Looking back at my career and the careers of those that I admire, one throughput has been clear - it's not just WHAT you know, but WHO you know that can move you and your career forward in life. Whether you are an introvert or an extrovert, there are many ways one can build the skill of networking today to set up their careers for tomorrow. By working with me as your coach, we can talk through your career goals, how networking can help advance them, and build a strategy and plan for which to execute.

I've helped 1000s of high school, undergraduate and graduate students with career exploration. Additionally, I have helped various students and young professionals on my teams create professional development plans, gain leadership skills, foster writing skills, and more.

Experienced consultant and people manager with a passion for asking empowering questions, disrupting constraining norms around staying quiet, and helping people navigate transitions. I work as a Career Development and Executive Functioning coach with young people, helping them cultivate adaptive skills for transitions and executive functioning capacities using research-backed strategies. My curriculum addresses both the behavioral changes (e.g., building new habits) and the mindset shifts needed to advance learners’ outcomes and orientations towards transitions, work, and learning. My curriculum teaches both the theory behind improving and ways to practice improving 1) memory and attention, 2) motivation, 3) organization and project management, 4) identifying change goals, and 5) designing progress plans for change. We will explore interconnected personal and professional development challenges. My approach incorporates established frameworks of human development, including Adaptive Leadership (Dr. Ronald Heifetz, Harvard Kennedy School), Immunity to Change (Drs. Bob Kegan & Lisa Lahey, Harvard University), and Ethics of Care (Dr. Carol Gilligan, Harvard University/NYU). My prior experience includes people and project management in consulting, research, quantitative analysis and modeling, political work, and nonprofit consulting.

Welcome! I’m Mike, a professional career coach here to help you navigate every stage of your professional journey. I know firsthand how overwhelming career decisions can feel, but you don’t have to go it alone. When I launched my own career, I faced intense competition while balancing academic excellence, securing scholarships, and leveraging my network to create meaningful opportunities. Along the way, I not only learned how to craft a compelling cover letter and resume but also how to pivot under pressure—a skill I instill in my clients as they navigate their own career challenges. Through my work in Trinity College admissions and recruiting at Boston Children's Hospital and Mass General Brigham, I gained firsthand insight into what makes candidates stand out—not just on paper, but in the minds of decision-makers. I also saw how non-traditional predictors of success—like adaptability, emotional intelligence, and storytelling—can be just as powerful as credentials in securing the right opportunities. As a seasoned mentor, I know what truly makes a candidate shine—whether in applications, interviews, or on the job. My coaching is structured, results-driven, and deeply personalized. Whether you’re a student exploring career paths, a recent graduate entering the job market, or a professional looking to transition roles, I’ll meet you where you are and help you take the next steps in your journey. By identifying your unique strengths and aspirations, we’ll craft a winning strategy that allows you to advance while maintaining balance and wellness. If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s build your career together—I’d love to help you succeed!
