Master every area of your life

You have already stepped up.

Changed roles. Started a business. Pursue the goals you wanted.

You still have the skills, experience, and track record.
Along the way, you lost sight of your most important asset.

Your belief in yourself.

That’s because you are protecting yourself from proving your doubts right.
The longer you wait, the stronger your doubts take control.
Your family sense it, and clients feel it too.
But it doesn’t have to be. You can change it.

Discover your real barriers in 5 minutes.

Let’s find out

Rebuild your self-belief from the inside out.

Own Your #ICAN

I know from 25 years of leading brands and rebuilding as a founder

Success at your level isn’t about doing more.

It’s about aligning mindset, emotions, and action to get the results you deserve.

The real reasons why you feel stuck

Beliefs

You plan but don’t start.

Because deep down, you’re protecting yourself from being exposed as “not good enough.”

Emotions

You do but don’t trust..

Even when you take action, you’re waiting for validation before you believe in your value.

Ownership

You know but don’t execute

You’ve convinced yourself “not ready” feels safer than “let’s find out.”

These are patterns that once kept your feel safe but are holding you back now.

We will reframe these stories so that you can show up with presence,
lead decisively, and attract high-value opportunities.

That’s when self-doubt stops deciding for you.

Hi, I’m Michael.

I’ve been written off twice. I proved them wrong both times.

At 15, my school principal said I had “zero chance” after I failed 6 out of 9 subjects. I made a promise that day: “I will prove that I can.”

10 months later, I did.

25 years later, I was leading global brands – Apple, Samsung, Nike, Adidas, Dyson – as Regional Vice President at Lazada Group.

When retrenchment came in 2023, I learned that confidence wasn’t built with your resume.
So I rebuilt again, from the inside out. I founded Positive Minds and created the #ICAN Framework, blending proven science with hard-earned experience.
Since then, I’ve coached mid-career founders and corporate teams through over 100 sessions.

Here’s what I’ve observed:
Achievers get stuck when they stop believing they can.

That’s why I do this work. To help you be the person you can always count on.

The Power of Once

The Power of Once

Dec 18, 2024 | ,

It has been said the first time is the most memorable.But what if it can also be the most disruptive?Years ago, my former CEO shared a simple yet profound principle:“When we allow ‘just this once,’ we open the door to excuses.”“A small compromise will lead to a habit…
