Michael Fox
My childhood dream was to play Major League Baseball. Only two things prevented me from pursuing a career in the sport at the highest level: talent and opportunity. So I trained for ministry, but used my considerable graphic design and writing skills to create and deliver training for individuals, churches, and industry throughout the country and beyond. I am an accomplished executive coach and spiritual director. I am passionate about leading people to greater relationship with God and neighbor. I believe the fundamental desire of God and man alike is to know and to be known. I believe the key to spiritual formation is defining your heart’s desire and being transformed by the Spirit heart, soul, mind, and strength— or, from the inside out. I am alum of TC6. My favorite authors include H. Nouwen, C.S. Lewis, R. Barton, R. Mulholland, D. Brenner, D. Willard, N.T. Wright, and C. Thompson.
Many years ago, as part of my offerings as an executive coach, I developed a unique, strong process to clarify Values, Vision, Voice. I’ve found the same curriculum to be very useful as a subtle structure underneath my spiritual direction. In addition, I work with clients to develop their relationship with God and neighbor, using a proprietary curriculum based on the two greatest commands. I’m also doing more and more work using the Enneagram (certified by the Loughriges). Also helpful is my training in MBTI. I love to work with directees around presence, in contrast to guilt/regret and fear/anxiety. Above all, directees feel heard and loved. I love to cultivate a sense of wonder around God.
