Executive Leadership Coaching Reviews

Highly recommend the Developing Leaders’s leadership program. This program helped me rediscover what I am passionate about and my tolerances. Michael has been very helpful and I was able to motivate myself in dealing with different challenges. I felt positive and was very keen to take challenges, open to more discussion then coming up with conclusions. Michael’s way of delivering was friendly and I was able to know myself more.

I had the privilege of working with Michael as my executive leadership coach during the first half of 2023, and I can confidently say that he has been a transformative force in my professional journey. Michael’s coaching style was personalised and tailored to my specific needs, encompassing a wide range of essential leadership skills, productivity enhancement, and addressing challenging behaviors. Through his guidance and expertise, I acquired a fresh perspective on leadership, enabling me to approach it with renewed passion and confidence. I highly recommend Michael to anyone seeking to enhance their leadership potential.

It was a great journey going through the Executive Leadership coaching with Michael. I was able to explore a lot of new ideas and look at situations from a new perspective. The most important lesson for me was “Don’t assume”. Differences arise because we assume rather than ask questions and Michael helped me recognise all the different ways we assume instead of getting curious and asking questions.

A brilliant and genuine coach with a passion to help and listen. Michael empowers thought leadership through unbiased perspective while ensuring a comfortable space to express and bounce ideas. I was very much looking forward to our sessions together, bouncing ideas and challenges.  I also really connected and enjoyed Michael’s distinctive approaches to visualising problems through aviation and his Air Force experience. I would highly recommend Michael to any executive/manager wanting to enhance their senses and build on their managerial career forward

After officially taking on the role of COO in our company with no prior professional experience in such a role, I knew I would need a hand getting up to speed if I was to do the best job I could. He’s an incredibly genuine person with a wealth of experience in the field that has really helped me find my feet in this role. Michael has also been instrumental in helping me reclaim my time which I’ve been able to use to make better decisions and return to a much healthier work life balance.

Michael not only helped me identify these areas, but more than that grounded and rooted me in my own values, strengths and purpose which has helped realign me with my own goals and direction. The tools Michael introduced to me were so simple and effective I can recall them daily allowing me to put them into practise instantly when I recognise the disruptive behaviours in myself, my team and others around me.  Would definitely recommend working with Michael if you are looking for a clear, compassionate and effective leadership coach.

Michael was a great coach. During the course of working together, he was flexible and personalised our sessions. Even when the going got hard, he helped me find solutions. I now have the tools to deal with some of the challenges I struggled with as a leader.

I admit I started on the path of coaching with a healthy dose of scepticism, which I suspect is not unlike many others before me. However, I happily confess this was misplaced. Working with Michael has been both a pleasurable and valuable experience. Michael was able to look through some of the symptoms and help me identify and start to address some of the causes of hurdles in my path to greater satisfaction in my work place.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael to others in search of a similar coaching experience and indeed I suggest most people I know would benefit from the experience of working with him.

Leadership coaching with Michael Peiniger has helped me more than I thought it would, I wasn’t sure what to expect but his coaching brought out the leader who was always in me, but perhaps was a little afraid. Michael has taught me to be assertive, organised and efficient, he also guided me to be more open with my team which sometimes means being vulnerable which is a strength I never recognised.

Michael is a fantastic coach. He’s very personable, open and approachable. He effectively engages participants and takes great care to tailor the program and his
approach to suit the students. He makes learning fun and enjoyable and helps foster a learning environment where everyone is encouraged to share their ideas, insights and experiences. What I appreciate the most is the way you skillfully hold a mirror to each of us so that we can better understand our strengths and weaknesses, develop our self awareness and awareness of others. Anyone engaged in coaching/training with Michael will get a lot of if it and will walk away not just a better leader/team member but also a better person.

I’ve trained with Michael as both part of group sessions within our company, and one-on-one executive coaching. It was time well spent. The coaching process was an enjoyable way to learn a better attitude and approach to work that resulted in lifting myself and the team, fostering a productive culture of ownership and accountability. We worked on, and I made gains in the following areas: managing tricky work relationships, developing good behaviors with respect to time management & planning, becoming aware of my own habits & self monitoring for what works/doesn’t, and big picture thinking. I now find myself more able to get the results I want from myself and others. Michael’s manner is personable without letting you ‘off the hook’; his feedback oftentimes insightful, he’s heavily invested in helping you find your way to achieve the outcomes you want.

In his Executive Coaching program Michael has operated as a wingman for me – helping me see things that I would otherwise miss, helping me see things on the horizon and helping me coach and develop my own team. Not only has Michael helped me develop professionally, he has also helped me create more time and space to spend with my young family. I cannot recommend Michael highly enough for anyone considering an executive coach.

I have recently worked with Michael for continuous training and mentoring to become a better leader. I learned a lot from Michael on dealing with my leadership challenges, how to start building a high performance team and in general find better ways to improve in my day to day business.

Michael was unbelievably helpful – not only for my day to day work interactions, his insights also help in my personal life. Admittedly I went in [to coaching] with some skepticism, but it wasn’t long before his way of explaining things gave me some real life helpful training that I reflect on and utilise daily.
I highly recommend!!

I’ve been receiving coaching from Michael for around a year now, and he’s completely changed the way I approach my interactions in the workplace. I’ve learnt so much about how to manage work relationships in an authentic and empathetic way, especially through workshopping potentially difficult conversations. He took so much time and care to really understand my background and where I was at, so that he could help me become a better version of myself. I can’t recommend Michael enough as an Executive Leadership Coach. If you’re looking for someone smart, empathetic, caring, funny, and knowledgeable to coach you, you’ve found your guy!

Coaching sessions with Michael were engaging and insightful, even fun. Michael’s knowledge and experience expands beyond leadership skills to cover new perspectives on habits and values that extends beyond the workplace and into the home. He sets a relaxed environment where curiosity and reflection are encouraged, allowing participants to guide the process if that it desired.

Michael has helped me immensely in dealing with difficult situations over the last 18 months. His coaching has given me confidence in myself to have the difficult conversations which have resulted in improved performance in myself and my team. One of Michaels strengths is his ability to adapt his coaching session to what is happening at the time rather than working to a script which has been appreciated. Michael is easy to talk to and keeps everything in confidence. I highly recommend Michael to anyone to wants to improve and work on their leadership and interpersonal skills.

At first I was a little reluctant to enroll in a leadership course. As I have continued to work with Michael I have definitely reaped the benefits of Michael’s coaching and ongoing support, especially in dealing with difficult situations. I would happily recommended Michael to anyone who is looking for a leadership coach.
