I am Michael Shaw.

I’m a father, husband, ex-husband, son, brother, friend, coach, leader,

dreamer, success, failure, and believer that all things are possible.

I choose to be fueled by love every day.

I choose to be inclusive, acknowledging that I never know from whom

my next lesson will come.

I serve as a “True Alpha”... always learning, always teaching.

I am always truthful, to myself and to others.

I dare to tread where angels fear.

I believe that we are limitless.

I jump first and build my wings on the way down.

I endeavor to see, hear, and understand at the deepest level.

I am not confused.

I strive for grace.

I am good to my life.

For three decades I have devoted myself to breaking through performance ceilings, taking a wondrous introspective journey on the road to self-discovery, and sharing my experiences and lessons with all those who have afforded me the privilege of inviting me into their lives as their coach and mentor.

My journey has empowered me to compete, perform, and succeed on a multitude of levels...Father, Business Owner, Personal Trainer, Human Performance Coach, Triathlete, Muay Thai Fighter, Tournament Poker Player, Bodybuilder, Visionary Thought Leader, and seeker of my truth and purpose.

As a personal trainer, much the way a sculptor’s hands glide across the clay or a musician strings notes together, I instinctively understood how my clients’ bodies were reacting to movement, and which modalities to apply in order to affect positive change. This was equal parts intuition, experience, and learned knowledge. Having trained as an athlete my entire life, sustaining and rehabilitating injuries to more body parts than I care to remember, I knew how to harness physical energy as a means of achieving and restoring peak strength and performance. In much the same vein, my successes, failures, fears, anxiety, and deep personal introspection have enabled me to develop strategies for achieving personal breakthroughs in all areas of life. You will find that I intuitively understand that which you are experiencing, and I will meet you where you are and stand side by side with you on your journey toward your highest quality life.

I believe in you. Much of the time more than you believe in yourself. I believe that we are all capable of living a life filled with love, grace, gratitude, security, purpose, challenge, freedom, and success.

What will it take? A belief that life is a gift and a desire to cherish and serve that gift by demanding the most of yourself. Expect to grow each day. Know that you are deserving of love and kindness. Revel in lifting up those around you.
