At the most fundamental level, Michael brings more than twenty years of human resources experience and extensive coaching experience to help individuals make career choices that are right for them.

A life-long California resident Michael Trust has significant coaching, mentoring, and staffing experience in a variety of industries. In addition to his 15 years as a career coach, Michael has 20 years in human resources, and six years of real estate experience during which he owned his own real estate brokerage firm.

Michael Trust points out that coaching is not consulting. His role is to facilitate clients in making changes based on discussions and their coaching program. Michael is empathetic, as all good coaches are, but holds clients accountable for their own self-development during the coaching process, and works best with people who are honestly motivated to make needed changes. He knows change is difficult, and he empowers his clients to take the steps that will lead them to their own personal goals.

Asked to sum up what he likes best about coaching, Michael Trust said, "The greatest joy I get in my professional life is seeing the proverbial 'light bulb' go on when I'm working with a client. That keeps me motivated." His clients agree; Michael Trust is an effective, highly motivating coach who offers empowering strategies based on real world experience. He inspires them to make challenging choices, and is dedicated to his clients' success.
