Dr Jennifer Garvey Berger, CEO Cultivating Leadership, Author, Unlocking Leadership Mindtraps and Changing on the Job.
"Michael combines a brilliant mind and open and curious spirit with a full and loving heart (and perhaps a dash of mischief). There is the expression “well-rounded” to describe someone who is multidimensional, but well-rounded is not quite multi-dimensional enough to describe Michael. He engages at every level—with the facility of a deeply experienced consultant and business leader, with the sensitivity of a highly skilled therapist, and with the creativity of an artist. I feel expanded and also grounded by my conversations with him and lucky to have him among my treasured advisors.”
Amy Elizabeth Fox, CEO, Mobius Executive Leadership
"Michael is a seasoned advisor and a loving practitioner who has studied the path of the mature masculine, attuned relationship and the arc of healing earlier hurts. He can accompany his clients in intimate and profound processes of self-exploration, integration and expansion."
Zafer Achi, Partner at Cultivating Leadership, Ex-McKinsey Director
"Michael brings to life and to his clients an extraordinarily precious combination: hard-nosed, analytically grounded business acumen; playful embrace of uncertainty; and the caring touch of a practiced therapist. If I were given the chance to do it all over again, I would emulate his boundless curiosity, I would match his humble pursuit of learning, including on the spiritual path, and I would dream of seeing wisdom blossom so early in myself."
Paul Dunion, EdD, teacher, author - "My Days with Emma" and "Wisdom", modern mystic
"Rather than viewing psychological resistance as an impediment to human development, Michael Lierow sees it as an act of self-care. From such a perspective there is no need to struggle and fight with change. Transformation becomes an invitation leading to depth and meaning, ushered in by gentleness and acceptance."
