Mike Marino is an Executive Coach and Consultant who works with individuals, teams and organizations that are committed to growth and excellence. Mike’s work in this area is based on two fundamental beliefs – that every individual has an innate desire to belong, contribute, and make a difference, and that everyone can be a successful leader if they have awareness of and leverage their unique gifts and talents.

Mike has demonstrated results across all types and sizes of organizations, from Fortune 100 to local non-profits, and has a proven track record of coaching executives and managers alike. He has coached CEO’s, COO’s, and General Managers from all industries, including energy, telecommunications, software, pharmaceutical, insurance, and federal government.

The awareness of one’s strengths, and how others may experience those in us, is critical to effective leadership. Each coaching and consulting engagement is customized to the priorities and objectives of the client, while leveraging Michael’s expertise in the areas of leadership, navigating conflict, organizational culture, team development and more.
