Bio
Richard Buckley
I highly recommend Mike as an executive coach. I have known him for 25 years and have seen his heart for living out both business and ministry with great passion and excellence. When we served together in a church environment, I trusted him to take our outreach ministry to new levels and he rose to the occasion. From a business perspective, I have seen him cast vision and create very strong teams while also growing revenue year after year. His vast experience will benefit anyone looking to grow their business as a mission!

The first coffee we had together, Mike offered a nugget of wisdom for a problem that had plagued me for years. It was a moment where, "I've heard the right answer, and I know it!". What a difference that has made, but the story doesn't end there... Under Mike's leadership, God has blessed beyond my imagination this past year. Spiritual growth, business opportunities, personal growth, relationships - you name it, there's not an area of my life that hasn't been influenced in a positive way. Truth is that God has been present and used many tools to do these things, and Mike has been instrumental in this process. I'm blessed to know him and call him "friend".
