Me llamo Michael. Puedo saltar. ¿Quieres verme saltar? Así me presentaba a los desconocidos en el supermercado cuando tenía tres años. No ha cambiado mucho. Aquí está la biografía oficial (lo mejor al final).
Michael Bungay Stanier está a la vanguardia de la transformación de cómo las organizaciones ven el coaching como una competencia esencial de liderazgo. Su libro "El Hábito del Coaching" es el libro de coaching más vendido de este siglo, con más de un millón de ejemplares vendidos. En 2019, fue nombrado líder de opinión número uno en coaching y ha dado charlas sobre coaching, desde el podcast de Brené Brown hasta el escenario de TEDx.
Michael fundó Box of Crayons, una empresa de aprendizaje y desarrollo que ayuda a las organizaciones a transformarse, pasando de basarse en el asesoramiento a basarse en la curiosidad. Actualmente dirige MBS.works, un espacio donde las personas encuentran la claridad, la confianza y la comunidad necesarias para impulsar el cambio.
En su camino hacia la actualidad —y estas son partes esenciales de la historia de su origen—, Michael se dejó inconsciente mientras trabajaba como obrero al golpearse la cabeza con una pala; dominó la escenografía en la facultad de derecho participando en un sketch titulado "Modelo Masculino Desnudo Sincronizado"; y escribió (y cobró por ello) una historia al estilo de Harlequin Romance sobre una carta entregada erróneamente... titulada "La Entrega Masculina". Recibió una beca Rhodes.
