AVAALER

The start of a great Mastermind personal development session… Last week, I had the opportunity to meet Dean Graziosi, the guy who inspired me to leave my big corporate job and step into executive coaching. Spending time with a powerhouse group of entrepreneurs and learning from someone who coaches the best in the world was a game-changer. My biggest takeaway? Success isn’t just about strategy - it’s about mindset, taking action, and surrounding yourself with the right people. And as I continue to grow, my clients get to benefit from these powerful insights too. Excited for what’s ahead, Keep AVAALIN’! #AVAALER #mastermind #growthmindset #levelup

Just wrapped up an incredible Mastermind session here in Scottsdale, Arizona. ??? One thing this experience reminded me of? Growth never happens in your comfort zone. Surrounding yourself with experienced, driven people challenges your thinking, pushes your limits, and opens doors you didn’t even know existed. ?? If you’re serious about leveling up, you have to be willing to step into new spaces, learn from those ahead of you, and take bold action. ?? What’s one thing you could do this week to push yourself beyond your comfort zone? Let me know in the comments. If you're ready for more and want help, send me a message or in the comments.

Hi, I want to ask you something… Are you giving 100% to the things that matter most - your career, your family, your health? Or does it feel like you’re just trying to keep it all together? Here’s the truth: People don’t want 80% of you. Your team at work needs your leadership. Your family wants you 100% present. And deep down, you want to feel like your 100% best self too. That’s where coaching comes in. ?? A coach helps you see what’s holding you back. ?? They guide you to take action (even when it’s uncomfortable). ?? And they help you thrive not just in work, but in life. I worked with a client who was overwhelmed, crushing it at work but struggling at home. Through coaching, he turned things around achieving a huge career win and showing up fully for his family. Now everyone can see he’s a super star! If you’ve been feeling stuck, unsure, or stressed, don’t wait. Learn from an experienced coach is the best way to build a life you’re proud of. Your team deserves it. Your family deserves it. And you deserve it. Let’s make it happen. Keep AVAALIN’ Mike #AVAALER #financeprofessionals #bankingindustry #executivecoaching #careercoach

Overcome Overwhelm the experts way. Overwhelm can be a tough beast to tame, but it’s often a signal that something deeper is at play. To break free, you need to ask yourself a few key questions: ?? What is REALLY driving my overwhelm? Is it too much work, poor systems, or is there something deeper causing the chaos? Sometimes, the work and systems are just surface-level challenges. ? Where am I feeling constrained? What’s holding me back, and where can I shift? ?? What would things look like if they were easy? What can I do to simplify the situation? ? What would someone with 20 more years of experience do in this situation? Perspective often shifts everything. ?? Where am I mentally stuck? What’s the mental block that’s preventing me from moving forward? ? What mental obstacle do I need to change? This is the key to unlocking your next level. Pro tip: sit in silence and try to clear your mind for a few minutes before you get started. I believe there’s a next level inside of you, just waiting to be unleashed! Let’s tackle that overwhelm and make it work for you. ?? Which question resonates with you most? DM me to learn more.

Success Habit #1: Action ?? Learning powerful tools and strategies is a great start, but there’s one essential step that makes all the difference: taking action. Here’s the brutal truth (ouch). Knowing what to do is only half the battle. It’s the doing that creates change. Without it, knowledge is just a collection of ideas not results. Here’s how it works: 1?? Step 1: KNOWING: Learn and educate yourself. Understand the habits, strategies, and tools you 2?? Step 2: DOING:. Apply what you’ve learned consistently, even when it’s hard. Just do it! Think about this: You know you’re meant to eat healthy, exercise, and rest to stay fit. But are you actually DOING IT? That’s the hard part, right? And that’s where I step in. ?? I help you figure out the exact actions you need for your goals. (This includes figuring what’s actually holding you back - subconsciously, emotionally and in our nervous system). ?? Then, I help you take action (sometimes uncomfortable action) and hold you accountable (because, let’s face it, life gets busy and Netflix happens). ?? Result? You stop spinning your wheels and start seeing progress; (especially overcoming the obstacles that may be holding you back). And it’s actually pretty good fun and way easier when you have someone in your corner. Knowledge is potential. Action is power. So, the question is: Are you ready to stop thinking and start doing? Because this is your time to make it happen. Let’s turn your what-ifs into "hell yeahs" Drop me a message, and let’s get to work. ??

