Michael Norton

Michael Norton isn’t your typical leadership coach. He’s the one you call when you’re ready to dismantle old paradigms, rewire how you lead, and expand beyond what you thought was possible. A master of transformation, Michael partners with leaders who aren’t just playing the game—they’re questioning it, reshaping it, and building something entirely new.

With 15 years of experience coaching founders, executives, and teams across high-growth industries, Michael thrives in complexity. He guides leaders beyond control-driven tactics into a radically different kind of leadership—one rooted in presence, deep intelligence, and a whole-body shift in how they move through the world. His work blends cutting-edge consciousness practices, Enneagram mastery, and embodied intelligence, all wrapped in a coaching style that is equal parts deeply attuned and refreshingly irreverent. He’s not here to coddle you. He’s here to wake you up.

Working with Michael means breaking through resistance, confronting blind spots, and stepping into a leadership style that feels not just effective, but effortless. He helps leaders shift their relationship with fear, transform how they make decisions, and operate from a place of flow and deep alignment. His approach isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about rewiring at the deepest level so that transformation isn’t just an idea; it’s how you move through the world.

Michael holds an MFA in Critical Research from The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, is a certified Enneagram teacher with The Narrative Enneagram, and has completed a mastery course with CP Enneagram. He’s also a certified 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership coach. Now based in Chicago after years in London, Michael spends his time coaching visionary leaders, playing piano, gardening, and pushing the edges of his own evolution.

If you’re ready for a coach who won’t let you stay small, Michael’s the one.
