“My professional coaching experience with Mike Kraft opened a door to my personal and professional life I always I hoped I would find.  I benefited from his style of providing real life, tangible feedback into who I am as a leader, but more importantly, who I am as a person.  He provides coaching in such a manner that allows the Leader to enhance their self-reflection and decision making capabilities almost instantaneously.  Coaching has been a valuable vehicle for self-reflection and, where necessary, redirection. Mike coached me to be deliberate and intentional in all that I do. Every day, I use something I learned from him in my personal and professional life.  He provides a service that allows you to unveil hidden potential and/or allows you to face some tough realities about who you are as a Leader and person.  He will not change you, but allow you to realize how you can change yourself…..then it is up to you.  I highly recommend Mike’s one on one coaching and group learning services."

"Coaching with Mike Kraft is designed to meet the individual needs of his clients.  What went well was that Mike let me identify what I needed to accomplish and then we designed a set of meetings to focus on these issues.  Of course other topics would arise as a result of this design, and we addressed them as we went along.  Given his individual focus, I identified issues that needed work and at the end of our sessions had a deep sense of accomplishment that things were moving in the right direction.

My experience with Mike was overwhelmingly positive.  He spent two sessions really teasing out the issues and getting to know me, which really set the stage for the next six months.  He is engaging and focused and yet open to allowing the sessions to carry us where they need to go. 

This was…a very powerful experience for me.  Two years later, I am still using the practical advice that Mike provided.  I actually find myself using the tools that I acquired from Mike in different ways than I was when we were first meeting.  The impact he has had on my work as an executive is definitely lasting.  

I would enthusiastically recommend him as a coach.  He approaches his sessions with a clear agenda but really builds in a human face to his work so that by the time you are finished you have accomplished something but you also are more confident in your approach that you take into the workplace."

"A few years ago, I participated in an executive leadership program that included coaching with Mike Kraft.  The work I’ve done with  Mike has enhanced my professional effectiveness immeasurably.  More importantly, it has helped me feel very fulfilled and focused in life.  The ultimate testament to Mike’s exceptional skill  and sincerity is that I continue to work with Mike two years after the program ended – despite having a very busy career."
