International Leadership Consultant & Facilitator
Executive Coach
Interesting fact about Mike
Mike began playing the violin at the age of 3 and, as co leader of the first violins in his school’s senior orchestra, was once forbidden from playing sports to protect his hands. On the bright side, he performed in a selected orchestra that accompanied Yehudi Menuhin at the Purcell Room in London. On the less bright side, years later he stood next to Lionel Messi in a Barcelona hotel without recognising him. That early training in precision, listening and ensemble performance still shapes his facilitation style today.
Mike Summerfield is a globally experienced leadership facilitator who brings energy, insight, and humanity into every room he enters. Having worked in 41 countries on 5 continents, he partners with leaders, managers, and teams to transform how they think, collaborate, and perform.
Mike is at home in the intimacy of small group facilitation as well as leading the proceedings at conferences with keynote speeches tailored to the conference outcomes.
Mike’s sessions are dynamic, relational, and deeply practical. He creates spaces where people feel safe to speak openly, challenge themselves, and try new ways of leading. His work blends real-time learning with proven approaches, focusing on mindset as much as skill because confidence, courage, and clarity are what turn ideas into action.
Leaders appreciate his directness and thought-provoking style; teams appreciate his warmth and trust. For Mike, success isn’t just about better results it’s about stronger relationships, greater pride, and a healthier, more connected workplace.
