Getting To Know Me

"In every industry there are unsung heroes standing behind the curtain making it possible for others to shine." -Michael Bourland

Hello,

My name is Michael Bourland, and though my favorite aspect of coaching is focusing on the client and their goals and successes, it's important to give you a bit of history and insight on who I am and what experience I bring to the table.

I've spent over 30 years behind the curtain coaching and supporting individuals, teams, managers and leaders at some of the largest companies, organizations, universities and municipalities in the country. Throughout those years I was blessed to hold many positions and titles in a variety of industries, giving me the access and opportunity to help build the businesses, lives and dreams of hundreds of amazing clients. From service members and sales teams to CEO's, city managers, single moms and mixed families. My passion for helping others has been a guiding light in my life, regardless of my job title.

That passion also gave me a hunger to master the skills I needed to effectively coach others in areas such as business and communication, clarity, relationships, mindset and faith. For this reason, I've studied under dozens of mentors, and obtained numerous certifications in Strategic Intervention, Neurolinguistics Programming, Business, Life and Relationship Master Level Coaching, multiple healing modalities and a Bachelors Degree in Christian Ministry and Biblical Studies.

“Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.” -Judy Garland

The world has changed radically in the last couple of years and so have my priorities. For this reason, I'm tearing down the curtain and taking my place center stage.

I was gifted a set of Tony Robbins, Personal Power tapes from my sister when I was 19. Within a few months, I was working for two mortgage brokers and bought my first home 6 weeks after my 20th birthday. This experience proved to me that starting with mindset and the inner-game truly does deliver real-world results.

Life ran wild during these years with many wins, losses and lessons. I've held more than a dozen titles over the years, started six businesses of my own and consulted, advised and trained at over 300 companies, organization and municipalities. Regardless of my title, I focused on helping people on a personal level every day. Coaching simply became a way of life and a part of who I am.

I've always believed that each of us has a dream inside. For some it's a burning desire that would steel the breath from our lungs if we tried to suppress it, for other it's a dull ache that eventually get's categorized as a fairy tale or a pipe dream, only to return as we're nearing our last moments, presenting itself as our most painful regret.
It's my desire to help others see it for what it is; an opportunity to become something more, to experience something more and to create a ripple that lasts for generations.


"Allow the shared experience of you living your dream to inspire the hearts and minds of those who might otherwise choose to ignore their own dull ache within." - Michael Bourland

Reinventing myself Required That I Release the Real Me. Personally... and Professionally.

Client Testimonials

Michael, you are an absolute Blessing!

My husband rarely trusted anyone but he said you were something special, and he was right.
If it wasn't for your willingness to listen and your helping me through the loss when he passed away, as well as the emotional results of my stroke, I don't know what I would have done. You guided me through those dark times and into a new life. My sister and I both thank you more than words can say.
