I’m Misha, for over 20 years I’ve been helping people create spaces for better human connection. I do that in a few ways...

I help companies solve problems that stop them from getting the results they want by making sure that they’re paying attention to both the brain-centered analytic side of things, and the heart-centered human side. Find out how I can help you and your company.

I help people make their events better, like conferences, leadership retreats, and offsites. From hosting the acclaimed Trampoline Hall lecture series to designing high-stakes conferences for tech companies and research institutions, I've developed a unique approach to making events work. Find out how I can help make your event better.

Most conferences, offsites, and retreats aren’t as good as they should be.

I can make them great.

Are you running a conference? A leadership retreat? A company offsite? A fundraiser? An online event? A festival? An unconference?

For over 20 years, I've been mastering the art of creating events where people genuinely connect. These kinds of events don’t just happen by chance. You have to intentionally design your event to maximize real connection, inspiration, and effectiveness. Let’s make sure that happens.

I want your team to be happier and more effective. I can help you get there.

Businesses are made of people. 90% of business problems are created by human problems—miscommunication, insecurity, wishful thinking, conflict avoidance. I work on that squishy human stuff, in a way that drives concrete outcomes. Your business can be a place where people can flourish and get great work done.

Here are some ways I help organizations:

Leadership coaching

Helping leaders become better communicators

Helping teams become more autonomous and independent problem-solvers

Helping teams and leaders become better at receiving and giving feedback

Helping (even the busiest) leaders find more time in their calendars (I promise, it can be done!)

“We brought Misha in to help us plan an ambitious series of events to celebrate our 25th anniversary. He quickly helped us recognize obstacles we hadn’t seen. He did an amazing job getting different stakeholders talking to each other and understanding issues that had previously been undiscussed. Misha has tremendous expertise on how to make events dynamic and meaningful, and I’d recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to put on a great event.”

I’m happy to set up an initial call where we can get to know each other a bit, and see if we’re a good fit. You don't need perfect clarity about your goals to begin. These calls are often fun and interesting for both of us, even if we don’t end up working together.

“When it comes to helping people become more persuasive and effective communicators, Misha is one of the most gifted practitioners I’ve seen… you’ll be amazed by the results he can bring.”
