Testimonials
My brother happens to be a very good man, a fabulous coach, and please don’t miss the chance to work with him!
I have been working with Michael for the past many years and I am not just better for it, I am enthusiastically able to give more because of his empathy, emotional intelligence, active listening skills, feedback, kindness, prayer, and outcomes focus!
Yes, Michael listens well, and he also has the gift of making sure he understands what you are saying, checking in to see if his take is accurate, and then asking the right question. Perhaps it doesn’t get better than this!
Whether it is individual or group, personal or workplace culture, whether you are trying to get out of your own way or in to God’s Will, Michael can support this most effectively.
If you want to move from where you are to where you want to be, Michael can help you get there!

I am so happy to see Michael is launching a life-coaching practice. Michael and I have known each other for over five years and during this time, we have become close friends. He has given me great support during various struggles and challenges I have faced. I appreciate his attentiveness to listen and connect with me during our times together. His broad based knowledge spanning mental health topics, addiction support and recovery, and Eastern Orthodox phronema (mindset) gives him a unique ability to look at many angles of a life path or problem and raise awareness for useful, Christ centered self-awareness and help. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael as a life coach.

I’ve known Michael Fields a long time, and one thing I can say for sure is that he has a real gift for helping people stand up in their own lives. Through Phronema-Cast, he creates a space where you can slow down, get honest with yourself, and start feeling good about who you are again — not just on the outside, but from the inside out. Michael don’t just tell you what to do; he walks with you while you find your own clarity and strength. If you’re ready to stop drifting and start standing up in the life you were meant to live, he’s the kind of coach who can help you get there. I’m proud to recommend him.

I have known Michael for about 10 years. We first met at a convention where Michael and his wife Edna were attending which evidenced to me his commitment to community well being. Over these years I have grown closer to Michael and can attest that he is in fact who he appears to be. An honest, caring, thoughtful, and wise man who genuinely cares about others. I have witnessed him walking through difficulties in life with grace and fortitude. Michael doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. He does however, stay the course and can provide valuable insights. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael as a coach and mentor.

Michael possesses a rare spiritual gift: he listens not only to the words being spoken, but also to what is happening beneath them. He has an extraordinary ability to reflect what he hears with compassion, clarity, and insight, while asking powerful questions that invite genuine self-understanding and growth.
He is especially skilled at creating a safe and trusting space where people can speak honestly about their struggles. Michael combines careful listening, spiritual discernment, emotional sensitivity, and practical wisdom. He helps people recognize patterns, clarify what truly matters to them, and identify meaningful next steps without imposing his own answers.
Michael’s compassion, wisdom, and capacity for deep listening make him uniquely gifted as a life coach. Michael is exceptionally well suited to serve Orthodox Christians seeking guidance through recovery, grief, personal transition, spiritual struggle, or a deeper process of healing and growth. He brings a profound understanding of both the spiritual life and the difficult, courageous work of personal transformation.
