About the author
Mike Flannery never wanted to be a writer. So he spent his youth and most of his adult life looking for the ‘perfect’ career.
As a former teacher, counselor, social worker, chef, construction worker, entrepreneur, etc. he brings all his ‘career’ experiences to bear to help underachievers find a way to live healthy, productive and fulfilling lives.
His client list is not replete with Fortune 500 executives, Wall Street movers and shakers or Olympic Medalists. His audience is people, perhaps just like you or someone you love, who’ve chosen to live quiet, desperate and often unfulfilling lives despite having so much to offer.
He’s known for his insightful, empowering, practical and humorous approach that meets people where they are and gets them moving in the direction they're really meant to go.
He's a fan of Daniel H. Pink, Susan Cain, Breane Brown and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Mike’s first book I COULDA BEEN SOMEBODY – HOW TO STOP UNDERACHIEVING NOW debuted in the winter of 2011.
When he’s not behind his computer you can find Mike in the woods, on the water, in front of a movie (or TV) screen or experimenting in the kitchen usually with a Vizsla not far behind. Married and childfree, Mike spends most of his time in "The Land of Plenty' in the Pacific Northwest.
