Mike Kraft, PCC

As a coach, Mike Kraft brings a steadfast commitment to help his clients lead with courage and bring their best selves to the work that they do.  To do this, people first must notice the pivotal “sometimes moments” when how they show up impacts the effectiveness of their leadership and of the results they achieve.  This noticing provides clients with a clearer understanding of core beliefs that either enhance or limit the quality of their experiences.  With greater awareness comes more and better choices about behaviors that they might want to change.  To effect lasting change, Mike’s clients learn to leverage their strengths and minimize (limiting) beliefs that distract from optimal performance.

Since 2018, Mike has worked independently as a leadership coach. Previously, he served as an internal coach and a talent development manager/specialist for health insurance, hospitality, and outsourced HR organizations.  Mike’s clients are current and emerging leaders (managers, directors, C-Suite, and individual contributors) who see personal development as the path to greater fulfillment and professional success.

Mike prefers to work with individuals whose aim is to live lives of joy, connection, and contribution.  From an industry perspective, Mike focuses on hospitals, healthcare, and physicians.  He also has experience in consulting/professional services, construction, hospitality, energy, and oil and gas.
