I'm Michael King, and I'm a Business Leadership Coach.

 

I graduated from North Central University with a degree in B.S. Humanities and Fine Arts. I have my M.S. in Leadership from Bellevue University as well as being a Certified Executive Coach.

 

I've had close to twenty years of hands-on experience, leading teams, and organizations. In the past five years, I've worked with a wide range of clients, from solo entrepreneurs to top company executives.

 

I have a unique ability to combine critical thinking and sense of humor which makes my style of coaching a lot more engaging, effective and digestible. I build systems, strategies, and structures necessary to navigate business growth and change.

 

I always say this:

"If God is in the dream, the devil's in the details."

  • You need someone that will help you develop simple and sustainable strategies and help you take a clear next step.

  • You need someone who will help you build a HEALTHY, FUN, COLLABORATIVE and TRUSTING team culture.

  • You need someone who will pull out the best in you and who believes in you. I KNOW you have what it takes and I WILL show you.

Clear VISION.

Clear STRATEGY.

I can help you with this!

 

T.E.A.M.S. Methodology:

 

Targets - clear and actionable goals and KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators)

Engagement - universal participation and aligned healthy culture

Action - repeatable and sustainable systems and processes

Jennifer Gruber

Director of Sales and Digital Marketing

We used Michael to do some work for us after we purchased the  salon I’ve been working at for the past 8 years. During our annual leadership summit, Michael spoke about moving on from the past and focusing on the future.

Our staff was extremely thrilled with his message and consistently asks to have him return for more coaching. During his visit,  Michael produced an amazing education piece for us to use on social media and local news stations. We can not wait to have another coaching session from one of the best I know.

Every business leader needs a coach to help them maintain their sanity and to maximize their own growth.  This is true even if you think you are the exception.  Take it from a former exception – after working with Michael, you’ll wonder why you didn’t much earlier.

CEO, President, Tech Firm

Michael has the unique ability to quickly look at the inner workings of an organization and assess strengths and weaknesses. He listens carefully to decision makers and offers insightful and effective solutions for moving the organization to higher levels of performance. At Flatland, Michael's coaching helped us significantly increase our digital reach and greatly enhance our leadership effectiveness.

Michael King has the unique ability to help people sift through all of the minutiae of decisions, processes and urgent needs to help focus on what issues are most important. I was appreciative of Michael’s ability to let us process the answers to our problems in our context without him giving the answers to us (that he could clearly see). Powerful questions led to simple and equally powerful answers.  He helped us create a timeline with concurrent steps to address and a plan that actually empowered team members to take action and ownership to implement change. I am grateful for both his vision to see where change could happen in our organization and the leadership to help our people discover the solutions to move us forward!

I have known Michael for the past 8+ years. We have met many times during that period as friends. We have also worked together online discussing various leadership topics. He considers me one of his mentors, but more importantly I consider him one of mine. Mr. King’s interaction with others can be characterized as prompt, professional, sincere and courteous. He has a genuine concern for the needs of others. His communication skills are excellent. He is able to identify and solve problems efficiently and effectively. He is honest, dependable and loyal. He is a team player. He is a leader. He is a coach and mentor extraordinaire.If you need a coach/mentor/teacher of leadership. Michael is one of the best I have met.

In the last year of having Michael King working with our team I can tell you God has gifted him in several ways, but especially in leadership development. The old saying is true, “Everything rises and falls on leadership”” and he is helping us to raise up leaders to take our organization to the next level. He has all of our staff developing leaders and developing teams! The focus on leadership development is central to his strategy. It is not just the staff, but also the people who are now helping us! 

Carl G

Lead Pastor

Mike has done an incredible job of coming in and helping our team. He has a rare gift and is able to help individuals and teams to unlock their greatest potential. We all know that things move forward on effective communication, good decisions, and follow-up actions. Mike has done an excellent job in helping our team not just know that but to live it out on a day-to-day basis. We have accomplished more in the last six months then we have the two years prior and it is a direct result of Mike working with us. I personally have grown as a leader in leaps and bounds by working with him. When Mike is working with someone he sees them as an individual and helps them personally take steps forward. My leadership tool box has been filled and I am seeing and doing things at a much higher level.
