A self-paced course that will teach you the building blocks of meaningful connection

Connecting with people is hard. No one taught us how to create, nurture, and sustain genuine relationships. This course breaks it down into three foundational life skills: Authenticity, Belonging, and Confidence. By the end, you will know how to connect with others and feel more self-assured doing so.

What people are saying about Michael

Reviews from previous clients and students

"At the crossroads of life"

Ash in England

At a point in time where you suddenly meet a different version of yourself, standing alone at the crossroads of life, unsure of yourself, and the direction, but sure of the destination, you hope that you’ll meet someone kind, knowledgeable, and wiser to show you the right checkpoints along the way. That person is Michael. When a chance comes your way for no real reason, then take that chance. It might change your life.

"Facilitated incredible change"

Michael in United States

Michael is an amazing coach who has facilitated incredible change for me. He's an incredible listener and has an innate ability to widen your perspective and help you transform your life - in ways that you want, and in ways you perhaps didn't even realize would benefit you.

"Zeroed in on what was holding me back"

T.J. in United States

Before I found Michael, I was stuck. I couldn’t identify what was holding me back and I didn’t know where to begin. Everyday just felt like I was just going through the motions. Michael saw things in me that I couldn’t see in myself. He very easily zeroed in on what was holding me back and told me what I needed to get unstuck.

"I can let my guard down"

Pietar in Germany

Talking to Michael each week has been the best thing that’s happened to me in awhile. Nobody likes to be vulnerable, but with Michael I can be me, express my feelings and let my guard down.

Connect with self. Connect with others.

FAQ

  • Do I need to do the modules in order?

    No. All modules are available to you as soon as you enrol. I recommend doing them in order, but you have the freedom to pick and choose as you please.

  • How long can I access the course content?

    You have access to all course content for an entire year from purchase. That means you can go back as many times as you want to review and deepen your understanding. One-time payment for 12 months of access.

  • How is the content delivered?

    There are 12 visual presentations that include me speaking and guiding you through the lesson. Each lesson includes 3 reflection questions for you. Each lesson is between 10 and 20 minutes long.

  • Is this only for gay men?

    I created this course for gay men, but the concepts covered here are universal: authenticity, belonging, and confidence. The examples I use are unique to the gay/bi/queer man's experience, but anyone is welcome to enrol.

  • What if I need 1-on-1 support?

    No problem. At the end of each module, you have an opportunity to schedule a 1-on-1 call so that we can review your progress and ensure you are moving through the lessons effectively. You can also use this time to ask any questions before moving into the next module.
