About Michael Van Osch
In all areas of life, there are men who are killing it and living lives they love, and there are men who are not reaching their potential, are stuck and are miserable. It’s not the industry you’re in that matters, it’s not your nagging wife, and it’s not your kids, it’s you. It’s the man that you’re being or not being that has brought you to where you are.
You hire a personal trainer to get in shape, an accountant to do your taxes…what about becoming the leader and all round man you thought you were going to be? What happened there?
A man in your corner…
“Michael makes relevant and insightful recommendations that often see immediate positive results!” -Pete Canalichio, Licensing Brands Inc.
A mentor with a mission…
Michael Van Osch is Founder and CEO of thinktank:men – he is dedicated to helping men who want to make changes in their lives and careers and start really living.
“If you’re not the motivated guy you once were, aren’t making the income you want, aren’t the leader you’d like to be then you’re probably spending the majority of your time ‘being right’ and ‘doing things your way’. We simply don’t know what we don’t know – and it kills us as men. It’s later than you think – when will you start to make a real go of your career, business, relationships?”
A coach with innate ability to get you to your best…
An inspiring leader and coach, he provides tools and support to men who want to do more than simply survive, but to thrive and grow. Besides leading courses and mastermind groups, Michael also works one-on-one with men to teach them how to get what it takes to create successful, happy and full lives.
A perspective that rushes you out of being stuck…
Years of coaching men, an MBA and successful executive, writer, actor and speaker – every guy needs a man in his corner like Michael. Professional training and years of being on stage in front of thousands, plus a desire to bring men back to their individual, innate power by defining what they want their live to be about…all point to this moment for you.
Author of the book, One Man’s Life, he has also been featured as a writer on well-known websites such as Productive Flourishing, The Good Men Project, & the Passion Test Daily. A certified coach, Michael is also a founder and leader of men’s groups – helping others become the men they want to be.
A drive that matches your own…
A man in your corner. You know there must be more to life, right? Well there is and this man will help you get to that new place. Don’t let anyone fool you, it’s damn hard to make real changes in your life. Michael had a lot of help along the way and now he’s a resource and ally to get you where you want to go. Start now, the man you’re meant to be is waiting.
A little fun stuff about MVO:
- Go to guy for men who need ideas or just a ‘give your head a shake’ reality check
- A head for strategy, heart of an artist
- Batman not Superman
- Has an MBA but will trade it for a bottle of Crown Royal or a ‘70 E-Type (either is fine really)
- Homeland is Canada, that’s why he’s a diplomat, home now is America, that’s why he’ll push you to be your best, lived in Germany, that’s why he drives fast
- Fell off a two-story balcony once, not even a scratch
- Lifted a table once, blew out a shoulder
- Motorcycles and horses, loves to ride ‘em both
- As an actor, toured the longest running one-man show in Broadway history
- Did a triathlon once, that’s good enough
- Has made sure his wife has an appreciation for The Jam, Elvis Costello, Style Council and all the other 70s-80s Brit music
- Still can’t believe she brought two cats into his house
- Why he started thinktank:men? Noticed many men were not living the life they imagined, trying to fix that one day at a time
