Executive Coaching

"Mike Glenn worked with me for a year on a customized executive coaching process.  The engagement—including most importantly having access to Mike’s gifts of subject matter expertise, enthusiasm, and devotion—helped me tremendously in progressing as a leader who is more ready, willing, and able to help the bank sustain excellence in the future.  I recommend Mike to any manager, leader, or company with needs for executive coaching and other services he offers."

"Mike has provided absolutely outstanding support to me, my team and the business as a whole.  His consulting expertise over the last ten years has helped us manage through extraordinary change, drive productivity and develop our management bench strength.  There are a lot of consultants out there that claim they can affect the bottom line.  I know from personal experience that Mike does more than claim, he delivers. Mike has the ability to take the most complex of business issues and help managers see through to the other side.  He’s amazing."

– June Smith

"My executive coaching engagement with Michael Glenn was in every way a “5-Star” experience! Michael used customized techniques that built throughout the year-long process. His ability to “see people” is remarkable. I learned powerful and impactful techniques to elevate my leadership capabilities. And how I can help others do the same (this feature of his process was the most amazing gift throughout the process.) He is inspiring, insightful and impactful. Michael Glenn is a master craftsman – a ‘must have’ for any business looking to improve their executive team!"

Strategic Planning

"For many organizations, the Strategic Planning process can be viewed as a tedious, but necessary process for organizational development.  Our Board of Directors engaged Mike Glenn to guide us through the strategic planning process for The Carnegie Board.  From the very first meeting, Mike was a master at guiding our team efficiently through the strategic planning process.  After each meeting, the strategic planning team members were energized by the insights realized during each step of the process.  Mike really made the strategic planning enjoyable and fun, and at one point, we dubbed him the “Board Whisperer”. Mike has a powerful and engaging way of helping organizations take a broad brush of ideas and aspirations and pare them down to produce the most meaningful and measurable goals for the organization.  With Mike’s help and expertise, The Carnegie Board has built a solid strategic plan that will take us through the next 3-5 years."

Succession Planning

"I had the opportunity to become acquainted with Michael while helping organize the HR Academy session sponsored by the Greater Cincinnati Human Resources Association.  Michael came highly recommended to our organization to be a speaker on Succession Planning.   The feedback we received from the attendees regarding Michael’s presentation was outstanding.  Michael’s knowledge around succession planning is exceptional.  In addition to being an effective presenter, the information he provided was very relevant and useful.  He has a very thorough succession planning road map that can be customized to the needs of any organization.  Michael exceeded our organization’s expectations and I would definitely recommend him."

"Soon after joining UMB, Mike facilitated an executive on boarding process for me with my senior staff to ensure teamwork across my organization and alignment with business partner priorities.  Mike was instrumental in fostering an open communication environment and productive conversations to improve our division’s interaction with the various line of businesses that we support across UMB.  He quickly established effective working relationships with my staff and helped us with this internal business partner cultural transformation. He effectively helped us define our overall Vision and Mission statements, formalize our business partner management process (i.e. expectations, performance measurement and reporting, continuous improvement), and establish our Business Partner Relationship Operating Principles.  I firmly believe that Mike’s engagement positioned us to deliver the improvements in overall business partner satisfaction that we have made over the last two years relative to the operations and technology functions that the division delivers daily.  Needless to say, Mike is a valued partner who I would highly recommend to others!"

– Daryl Hunt

Mike’s approach and style allowed us to get to the core issues quickly and engage in an open and frank dialogue.  The effectiveness of his efforts were core to results the business delivered over the past three years!"
