Mike Caracalas
My first job out of school was developing leaders at an iconic Silicon Valley company. I spent the next 18 years developing leaders within organizations across a wide range of industries. I worked primarily in Leadership Development roles, as well as senior HR Business Partner roles. My work gave me a front-row seat to the growing trend of Executive Coaching, and in 2012, I made the life-changing decision to become a coach and start my own Leadership Development firm: Caracalas and Associates.

Lead People, Manage Things
At the heart of everything we do is my philosophy of leadership that emerged over 30 years of creating leaders. I've captured this in the guide:

The Executive Guide to Creating Results with People.


Caracalas and Associates
We are hired by organizations who understand that leaders are developed primarily through experience and that learning from experience is accelerated through coaching.
Depending on the size and scope of the engagement, working with Caracalas and Associates means working directly with Mike and associate coaches and consultants from around the world.
