Bio

Hello, my name is Mike Magdaleno and I am a life coach.  I thoroughly enjoy coaching because my own life has seen many transformations, and when I was going through those changes it did not have the access to a coach to help me get a bigger picture view.  I have absolutely seen the value of coaching so much so, that I decided to become a coach myself.  One of the greatest values I have seen is that in the past, it took a lot of time for me to devise a plan and make a change that I either wanted to do or was forced to do.  A coach is absolutely invaluable in devising a plan and keeping on top of you to realize fruition.  I want my clients to have the best life design that they desire.

I have been working in public sector continuously for over 25 years.  In that experience I have worked as a police officer for a short time.  That experience was extremely valuable because it taught me that life can change on a dime.  What better way to enjoy life than to have processes and strategies in place to prosper from the changes.  My current work involves land use administration and I currently focus the majority of my work in the area of resolving neighborhood disputes.  I bring a special talent to my coaching in that I have seen many of the problems people have and tested what works and seen what does not.

I graduated from the University of Redlands (with distinction) with a degree in Business Administration and Management.  My education, both formally and in my career has given me the tools to help others reach their goals and aspirations.

In my spare time, I do a lot of travel.  I especially enjoy those travels that involve a cultural exchange mostly because I learn a widely different view of the world on these travels.  It is this experience that I also want to impart to my clients.  I also enjoy exercise and fitness and am proud member of the MGD Light Team 64 Athletic Team.  Whether in the field of play or the field of life my desire is live by the Olympic motto of Citius, Altius, Fortius – Faster, Higher, Stronger.

Mike Magdaleno is consultant, speaker, and life coach.  He has over 25 years of experience working with people and helping to resolve their problems.  He is also the founder of a podcast called Élan Life Coaching.
