I See You

You've been the steady one for years. At work. At home. For your family, your team, your friends.
You've carried the invisible load, and you've carried it well. But somewhere along the way, you stopped feeling like you.
You're still showing up for everyone else. But who's showing up for you?

Who This Is For

In a major life or identity transition (career change, burnout, divorce, empty nest)

High-functioning outside; running on empty inside

The person everyone leans on; nowhere to lean yourself

Want presence at home without losing your drive at work

Ready to stop "performing" and start living in alignment

Value honesty, safety, and real conversation

The Leadership Identity Reboot™

A 3‑month private coaching experience

The Leadership Identity Reboot™ is Michael's 3-month private coaching experience for high-functioning, high-responsibility people who feel disconnected from themselves after years of serving everyone else. Through deep, honest conversations and practical integration, it helps you untangle the roles and expectations you've been carrying, release the guilt of putting yourself first, and reconnect with your true identity, so you can show up with clarity, presence, and purpose in every part of your life.

How It Works

This is a safe, grounded, judgment-free space to:

Slow down enough to hear yourself think

Untangle the roles and expectations you've carried

Release the guilt of putting yourself first

Reconnect with who you are beneath "provider" and "leader"

Show up for others without losing yourself

Format:

90‑minute deep‑dive kickoff session

Weekly 60‑minute Zoom sessions

Between‑session support (email/text)

Customized exercises for daily integration

about Michael

a few words about Michael

Michael G. Short isn't just a coach - he's walked the very path his clients are on.
After decades in five-star hospitality, leading teams at the Bellagio and the Wynn, Michael stepped away from the titles, the pace, and the constant performance to build a life that actually felt like his own.
He knows what it's like to be the one holding it all together while quietly losing touch with yourself. He's lived the burnout, the identity loss, and the slow climb back to authenticity.
Today, Michael helps high-responsibility people, often leaders, parents, and caregivers, trade survival mode for self-awareness, performance for purpose, and people-pleasing for presence.
His coaching is rooted in three things:
Deep Listening - creating a space where you feel safe enough to tell the truth
Honest Reflection - helping you see the patterns you didn't know were running your life
Practical Integration - ensuring insights become habits, not just ideas
Above all, Michael believes:
You don't have to lose yourself to support everyone else. You just need a path home - and someone to walk it with you.
