“This is exactly what I needed as an entrepreneurial business owner.

I’m more confident about the direction we’re headed, We have alignment; we are all rowing in the same direction. Our meetings have become more efficient because we aren’t focused on trivial things. We also aren’t trying to ‘boil the ocean”’ and instead we are working on the highest priority items first – our rocks!”

“What I like most about Synk’s coaching is the accountability and deadlines he brings to the equation. It forces me to make good decisions that I won’t procrastinate on. It’s helped me stay focused, my stress levels are reduced, and I’m managing others and the projects so much better as a result. The processes we are creating and implementing are creating more profits and increased cash flow. With that I more confidently and consistently focus on what I do best, instead of working on the churn.

If you feel you are in the ‘spin cycle’ of reacting to everything, Synk will help you sort it all out so you can confidently focus on the right things that will produce growth.”

“Synk is easy to work with. We established a good chemistry right away. He talks ‘with us’ as we are in the process, not ‘at us’ from 30,000 feet. He’s coaching the entire team, getting them involved and included in planning our future. Rather than a throwing bunch of tools at us, which is overwhelming, we have clarity on what we need to be working on right, now to create growth. Synk is prepared. He’s grounded. You’ll be happy you engaged him.”

“We engaged Michael over two years ago to help us reinvent ourselves. Our business, though profitable, lacked the focus and vision to get to the next level. We felt like we were spinning our wheels and just running in place. With Michael’s help, we came up with long- and short-term goals, we identified the tasks that would lead to our goals, and started holding ourselves accountable to perform those tasks. Hiring Michael was the best decision that I have made in years.”

“Michael is a catalyst. Energy churns around him, he constantly has innovative ideas, and inspires you to think the impossible is possible. He comes into a situation, seeing what is there, bringing some of his own thoughts in, but holding back enough to see all the different elements. It is inspiring watching his mind swirl in all of it, make something different or change direction, bring people along on that idea, and get them to move forward on that idea

He can be a thorn in your side, always pushing to make things even better. He can scare you with his suggestions to change things, even the things you think are fine. Yet you recognize much of what is great around you exists because Michael dared to dream it, dared you to dream it with him, pushed you past what you feared were your limits and, even more, dared to take the risks to make it come to life.”

“Strategy is good, and execution is good, but operating without putting the two together can be a disaster for your business. Michael has a very practical tool in his book Rock & Sand that ties the two together perfectly. Rock and Sand explains and illustrates the ideas and processes that will help your business identify top goals, set a strategy to achieve them, and execute on them successfully.

I read Rock and Sand and immediately brought it back to our entire leadership team. We used that foundation to help us grow by 100 percent in four years. No matter what size company you have, Michael’s Rock & Sand can help you take it to the next level.”
