Michael Siller – Business Coach
Since 2012, Michael Siller has supported executives, entrepreneurs, and managers as a coach and consultant in gaining new clarity and making difficult decisions in times of uncertainty and significant change, building trust through targeted employee leadership and consciously shaping the culture of the organization. One of his main focuses is to support companies in increasing employee retention and organizational commitment within the company. To this end, Michael Siller published the book “The Commitment Principle, How Successful Leaders Increase Loyalty, Commitment, and Enthusiasm of Their Teams” publishe by Goldegg Verlag in 2022.
For over 20 years, Michael Siller has studied the emotional impact of communication and language and is passionate about helping his clients increase their effectiveness through communication.
Since 2022, Michael Siller has been teaching at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences in the Master’s degree program in Business Administration and is a lecturer at the University Course in Interpersonal Communication at Paris Lodron University Salzburg.
In his previous professional career, Michael Siller was internationally successful as an actor, singer, and dancer for more than 10 years. His essential stations were Volksoper Vienna, Bregenz Festival, Off-Broadway New York, Washington Opera, Teatro Olimpico, Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, Festival Taormina Arte, and Royal Opera House Muscat.
His coaching style is full of presence, curiosity, and passion for enabling new solutions to old challenges.
Just as an actor studies and questions his role and relationships, executives and managers reach their goals faster if they are aware of their different roles and responsibilities, draw clear distinctions, and thus consciously fill them.
You can only find clarity and determination to make decisions, achieve goals, or inspire a team in sync with your values. For this, we need to look inward. Questions that can help are:
- What is my work?
- What do I want to bring into the world through my actions?
- What do I stand for?
Michael Siller enables clarity, calm, and inner strength for himself through regular sports, yoga, and daily meditation practice.
Leaders of culturally diverse teams particularly appreciate the opportunity to benefit from Michael Siller’s wealth of international experience. He has worked in culturally diverse teams in Germany, Italy, Austria, France, the USA, and the Middle East. As a result, he feels at home in both worlds, not least due to his dual citizenship (Italy/USA).
As a coach and consultant, he regularly works on international projects and has successfully developed international teams/executive teams of international organizations.
