I have very much appreciated Michael Neuendorff’s teaching approach at the Center for Executive Coaching. Michael appreciates that the cohort is made up of seasoned professionals and manages to mentor and make content relevant and useful, even to students/clients who have a lot of experience themselves. Michael is an expert who is accessible in his communication style and people learn from his willingness to share his own experiences and past mistakes. He is invested in client success and is open to continuing to learn, a great quality he models. I recommend him highly across any of the coaching, teaching, training, presenting endeavors in which he would choose to be involved. Any client would be lucky to work with him