Ready to Change Your Life? Here’s the Real Deal What do you think - does change have to start with you? Spoiler alert: Yes, it does. Here’s the truth: For something in your life to change, you have to change first. That means shifting the way you see challenges, opportunities, and - most importantly - yourself. It’s not easy, but here’s where it starts: ?? Turn fear into curiosity. Fear freezes you. Curiosity moves you forward. ?? Make the decision. Change doesn’t start until you decide you’re ready for it. Here’s how you start shifting: 1?? Change your energy. How you show up matters. Bring focus, drive, and confidence to the table. 2?? Change your emotions. Align your feelings with the future you want - no more dwelling on what’s gone wrong. 3?? Change your communication. Speak with clarity, purpose, and confidence, so others see the value you bring. 4?? Change your CV or résumé. Showcase the best version of you, the one who’s ready to seize new opportunities. But here’s the kicker: None of this works without action. Transformation doesn’t happen by thinking about it - it happens when you do something. Action builds momentum, and momentum creates change. So, here’s the big question: ?? What change do you need to make? ?? What actions are you ready to take today? The only thing standing between where you are now and where you want to be is the change you’re willing to embrace right now. If you’re ready to stop thinking and start doing, let’s talk. Send me a message, and let’s get you moving. Keep AVAALIN’ Mike #AVAALER #financeprofessionals #banking #executivecoaching #careeradvice

?? Bold Career Moves: The 5 Key Elements You Need for Success Making a bold career move can feel like igniting a rocket - it takes a massive burst of energy to break through the atmosphere, but once you’re in orbit, the possibilities are infinite. These five key elements will not only help you land safely but set you up to thrive in your next chapter: 1?? Clarity: Know what you want and why it matters. Clarity keeps you focused and motivated when the road gets rocky. Your why is the compass that guides you through uncertainty. 2?? Confidence in Your Strengths: Understand the unique value you bring to the table. What are your standout skills, and how will they create impact in your next role? When you own your strengths, you step into every opportunity with confidence and purpose. 3?? Master Your Mindset: A setback isn’t failure - it’s feedback. Challenges are stepping stones, not roadblocks. Mastering your mindset is about reframing obstacles as opportunities to refine, grow, and move closer to your goals. 4?? Perseverance: Let’s be honest career transitions aren’t always smooth. Growth lives outside your comfort zone. Success comes from showing up, taking the hits, and staying committed to your vision, even when it’s tough. 5?? A Killer CV That Stands Out: Your resume is your golden ticket. Using principles from the Resume Success Blueprint, craft a CV that’s more than a list of jobs - it’s a spotlight on your achievements, your impact, and your unique story. When your CV tells a compelling narrative, it grabs attention and opens doors. Pro Tip: Find a mentor who’s been where you’re headed. They’ll help you avoid common pitfalls, shorten your learning curve, and accelerate your success. Navigating a career change doesn’t have to be a solo mission. If you’re ready to take the leap and want guidance to turn setbacks into comebacks, let’s connect DM me "Interested". I’m here to help you thrive every step of the way. Keep AVAALIN’ ??

What’s really holding you back?" Let’s talk about the growth paradox. Your brain wants to keep you safe, which means it avoids change - even if that change could help you grow. It tries to keep you in your comfort zone, but staying there means staying stuck. To grow, you need to take control of those thoughts, step outside your comfort zone, and be okay with making mistakes. That’s how you build confidence and learn the skills to level up. If you feel like something invisible is holding you back - like a bungee cord pulling you down - I can help. Many of my clients have been where you are, and now they’re thriving because they’ve made the shift. DM me “Interested” to connect with me. Your next level is closer than you think.
