About Me
Born in 1974 and raised in Southern California, I was a successful and accomplished C-Level Fortune 200 businessperson and board member in the Technology sector living in Manhattan.
As an expert Success Coach and Happiness Trainer, I am dedicated to helping my clients cultivate mental habits that foster resilience, happiness, and, ultimately, a deep sense of satisfaction with their achievements. My offerings include transformative personal coaching, professional development, leadership success advising, counseling, and practical mentoring and guidance.
Like those who seek out personal fitness trainers or professional golf pros to help them step up their game, the skills and benefits that I offer are in working with professionals who are looking to level up by overcoming the negative thoughts, unwanted habits, and harmful behaviours that get in the way and have been holding them back from the level of personal success and happiness that they work so hard to experience.
Much of what I do is cognitive behavioural coaching, which is a discussion-based coaching framework focused on leveraging the neuroplasticity of your brain; understanding and restructuring how your thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes affect your feelings, perspectives, and actions. Together, we will help you develop actual skills and strengths to finally master and overcome those hindrances that hold you back.
In that capacity, we will work together to:
- Understand what happiness is and how to develop the views, practices, and skills that enhance and develop your ability to call upon it at will;
- Identify the hidden root causes of your tension, which fuels the steady and unshakeable undercurrent of discontentment that you feel;
- Learn practical techniques to overcome the problems and challenges that bar you from the general sense of peace which already exists within you;
- Explore ways to more deeply infuse self-compassion into your day-to-day life and into your interactions with others.

Michael is an outstanding coach. I am not the easiest person in the world to coach, that's for sure. In spite of that he manages to strike a surprising balance between motivation and challenge, pushing me to do my best without being overly lenient or overly firm. He clearly communicates his expectations and provides the tools I need to not only meet them but with his guidance surpass them. I am happier as a result, my friends and wife have confirmed as much! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a coach that focuses on connecting with happiness and a sense of fulfillment who does this by combining encouragement with a direct approach.

He has helped me zero in on what I need to enhance the feeling of reward and happiness in my life and has given me tools to create that life for myself. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to make a genuine change, especially if you are feeling stuck.

Michael has been an incredible coach. From the very start, hes been there for me through some of the most pivotal decisions in my life. His support has been steady and reliable, giving me the confidence I needed to make tough choices. What stands out most is how Michael has helped me get a clear picture of what I truly want in life. Hes not just about giving advice; hes all about helping me find my own path. Hes provided me with practical tools and strategies that have made a real difference in how I approach my goals. Michaels approach is both insightful and personal. He listens carefully and tailors his guidance to fit my unique situation. This has been incredibly empowering, especially when I felt stuck and unsure of how to move forward. I highly recommend working with Michael.

Yesterday Michael asked me if I could provide a review to help people find him, and I am delighted to do so! Working with him has been a true pleasure. He has a deep understanding of what it takes to find happiness in our often stressful world. Michael is not only intelligent and insightful but also wonderfully compassionate. His guidance for my work, relationships, marriage, and all around life has profoundly transformed how I approach both problems and solutions in my life. His ability to help me brainstorm creative approaches has been invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking coaching.

Michael Turner is a positive and hard-hitting dharma teacher and personal coach who gives direct feedback which allows me to perceive situations more clearly and find solutions. Originally, I went to Michael because I was wrestling with some complex buddhist subjects such as "emptiness" and "rebirth," but I was also approaching the start of a new phase in my life: retirement. I wanted to discuss my questions and alleviate some of the uncertainties I felt facing this new phase. However, I was still in the job market and after a day of work, I was experiencing a lot of fatigue and stress. So that became the focus of our first session and he offered techniques to help me appreciate the transition from work mode to relaxation mode. This allowed me to see how often I press myself mentally and physically instead of being present in the moment. There were several issues that we tackled together, and I gained many new perspectives during our sessions. Michael is very creative and open and I feel comfortable discussing any subject with him. The topics that involved adjusting my energy level to engage in a project effectively are not usually the domain of a dharma trainer, but Michael understood these challenges and a wide range of many other topics and could provide useful tools for change. Following our most recent session together, something he said triggered a major breakthrough, when an old habit pattern that I was wearing like a shield finally came undone. It was a fairly esoteric but a very real and healing experience. The subjects discussed during my sessions had to be addressed before seriously considering achieving my retirement goals. I am in a much better position to accomplish these goals now thanks to Michael's insights. Also, I realize that even if we enter the buddhist process with certain preconceived expectations, the journey will still take place in accordance with what is really necessary at the time to help us achieve our goals concretely. Michael's intelligence and competence can certainly help you on your journey.

Working with Michael has been absolutely amazing! He totally gets me and helped me figure out what was holding me back from being truly happy: other people! haha. With his guidance, encouragement, and awesome expertise, I've found better ways to approach my interactions with other people, but also my interactions with myself, that inner narrative that stressed me out so much. I now have more joy, balance, and peace of mind in my life. If you're looking for a positive change, I can't recommend Michael enough! He's been a total life-saver for me!

Before working with Michael, I felt stuck in my career and wasn't quite sure how to take the next step. However, his advice and guidance have made an incredible impact on my life in more ways than I could have ever imagined. Michael's expertise in personal and professional development has truly been a game-changer for me. One of the most significant recent accomplishments I attribute to Michael's coaching is my promotion to Vice President and a $35,000 base salary raise. His insightful guidance helped me navigate the challenges and seize opportunities that eventually led to this career milestone. He has an uncanny ability to identify areas for improvement and offer practical advice on how to reach my full potential. Michael's coaching goes beyond just career advancement; he has also helped me achieve a happier and more rounded life by addressing my personal goals and aspirations and the things within myself that prevented me from realizing them. He is genuinely invested in my success and happiness, and his support has been invaluable in both my personal and professional growth. I cannot recommend Michael enough. He's worth every penny I have invested in his coaching services and then some. If you're looking for a life coach who can truly make a difference, Michael Turner is the one.
