Michael Stephens
Transformative Coaching
hello, you. let's talk?
Who am I?
Hello, I'm Michael. I spent over 10 years working for some of the world’s most respected British brands - including i-D Magazine, Vice Media, Liberty London, Ted Baker and Virgin Atlantic. After a series of life changing events, I diverted from this corporate career path to start my own business and private consultancy - predominantly working within the creative and lgbtq+ communities. I fundamentally create spaces that allow and encourage people to forge meaningful connection to their work, themselves and each other. I do this through my own coaching practice and services, orchestrating relevant conversations and partnerships, as well as through We Create Space, a global community-led Diversity & Inclusion consultancy.
“I create spaces that allow and encourage people to forge meaningful connections to their work, themselves and each other."
How could I help you?
I'm open to discussing any partnership that feels relevant and aligned with my skillset, values and mission. Through my coaching training and my personal experience, I am able to help clients become more aware of what's going on for them below the surface - exploring their inner world of beliefs, assumptions, values and expectations - in order to achieve their goal and essentially create greater possibilities for ways of being in life. Depending on my availability, I am able to collaborate either in-person or virtually.
"As we embark on instigating major change in our life it's so important that we create space to have these important discussions. Opening up and questioning our goals, challenges and feelings helps us more effectively navigate the journey we want to go on."
What could we talk about?
What we work on depends on you and what you’re looking for from a coaching relationship. Look at this as an opportunity to start or continue a conversation. Here are some of the questions you may currently be asking yourself:
-
Am I going in the right direction?
-
What is holding me back?
-
Could I be more impactful as a leader?
-
What do I need on this next stage of my journey?
-
How do I know if I’m accessing my full potential?
-
What changes do I need to make?
-
Am I being my most authentic self?
-

It's worth mentioning that I don't provide medical or psychological advice, but further support will be sign-posted or referred to as required.
“Self-awareness is so important. It's allowed me to overcome challenging periods of personal growth, expand on my creative capabilities and redefine my professional life. I now have the ambition to share that knowledge, passion and energy with others.”
