If not now, when?

Hmm, Tell me more

Feeling stuck? You're not alone, pal.

Maybe it’s time to awaken to love and trust. Easier said than done. Let’s start by trusting your stuck-ness. What if you appreciated the part of you that doesn’t want to change? The part of you that wants to be safe, secure, and in control in a big, scary world.

Change can seem scary, annoying, costly and sad. 

Let’s not hurry. Whether it’s about your professional goals, leadership, relationships or a specific creative project, we want to bring all your energy into alignment and get clear on the next steps at your pace.

First question. Are you actually willing to have what you want, without conditions or excuses? Starting right now? Maybe not. Great. You’re right where you should be. let’s play.

  • Feel your feelings. Like really feel them

  • Make shit! Road maps, creative constellations of ideas, dream dumps, all that coaching stuff

  • Integrate practical tools for lasting change (coaching isn’t forever)

How coaching helped others

    About MBN

    My name is Michael, but I love my initials, MBN. I’m a queer person, use he/him pronouns and live in London.

    I’ve dedicated life to creativity, awareness and learning. As a certified Enneagram and Conscious Leadership coach, I work with creatives and artists with a wide range of experience, using somatic, vocal, improvisational, and consciousness tools. I like to balance the funny with the deep as we take a compassionate look at your willingness to accept and transform. I particularly love to focus on money, scarcity, community, power, origin, anger and fear, and how they all impact the creative process. 

    Emerging from the gentle lands of the Midwest of the United States, I’ve spent the last 15 years performing, directing, producing, and coaching with renowned artists and creative organizations across Europe and America. I have first hand experience of the rises and falls of creative life, the precarity of gig existence, and the joy of being in creative flow. 

    I am a Certified Enneagram Teacher and Certified Enneagram Coach from The Narrative Enneagram, and a certified 15 Commitments Coach from the Conscious Leadership Group. I co-direct The Enneagram Group along with Debbie Burditt and am also a coach with The Conscious Leadership Group. I have a BA in acting from Emerson College and an MFA in performance research from The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. I live with his husband Alex in London where I regularly lose myself in my garden, a tiny plot of land packed with vegetables, flowers, an olive tree, and 2 pear trees.
