If you want to learn the right skills for successful dating, relationships (romantic, platonic, & alternative), and all kinds of networking, then look no further than me, Coach Mike Diretto.

"Who da fook is that guy?" I hear you ask.

Honestly, I'm just an ordinary person like you, who took the time to become extraordinary at a few specific skills. Not for fun, but because it was too painful to go on without them. What sets me apart, is my ability to explain what I've learned to other people in a way that gets them to replicate my results.

As of 2021, I've been at it for 10 years, and I'm an expert at getting people to take meaningful action on their goals, and connect with people easily and effectively. The focus is on direct, authentic communication, and avoiding drama and wasted time.

I help my students go from being afraid, intimidated, and frustrated to brave, self-assured, and satisfied by showing them how to overcome the fears that are holding them back.

But I didn't drop out of the womb like this, I started off like most of my students... I was frustrated with my life.

I graduated university in 2005, with a bachelors in philosophy. A philosophy degree is pretty much useless unless you want to become a lawyer, or a life coach. At the time I was neither. I had already bailed on going to law school and defaulted into a job as an IT guy.

I was unsatisfied with my life in a few ways. My biggest problem was that all my friends had moved away after school, and I didn't know how to meet and attract new people or make new friends. On top of that, I didn't realize I had limiting beliefs about my career, and even if I had, I wouldn't have known what to do about it. I was also in an unhappy marriage that took up most of my 20s (you can read about that here).

I had always been good at maintaining long-term relationships and following the mainstream life plan (i.e., do well in school, go to college, get a corporate job, get married, buy a house, have kids, then die). But my biggest fear came true when I was 28 and went through a divorce. This was a major wake-up call and made me more conscious of everything I'd been missing.

I realized I'd been leading a very passive life and hadn't even tried to truly chase after my REAL dreams. For example, I wanted to start my own business, but I didn't attempt it because the thought of not having a salary was too terrifying.

Now I was single for the first time in 8 years, almost 30 years old, and I still didn't know how to properly approach a woman to ask her out on a date! Up to now, I had simply accepted what life gave me, both personally and professionally, and that strategy was definitely NOT working.

So I made up my mind to do something about it! And you should too!
