Trajectory [noun]

A path, progression, or line of development
An upward career trajectory

Mike Igoe is a coaching professional who leverages his unique experience, training, and skills to help you gain the confidence and resolve to explore new possibilities for personal growth and professional excellence.

Mike experienced three significant changes in his life’s trajectory that inform his coaching and how he serves his clients:

  1. After graduating high school, he sought a life filled with service to others, so he made his first trajectory change by attending the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and becoming a U.S. Army officer.

  2. Towards the end of his time in the military, Mike examined the trajectory of his career path, something different that still offered personal fulfillment. So, he made a second trajectory change, from military service to the corporate world.

  3. After earning a MBA from the University of Notre Dame, and successfully serving others in roles of increasing responsibility at ABC News, BAE Systems, and Carbon Black / VMware / Broadcom, he wondered how could he better serve others in a direct, focused, and impactful manner? In his third trajectory change, he transitioned from corporate manager to executive coach.

Today, he brings his unique experience, training, and skills to help others. Whether you're looking to gain confidence and resolve, explore new possibilities for personal growth, or develop professional excellence, he's here to help with your unique trajectory.
