Meet Michael
Hi, I’m Michael!
Hi, I’m Michael.
For the past 20 years, I’ve worn many hats—police officer, border patrol agent, federal prison leader, and business owner. Each role came with its own set of challenges, but one thing remained constant: growth comes from adversity.
Through my Failure Fuels Growth philosophy, I created the Winning the Battle Between the Ears framework—a system designed to turn setbacks into success. By embracing failure as a stepping stone, I help organizations boost productivity, strengthen engagement, and build resilient, high-performing teams.
My journey, shaped by high-pressure situations and personal loss, has given me the tools to help leaders thrive in demanding environments. I know firsthand that challenges don’t define us—how we respond to them does.”

Success Stories
I took part in a four week presentation on Leadership led by Michael Laidler. He led an excellent and informative presentation and invited others for feedback. All of us who participated in this seminar learned from our preview experiences and helped us grow as leaders in our respective positions. I look forward to working more with Mr. Laidler in the future.
Michael has such a gift as a leadership coach. He is able to get you to think from different perspectives and paint a bigger picture. I appreciate all that I have learned from him and look forward to learning more.
Michael has the skill set and coaching abilities to quickly drill down and identify underlying issues. He's a special talent and has proven to me the benefits of a quality leadership coach.
