COACHING & ADVISING REVIEWS
"Working with Michael has completely changed the game for me, both in my business and personal life. As the owner of a growing multi-location psychotherapy practice, I was feeling overwhelmed by the stress and worry that came with expanding my business and managing my teams while trying to keep everything in balance. Michael’s coaching has been a lifesaver, helping me tackle everything with a clearer mind and a sense of calm.
From the get-go, Michael really got where I was coming from. He has this amazing talent for cutting through the noise when it comes to complex issues and giving me straightforward advice that makes a real difference. Thanks to our work together, I’ve shaken off a lot of the anxieties that used to hold me back. Now, I tackle each day with a fresh outlook and more confidence. My thoughts are clearer, and I can lead my business and my team with a lot more self-assurance and focus. But Michael’s help hasn’t just made a difference at work. I’ve noticed that I’m more present and relaxed with my family, and my relationships with my husband and children are more friction-free and rewarding than ever! I’m really able to enjoy my downtime and approach my work with more joy and purpose. I now look ahead with excitement instead of anxiety, and planning my business growth feels freeing and totally doable! What I appreciate the most about Michael is his consistent combination of empathetic kindness and straightforward advice, which makes our sessions not only effective but genuinely uplifting. I’m really grateful for everything he’s helped me achieve, and I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a coach who can help them spark real, positive, and lasting change." - Dr. A. Wang, ClinPsyD, Yoga Instructor & Private Practice Entrepreneur

"I began my journey with Michael some time ago, and I can confidently say that the experience has been absolutely amazing. In both my personal and professional life, Michael has been a guiding force, providing the inspiration and clarity I needed to move forward and excel.
As a start-up entrepreneur and software developer, I often face challenges and obstacles in my career. Michael has consistently been my anchor during tough times, helping me navigate complex situations with his expert guidance and unwavering support. While he is kind, compassionate, and soft, he is very direct when he needs to be in order to help me get over the things that block me. Getting pushed when I need to be pushed has been so powerful and I appreciate that about him so much. He also has an uncanny ability to understand my needs and offer specific advice, which has made such an impact on my personal growth. Throughout our time together, Michael has encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone, take discussed and calculated risks, and pursue my aspirations with confidence.

However, his advice and guidance have made an incredible impact on my life in more ways than I could have ever imagined. Michael's expertise in personal and professional development has truly been a game-changer for me.
One of the most significant recent accomplishments I attribute to Michael's coaching is my promotion to Vice President and a $35,000 base salary raise. His insightful guidance helped me navigate the challenges and seize opportunities that eventually led to this career milestone. He has an uncanny ability to identify areas for improvement and offer practical advice on how to reach my full potential. Michael's coaching goes beyond just career advancement; he has also helped me achieve a happier and more rounded life by addressing my personal goals and aspirations and the things within myself that prevented me from realizing them. He comes across as genuinely invested in my success and happiness, and his support has been invaluable in both my personal and professional growth. I cannot recommend Michael enough. He's worth every penny I have invested in his coaching services and then some.

"Working with Michael has been absolutely amazing! He totally gets me and helped me figure out what was holding me back from being truly happy: other people! haha. With his guidance, encouragement, and awesome expertise, I've found better ways to approach my interactions with other people, but also my interactions with myself, that inner narrative that stressed me out so much. I now have more joy, balance, and peace of mind in my life. If you're looking for a positive change, I can't recommend Michael enough! He's been a total life-saver for me!"

"Michael Turner is a positive and hard-hitting dharma teacher and personal coach who gives direct feedback which allows me to perceive situations more clearly and find solutions.
Originally, I went to Michael because I was approaching the start of a new phase in my life: retirement. I wanted to discuss my questions and alleviate some of the uncertainties I felt facing this new phase. However, I was still in the job market and after a day of work, I was experiencing a lot of fatigue and stress. So that became the focus of our first session and he offered techniques to help me appreciate the transition from work mode to relaxation mode. This allowed me to see how often I press myself mentally and physically instead of being present in the moment. There were several issues that we tackled together, and I gained many new perspectives during our sessions. Michael is very creative and open and I feel comfortable discussing any subject with him. The topics that involved adjusting my energy level to engage in a project effectively are not usually the domain of a dharma trainer, but Michael understood these challenges and a wide range of many other topics and could provide useful tools for change. Following our most recent session together, something he said triggered a major breakthrough, when an old habit pattern that I was wearing like a shield finally came undone. It was a fairly esoteric but a very real and healing experience. The subjects discussed during my sessions had to be addressed before seriously considering achieving my retirement goals. I am in a much better position to accomplish these goals now thanks to Michael's insights. Also, I realized that even if we enter this process with certain preconceived expectations, the journey will still take place in accordance with what is really necessary at the time to help us achieve our goals concretely. Michael's intelligence and competence can certainly help you on your journey.'' - Catherine Howell, University Professor (Retired)
