Today’s guest is someone who I think you are going to enjoy; I am excited to introduce you to Mike Green, MCC. In our conversation today, we talk about Mike’s adventure into Leadership Coaching, becoming an MCC, and how each coach has to discover how to let go of their baggage, such as the idea of adding value, to become the coach their clients need.

Mike Green’s story reads like something from a Hemingway or Kerouac novel. This guy hitchhiked from New York to Alaska just to prove a point. He believes that leaders are made in the wild. In all environments, no matter how extreme, there is a shared fundamental need: people who are brave enough to discover their leadership truth. Throughout his 30 years of working and traveling around 63 countries throughout all seven continents, he has documented over 11,000 hours of coaching along the way. His book “Wandermust, A Hero’s Journey To Seven Truths” chronicles some of his travels as well as how he coaches clients in the outdoors. Mike utilizes various methods, including dynamic workshops, virtual coaching, face-to-face coaching, and adventure coaching, to help uncover clients’ leadership truths. He earned the Master Certified Coach accreditation from the International Coaching Federation, which is the highest standard for coaching.

I hope you enjoy our conversation as we adventure into ideas around how we show up and give value, to stepping into having empathy and grace with ourselves as we develop as coaches. 

Mike works with Executives and Leaders, and we chat about how coaching benefits his clients as they explore how they may be very far out of alignment and congruence with themselves and the type of leader they want to be. Exploring their leadership truth ultimately melts into their life truth. 

You’ll never discover the truth about yourself behind a desk, but in the rugged wilderness of Alaska, on the breathtaking plains of the Serengeti, or in the stunning Gobi desert.

Extreme environments challenge us to become the best version of ourselves by drawing upon the courage within each of us to achieve new levels of performance.

His book Wandermust is available on Amazon. 

Thank you again, Mike, for coming into the Studio.

I hope you enjoy the show!
