Sixteen years ago, I returned to school to reinvent myself for the third time, changing from professional actor to headhunter and finally to career and life coach, studying at iPEC – Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching. A fantastic education that enabled me to open my own coaching business, equipped with a vast array of highly valuable coaching skills.

Early in my studies, I discovered Susan Scott and her inspiring and life-enhancing books: “Fierce Conversations” and “Fierce Leadership.”

I have used them for years to benefit my life and the lives of the people I am privileged to coach.

Susan Scott honors me with a gorgeous and meaningful endorsement for my new book, The Next Act – A Complete Guide to Career Change, Professional Reinvention, and Finding Work That Matters.

It is a dream come true to be connected to her and have her caring words support my work and appear in my book. She is a brilliant, generous, and kind human being who gives me tremendous inspiration and impetus in life, helping others to be all they dream of and deserve. Here is her endorsement:

“The good news and the bad news is the same news. We are living longer now. It’s good news if you have a job you love and friends, family and a sweet dog by your side. It’s bad news if you are stuck in a job you no longer love (or never did), recognize that you’re in the fourth quarter of your life and nothing calls to you. You are no longer a participant. You are a spectator trapped in a familiar cycle of unproductive thoughts with no idea where you’re going.

This is where Michael Feeley comes in with this fantastic, much needed book, which will actually be helpful to anyone at any age. The writing is gorgeous, the questions are provocative and the result is clarity about what you want, why you want it and how to get it, including how to create a job out of thin air. This book has smarts plus heart. I loved it.”
