveness at work. I have been impressed with his ability of flexing with my situations and giving me exactly the type of support I needed, every time. I highly recommend Michael as an executive coach and I hope more people would be able to benefit of his great coaching skills.”
“As a VP of People and a Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) practitioner, it is important for me to work with an executive coach who can bring intersectionality into all of our sessions. Michael went above and beyond my expectations by incorporating concepts into his leadership coaching that addressed the intersections of being a black woman and disabled veteran, helping me to lead with skillfulness and authenticity in the Finance and Tech industries. Because he built a strong rapport with me, I trusted Michael to help me push beyond prior boundaries and expand my leadership impact. He has enabled me to be comfortable with being uncomfortable which accelerates my growth. Plus, all of his follow-ups with additional articles and content multiply the return on investment beyond our time together. I feel fortunate to have had Michael as a partner in my leadership journey!”
““I was overwhelmed in my first year of leading a team of over 100 people - it was chaotic and lacked high-level effectiveness. In my second year, my organization gave me an opportunity to work with Michael as my executive coach. I used my sessions with Michael to solve real problems I was facing as a senior manager. He also facilitated a 360-degree feedback assessment, which he used to help me understand how I was perceived and craft an action plan that led to transformation. I consider myself very fortunate to have worked with Michael during a critical phase in my growth as a leader and hope you have a similar opportunity!””
““Michael gave a great presentation on ‘Self-leadership and Happiness’ to my team via video conference. Engagement and happiness are topics that primarily come from inside oneself, but — in the day-to-day work — most people forget this, and end up relying on external stimulus to achieve work/private life fulfillment. We had only booked Michael for 1 hour, but he still managed to deliver many thought-invoking inputs, and identified several actionable quick wins that each individual member can take with them.””
““As a former hospital CEO and current president of a leadership training company, I had high expectations for my executive coach. Michael met and exceeded them. With his help I was able to significantly expand my company’s reach and revenue in alignment with my values of servant leadership. He’s an expert at helping fellow eagles to soar!” ”
“When you work with Michael you enter a space full of trust, understanding, and the potential for transformation. After some coaching sessions with Michael I did my first corporate training and I rocked it! If you really want it, you too can transform & soar!”
“If you’re looking to increase your effectiveness as a leader, I highly recommend Michael Seelman for executive coaching. In each session, Michael would listen attentively as I laid out a challenge or described an opportunity for improvement, and then together we would craft a solution that I could often put into practice the very next week. Whether the topic was producing high-quality results without slipping on the timeline, improving team morale, or even attending to personal health and self-care, Michael always had a knack for boiling issues down to their core and challenging me to identify and implement next steps and recurring habits to improve both my professional and my personal life.”
“I met Michael after starting a position at a high-growth startup. He has helped me to understand my role, my goals, and my opportunities in a complex environment in just a matter of months. Through his coaching, I have been able to approach challenges more thoughtfully, consider how decisions affect each of my team members, and develop goals for myself that have stuck with me throughout the entire process. Learning through inquiry with Michael has an effect that outlasts any management course or leadership book. I couldn’t be more grateful for my time with Michael. I look forward to working with him more!”
“I cannot summarize the life-changing impact that the talks with Michael have had on me in one testimony and still feel as though I have done them justice. Michael has opened my eyes to a world I haven’t known and has introduced me to a side of myself that I never knew existed. Michael has such a dynamic coaching style and the hour sessions felt like they could go on for days. The knowledge and coaching ability Michael has is second to none. Michael and Churchill Consultants came at such a crucial time in my life...I had such big mountains to climb and important decisions to make, but I am glad I had Michael as my climbing instructor and his constant reminders to “Be Brave” still sits with me today.”
“Michael facilitated a thought-provoking workshop for our company’s executive team, sharing his experience around “Leading like a Coach.” He practiced what he preached, helping us find our own answers by introducing new concepts and asking powerful questions. We all had our own ‘ah-ha moments’ and there were so many great takeaways from the session. We have started putting the techniques into practice and are all excited to continue developing as leaders as well as strengthening our connections with our teams.”
“Michael helped me better understand who I am and how to cope with big and little struggles in my personal and professional life. I appreciated the way he worked alongside of me to show me that I can move forward with hope and confidence as I strive for my greater self. What I liked most is that Michael listened to me with great attention - making me feel deeply understood and very welcome.”
