My name is Michael. I can jump. Do you want to see me jump? That's how I introduced myself to strangers in the supermarket when I was three years old. Not much has changed. Here's the official biography (saving the best for last).

Michael Bungay Stanier is at the forefront of transforming how organizations view coaching as a key leadership competency. His book "The Coaching Habit" is the best-selling coaching book of this century, with over a million copies sold. In 2019, he was named the number one thought leader in coaching and has given talks on coaching, from Brené Brown's podcast to the TEDx stage.

Michael founded Box of Crayons, a learning and development company that helps organizations transform by shifting from advice-driven to curiosity-led. He currently leads MBS.works, a space where people find the clarity, confidence, and community needed to drive change.

On his journey to the present—and these are essential parts of his origin story—Michael knocked himself unconscious while working as a laborer by hitting his head with a shovel; mastered stagecraft in law school by participating in a skit titled "Synchronized Nude Male Model"; and wrote (and got paid for) a Harlequin Romance-style story about a wrongly delivered letter... titled "The Male Delivery". He received a Rhodes Scholarship.
