How SteadyHand Helps

We Offer the Tools You Need for Success

Many people struggle with decision-making during times of professional change and uncertainty. At SteadyHand Coaching & Consulting, I will help you refine your idea of success, intentionally set your goals, and learn to hold yourself more accountable so that you can live the life you want.

My name is Michael Schwartz, and I am a Certified Professional Coach and the founder of SteadyHand Coaching and Consulting. I am an expert critical thinker with a data-driven approach to solving problems. I balance this skill while using empathy and compassion with every client I work with. Honesty, responsibility, and accountability are my top values.

SteadyHand is based in Northern Virginia where I have lived and worked for over 20 years. I have private and public sector experience ranging from my community to the highest levels of government. If you’re feeling a bit stuck and want to explore how you can achieve your definition of success, I offer a 30-minute free consultation call to see if we might be the right fit. I’m happy to work with people remotely, so location is not a limitation.

“Mike’s positive and relaxed nature can immediately put me at ease. He listens well, recognizes my energy, my need to make connections, how important my goals are to me, and holds me accountable to move forward without any feeling of pressure.”—K.R.

"I highly recommend Mike's coaching services. He asked the questions I didn't think to ask and challenged me to think about choices in a more expansive and thoughtful way. Mike strikes the perfect balance between being compassionate and sympathetic while also being candid and motivating.  Thank you, Mike!"—A.K.

"Michael was patient and helpful as I sorted through a lot of competing ideas. He helped me realize I needed to challenge some assumptions that were holding me back. He asked good questions but also gave me time to explore my thoughts. Our discussions were very helpful for me as I narrowed down what I really wanted to pursue."—S.D.
