How I See My Job
As a courage and confidence coach, I see it as my job to push you out of your comfort zone. That means you shouldn't expect working with me or my coaches to be easy or pain free. We do our best to keep the process fun, but success in life and personal development often means doing difficult things - either by facing uncomfortable emotions and mental/physical obstacles, or by putting in enough of the right kind of effort to achieve your goals… even when you’d rather be doing anything else. There may be some moments where you do not like me, my advice, my assessment of things, or what I tell you to do. This is an expected part of the relationship (notice I said “moments” though - if you consistently dislike me, there’s probably something wrong!). Courage coaching will help you feel better about yourself overall, but it won’t always feel good moment-to-moment.
Then, as a life coach, I see it as my job to guide and encourage you on your specific personal journey towards the goals you’ve asked for my help with. I'd love for you to think of me as a friend (or even just a friendly shop owner) who cares about your well-being as a person, but that you also pay for his expertise; like I pay my friends to teach me jiu-jitsu or do my taxes. I prefer to work with my friends whenever possible because then we both benefit. I can be your coach, and consider you my friend after enough time and interaction, and the students who establish that relationship with me tend to be the same ones that interact with me the most often. But, it's completely optional! I am just making it clear that I can (and do) establish authentic relationships with my students just like any in-person teacher might… and just like any interpersonal situation, the best relationships often see the best results!

The Courage Community Mission Statement
The Courage Community offers a rapid and permanent increase in Social Freedom, conversation, and connection capabilities for people who have situational anxiety (such as worrying too much about what other people think).
The Courage Community Vision Statement
Over the next few years, we hope to grow The Courage Community to thousands of active members who are all working together to make the world a better place by embodying the core values of The Courage Community:
Everyone from coaches, to students, to employees should strive to encourage lifelong personal development (value of consistency), and facing fears (value of courage), even when it's hard (determination), so we can live our truest lives (authenticity), while seeking new knowledge and experiences (curiosity).
Coach Mike’s Personal Mission Statement
I endeavor to help others by giving people knowledge, experiences, and support that save them time, money, effort, or heartache; and lead to improved feelings of capability, self-confidence, social confidence, personal freedom, and deeper connections with the people and situations they care about.
In short, I teach people how to find the courage they need to build the lives they truly want to live.
