Christina DoddThought Leader,
Life Coach and Trainer I had the pleasure to work with Michael on several sessions, in various areas of executive coaching. Michael is an exceptional coach! his high level of empathy and understanding of the human nature enables a person to open up freely to firstly identify and remove the really difficult and painful barriers that keep one’s mind paralyzed. He has an approach that instills confidence in the coachee and at the same time pushes them to push themselves and allow to be coached. He is a master of talking things through. I highly recommend him, whether it be for corporate, executive or personal coaching or training.
Vichapat PiyaratnGeneral Manager It was an incredible experience and joy working with Michael. Michael showed me what it means to be a true mentor, coach, and leader. During my time working with Michael, he truly led by example and as my Mentor, he inspired me to be the person and successful professional that I am today. Of all the things that he taught me over the years, one thing always sticks in my mind; Michael showed me that there is no “I” in team, everything is “We”. Those simple words changed my life and perspective on approaching everything that I do. I will forever be grateful for having the greatest opportunity of working and being mentored by him.

Nanna SageTalent Strategist l C-Suite Coach I always felt that although my coaching business was successful, there was room to raise it a few notches to a next level. When I first spoke to Coach Sypsomos, I quickly realized that everything we do in any type of business are projects, and if we learn how to plan, organize and staff them in a structured manner, our business will improve. I decided to work with Coach Sypsomos and I am certainly glad I did; the boost I got in my organizational, decision making and productivity skills, helped me take my company to new levels of success I never expected! As an added bonus, I was surprised to see that the processes I learned in organizing and making decisions for my projects, I could now apply in my personal life; as a result I can now more clearly understand my purpose, set goals and execute them in a way that helped me improve my career and my life immensely.
Besides being a worldwide expert in Project Management and master in Organizational Change, the one trait that sets Coach Sypsomos apart, he truly cares and he is passionate about helping people.
I can wholeheartedly attest that Coach Sypsomos has helped put more sanity and order in my life first and foremost, while he has helped me get organized as an executive and improve the projects for my company, in a way that I am now in total control over them and they are more profitable than ever before; I am very appreciative and cannot recommend highly enough the value that Coach Sypsomos’ Executive Coaching will bring to anyone’s projects, organization and life.
