Executive Coaching
“Michael's life and career experience gives tangible context to her coaching, giving reassurance that she is always one step ahead - in the best possible way. You can feel her compassion and empathy for you and your goals, while knowing she is always professional and fair. Simply put, Michael became my ally. Michael will rarely lay the “answers" out in black and white, instead she will guide you down the path that feels right for you, so that you can build your own confidence and skills along the way. I recommend Michael’s coaching for any mid or senior level professional looking to clarify and build greater fulfillment in their careers.”
LAURA BEST
Business Consulting and Coaching
"I've had the honor to sit on both sides of the table with Michael Kithcart. Early in my career she was a colleague and mentor, providing me the knowledge and guidance that has shaped me into the professional I am today. And now, she plays an important role with my team and partners coaching and leading think tanks internally and with Media Bridge’s valued clients. Michael has mastered the art of listening and understanding her clients and the people around her. Her unique ability to create space for each personality show up in their own way, then bring it all together to make a team stronger is something that sets Michael apart for other coaches and thought leaders. She creates a safe environment to learn from one another and learn more about yourself. Team building with Michael will be professional, energetic, thought provoking and will generate new ideas and ways to work together better."
Tracy Call
Executive Coaching
“Michael was a great personality fit for me. She struck a balance of listening and reflecting back with providing advice and guidance. We problem-solved together and practiced in the moment with feedback, which helped me build my skills. She asked good questions and there was wonderful collaboration along with coaching insight.”
SARAH DUNIWAY
Business Consulting and Coaching
“I will always think of you as one of the people who helped me make my dream — Vino In The Valley come to life. Not only did our little idea come to life thanks to your help, it now is thriving! In our 13th season we are well on pace to serve over 30,000 guests in about 85 nights! Located in a lovely valley along the rush river in the middle of nowhere… we will take that!”
LARRY BRENNER
Business Consulting and Coaching
“You provide a confidential, non-judgmental place to share business challenges and obstacles. You alleviate the pain of replaying situations in my mind, second-guessing what’s really going on or if the right decision was made, and you help remove the repetitive thoughts. The outcome of the work we do together — makes me a stronger leader, a better communicator, and focused on what’s important to the growth of the business.”
PAULA BEADLE
Executive Coaching and Strategy Consulting
“I worked with Michael as an executive coach in 2014-2015 when I was the director of a nonprofit focused on rural development in Africa. Our sessions provided much needed clarity on strategy and direction, both for the growing organization and my personal and career development. Through Michael’s insightful questions and direct feedback, I gained critical insight into how to find alignment between the board, staff and other stakeholders for a three year strategic plan.”
DEBORAH GREEBON
Former Executive Director, First Step Initiative
Executive Coaching
“I thoroughly enjoyed working with Michael — she has provided me with great coaching! As we worked through a problem I was facing, she would challenge me to consider other possible explanations underpinning the team dynamics. When I tried to come up with additional ways to tackle the problem, she would always ask provocative questions that unlocked whole new ways that I might address the issue. And finally, she was unwavering in her support, encouraging me to recognize that while we can choose how to engage in solving an issue, we cannot control all the outcomes.”
