#124 - Mike Trugman: The Raw Truth of How I Left Accounting to be a Full-Time Coach (with Erin Crotty)

Mike Trugman (yours truly) is a Professional Life & Career coach who is determined to illuminate the truth of the human experience and inspire open-hearted leadership. He hosts THIS top 3% podcast, Mike's Search for Meaning, dedicated to mastering what it means to be human. 

 

Before coaching and podcast hosting, Mike's background was in public accounting. He has over 11 years of public accounting experience, with a focus on financial services (hedge fund and private equity) clients, and made the choice to leave accounting in February.

This episode unpacks what went into his choice to leave accounting in pursuit of full-time coaching and entrepreneurship.

He is currently in the midst of a challenge to coach 100 people in 100 days. You can book your session here.

Here’s more about the challenge:

It’s called the 100 Powerful Coaching Conversations in 100 Days Challenge. I'm embarking on this challenge because I am eager to serve; to support you in living your life with more courage, joy, freedom and truth. 

 

Coaching has transformed my life and continues to activate my heart and soul. It has supported me in becoming a more loving and open-hearted father & husband, and has emboldened me to trust myself and take courageous action, such as leaving my six-figure accounting job to coach.

 

Do any of these resonate with you...

 

-Have you achieved lots of external “success” but still feel that something is missing?

 

-Are you a spiritual or “woo woo” person who feels trapped and wants to break free from corporate? 

 

-Are you worried about failing or what other people will think of you?

 

-Do you want to learn how to have important, crucial conversations with people?

 

-Do you want to overcome the fear of putting yourself out there more?

 

-Is there another area you’d like to get handled?
