Meaningful Change through Intentional Actions...
This has been, and continues to be, the motto I follow when working with individuals and organizations, and drives the process of helping others to become the leaders they are meant to be... for today and the future!
At the same time, this unique & proprietary process is tailored to each specific individual and organization, and serves as the catalyst for creating a life by design rather than just living a life by default.
My "why" and my driving purpose is serving & partnering with as many people as possible by creating alignment & clarity to unlock & unleash every bit of potential they have...

My "why" and my driving purpose is serving & partnering with as many people as possible by creating alignment & clarity to unlock & unleash every bit of potential they have...
But the beautiful and ironic paradigm is that although these feelings can seriously mess with our lives, each and every one of us has the power within to harness that energy, discover and leverage our stories, and create that impactful message to share with the world!
In order to filter through all of that, it takes intent, focus, purpose and practice...
And helping others with that process is what drives me and allows me to thrive today! It took me a long time to figure out how to create the powerful foundation that must be built and once it is, that foundation serves as a launchpad for massive greatness to be unleashed in our lives (in whatever context that is for each individual).
With the right mindset & perspective, our experiences shape our stories and truly give our lives meaning. My desire is to help as many people as I can use these life experiences as steppingstones towards fulfillment instead of campgrounds of emptiness.

Dr. Mike Smith's book is a deep dive into the important issue of societal acceptance, what it is, how and why it impacts quality of life, and how we can break free. Dr. Mike draws his conclusions from research, not simply theory or opinion. This book is an important read for anyone struggling with acceptance, particularly veterans and former service members struggling to transition back into civilian life. Erasing the line in the sand is an easy, enjoyable read. Kudos to Dr. Mike for this excellent book!
- fireman rob verhelst, guinness book of world record holder
As a firefighter who has experienced the heart-pounding traumas of saving lives, and as someone grappling with PTSD, "Erasing the Line in the Sand" by Dr. Mike Smith struck a deep chord in me. Smith’s exploration of societal acceptance, especially in the context of veterans transitioning into civilian roles, resonated with my own struggles of finding belonging after trauma. The psychological effects of perceived acceptance or its lack, as laid out by Dr. Smith, are enlightening and invaluable.

Because leadership coaching is such a critical part of creating awareness and catapulting growth, while tailoring the journey to each individual or team, Doc has created "TRANSFORM Leadership Coaching - The 4 D's" which is a proven process that combines the art & science of coaching to deliver positive results… every time! The 4 D's of Discover, Dedicate, Develop, and Demonstrate leverage a combination of assessments that are used to increase levels of awareness from a holistic perspective, and that data is used to create a customized & unique roadmap for the client to follow, which allows any leader (current or future) to step into the person they are meant to be!
Leadership Coaching
These programs are based on fundamental elements that affect every person, either positively or negatively, based on how they perceive those elements. It has been designed to educate individuals or teams on some of the more prevalent psychological barriers, as well as the strategies to raise their level of conscious awareness to recognize and overcome those barriers which inhibit performance. The main objective of these programs are to help each person clearly identify his or her own unique core purpose & create aligned goals so that they can harness potential, amplify critical thinking, and earn phenomenal results in any area of life!

The line in the sand... we’ve all heard the cliché saying “Draw a line in the sand” which portrays the point that an individual will not go past or placing a limit on what someone will accept or do. In many ways, societal acceptance (the need for belonging, approval addiction or whatever name you attach to it) can have the same effect when an individual feels like they are excluded versus included. This book dives a little deeper into societal acceptance, more specifically among veterans who are transitioning into a civilian job after military retirement, and looks at how an individual perceives the level of acceptance they are experiencing (or not) can impact their lives. The bottom line to societal acceptance is that the phenomenon truly exists and is rooted in both theory and research, and it is my true hope that this book provides valuable data and a unique perspective on how we can navigate this on an individual level as well as support those veterans who retire and still have so much value to contribute to society.
At the height of his career, Mike was selected to serve as the First Sergeant of the elite USAF Thunderbirds Air Demonstration Squadron, where he traveled around the world representing the men and women of the Air Force through airshows, community visits, and speaking at events.
After retiring from active duty, Mike transitioned into the civilian sector where he became a corporate leader in a Berkshire Hathaway Energy company working for Warren Buffet and Greg Able. In that role he provided leadership, mentorship and guidance to company employees at all levels, including senior corporate leaders.
