Backed by 25+ years of executive experience, Extensive education, and rigorous certifications. rooted in neuroscience. Proven results.
Hi, I’m Michael, founder of Inside-Out™ Transformation and inventor of the LION 3-D Experience.
My passion is to make the world a better place by equipping mission-driven executives to become the kinds of leaders who achieve breakthrough results by demonstrating authentic care for their people.
It seems most executives don’t believe it’s even possible to do both. However, I’ve spent my entire career proving that HOW leaders lead makes even more impact than WHAT they do.
The neuroscience-based, transformational coaching I’ve developed over the past 25 years enables mission-driven leaders to become the most effective and authentically caring version of themselves who deliver breakthrough results through fulfilled, engaged, and high-performance teams.
I’ve leveraged this Inside-Out™ process with hundreds of executives who progressively transformed themselves as well as their organizations, including senior leaders from JP Morgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and many more.
I’m thrilled to offer Inside-Out™ transformation because it creates lasting, authentic change within leaders and their organizations, fostering enjoyable workplaces that inevitably also become more effective and efficient.
This is how I change the world and the workplace for good.

This tool was invented to go wider and deeper. It is a “3-D” experience because it measures 20 key character and competency capabilities, each from three discrete perspectives, in alignment with the “3 E’s” of the
Inside-Out™ transformation model:
Effectiveness: How capable are you of doing it?
Efficiency: How much effort is required to do it?
Enjoyment: How do you feel about doing it?
Measuring all three dimensions uncovers a wide range of incremental insights for self-realization and authentic transformation.

The science behind the LION 3-D Experience
Self-awareness and authentic interpersonal skills are the foundations needed to transform into the authentic leader you want to be. They are also the strongest predictors of executive leadership success. The LION Experience increases your self-awareness in three dimensions across twenty core capabilities. These insights equip you to transform from the Inside-Out™ to become the kind of leader you’ve always wanted to be.
THE SURPRISING IMPACT OF SELF-AWARENESS
According to this study from Cornell University, self-awareness is the strongest predictor of executives’ success.
*The study explored the leadership styles, backgrounds, and track records of 72 senior executives across 31 companies (half of them with C-level or President titles) at public, venture-backed, and private-equity sponsored companies. The researchers found that harsh, hard-driving, “results-at-all-costs” executives actually diminish the bottom line, while self-aware leaders with strong interpersonal skills deliver better financial performance” (via American Management Association).
HOW SELF-AWARE ARE YOU… REALLY?
While most of us think we are self-aware, this Harvard study reveals only 10-15% of people actually demonstrate self-awareness.
By taking the first step with the LION Experience, you’re already setting yourself apart from your competitors.
