I’m Michael Cooper
A trained Leadership & Career Coach with a very successful executive management background
Helping You Find & Forge Your Best Path
Leadership Coaching
Effective leadership is not the same as being in control. It’s less about skills and more about attributes. We earn the right to be called a leader by others. There are 5 key attributes to leadership. You must be able to see how you think and you act, across each attribute. Learn how your behavior affects others. Learning to lead effectively is a journey of personal development and the strengthening of your best attributes.
I help you discover them, and leverage them.
Career Transitioning
Do you want to increase your reward and market value? Are you plateauing in your career and need a strategy to take your next step, or wanting to accelerate your career trajectory? Are you unsure what roles you’re best suited for?
Sustained success comes only when you take what’s unique about you and figure out how to make it useful.
I work with senior leaders/Directors from the FTSE, to SME executives and entrepreneurs. I enhance the strategic positioning of your personal brand to unlock potential career options.
Career coaching discovers you, how you fit roles, and develops your personal brand, overhauling your CV and social profiles, and working with you to prepare you for application success. Our work together can also include helping you overcome confidence and communication barriers, including public speaking and interview training, team leadership, and more.
Business Coaching
With two start-ups and over 2 decades of C-Level leadership in Operations, Finance and Marketing with major brands, I bring deep expertise to business clients who need advice and help on branding, digital, finance, marketing, customer operations, talent search and people management.
Mentoring
Mentoring is different to coaching – here, I work alongside you to develop your performance and decisions with answers, advice and guidance. Our times together are flexible, driven by your needs and my support as and when you need it. It’s often a longer term relationship than structured coaching sessions.
Coaching
Coaching is about you. I won’t give you the answers or act the expert with you – although I may suggest options and ideas – as I help you discover how to make the journey yourself with my support as your guide, facilitator and collaborator.

Career Transitioning?
I work with you to:
- identify which are the primary roles that suit your work style and personality
- build your personal brand
- and only then, to rebuild your CV, social and other collateral to reflect this new understanding
- define a strategy for finding the types of opportunities that suit you
- prep you for the interviews
Do you want to improve your Leadership skills, Confidence, Communication and professionalism?
Successful managers excel at communication,
Research consistently shows mentored individuals to be more satisfied and committed to their professions than non-mentored individuals, often earning higher performance evaluations, higher salaries, and faster career progress than non-mentored individuals. You also benefit by feeling rejuvenated in your career development and choices, learning – for example, how to use new technologies or to deal with a toxic boss – and becoming aware of issues, methods, and perspectives that are important to your work.
The Mentor/Mentee relationship can last longer than in coaching, sometimes continuing as an impromptu, spontaneous relationship over extended periods.
