Yes I am a life coach. That is what I do. Simple title. But everyone still asks me what I do. They are curious to see the type of coach I am, or how I define my career.

Many of you have asked me to explain exactly what I do with my clients. Well there are tons of things I do with my clients based on the results they want to achieve. But here is how I explain what I do for a living:

I empower you to dream, then make goals, and then achieve your goals to make your dreams a reality.

My coaching model is simple – Dreams – Goals – Reality. Three simple steps.

 What types of dreams? Well that depends on you. It is your life. What do you want?

Now I do this through my writing, coaching sessions, through lifework to help my clients and fun activities for self discovery and motivation.

I want to hear about what you do for work. Not the title or job description. In your own words tell me what you do and how you make a difference.

First I want to thank everyone with your kind comments about my smile. I have been getting many questions from Ask Michael about this topic.

Do I smile all the time?Yes I do. Everyone has something that they are known for. I have always been known for my smile. I think it is part of my personality. I enjoy being silly and having fun. I love to laugh and I love to smile.

I learned a great lesson about smiling. When you smile it puts other people at ease. So when I walk into a room, the first thing I do is smile. It shows people I am welcoming and I am approachable. I think this is why TONS of people randomly talk to me about everything every where I go. I can be in line to buy chapstick at Walgreens and the woman in front of me will tell me all about her new boyfriend she just met. I like it. You never know who your next conversation will be with.

Was I born with this smile?I wish I was. When I was around 15 I wore clear braces for about a year. It helped to straighten out my teeth. I always smiled before but it was time to fix my crowded smile. I had my wisdom teeth removed along with 2 others. Braces were not easy but it was well worth the struggles throughout the year. It was so nice having them taken off. My teeth felt so smooth and I finally wasn’t spitting on people or having rubber-bands fly off my teeth in to their laps.

I found a picture from my 16th birthday and you can kind of see my clear braces:

Yes I know. I use to go by Mike and yes, I was once was that young and innocent. If you look you can even see an earring I wore like the guys from 90210.

Thank you again for all your kind words about my smile. I promise to keep smiling and I hope you do the same. Keep the questions coming, just go to Ask Michael to post your question.
