Michael’s lifelong interest in leadership took him from running a community centre in Peckham, London into the corporate world where, in the 1980s, he was a director with the Programmes Group of Companies in the UK. After moving to the US in 1989, Michael joined KRW International in the mid-nineties as a senior partner. He spearheaded KRW, early pioneers of executive coaching and regarded at that time as the number one executive coaching firm in the US, to the point of acquisition by a public company. Subsequently Michael successfully led the Coaching Division of Mercer Delta Learning Centre, which ran leadership programmes for the top 100-500 executives in global corporations such as Time Warner and Novartis. In 2017 Michael moved back to the UK and now works as a principal consultant with PeopleSmart.fr
