The leadership training focussed on individual’s values and how these play out in a team and leadership context. The session was exceptional in that it really helped us to understand eachother and how we work together and why we make the decisions we do. Understanding each other’s values brings a new context to discussions, the why are people responding in the way they are, can be reframed from annoyance to respectful discussion. I would strongly recommend this coaching.

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.

Anastasia Magriplis
I really enjoyed this training and found it useful in learning more ways to be my best in a leadership team setting. Michael’s approach helped me to notice some of my blind spots and build my resilience and areas of focus. I recommend this training to any leadership team that is looking at building their effectiveness and cohesion.

Michael has been my professional coach for several years, supporting me across multiple roles. Most recently, he coached me through a senior leadership position where I successfully delivered a large national enterprise change project on time and under budget. Michael was a key pillar in helping me perform at my peak, despite high demands, a tight timeline, a team of over 65 staff, and numerous challenges. I couldn’t have done it without him, and I look forward to working with him again at the next opportunity.

Throughout the Developing leaders I found I gained confidence with myself as a leader and as a person. There were a few eye opening moments and places I found I needed to work on.

The most beneficial model for me was his initial Velocity Leadership Checkpoint. I’ve done a few of these before, but this was by FAR the most accurate and insightful. It gave both me and my team a clear understanding of our strengths and the areas we need to focus on. More importantly, Michael’s check-in helped me gain a deeper understanding of my own leadership capabilities—where I excel and where I have room to grow. It also provided valuable insight into the leadership levels within my team, allowing me to recognise their strengths, identify areas for development, and ultimately support them in a way that meets their individual needs. This level of awareness has been a game-changer in how I approach leadership and team development.

Michael is humble, genuine, and deeply invested in his students’ growth. His mentorship has been invaluable, and I’m looking forward to taking more courses with him in the future. If you’re looking for a coach who will challenge, inspire, and support you, I highly recommend him!
Jenna Cosgrove
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!
Mark Stephensen
Worked with Michael at Developing Leaders over the past 12 months and would recommend. Provided some fantastic and practical tools for managing team and developing my own skill set in leadership and personal development. Highly recommend thanks Michael

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.

Michael’s approach to leadership development is unique to all others ensuring that his content & techniques have genuine cut through and enduring behavioural influence on leaders for such a mission critical challenge facing all organisations.
Christina Benson
Michael led a leadership and culture program within my organisation. He was very relatable and effective with our group of leaders, who were each from diverse backgrounds and professions. Michael’s facilitation style unified the group and broke down any actual or perceived barriers. Personally, Michael gave me the confidence to share my vulnerabilities and learn and grow from them. He taught me to share my stories with people to enable a genuine learning experience. I would highly recommend Michael to any organisation who is looking to create a culture of integrity, accountability and transparency.
James Ryall
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.
Billy Sullivan
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.
Francesca MacPherson
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.
