Welcome!
Hi, I’m Mike! I’m passionate about helping people gain clarity, grow in confidence, and take intentional steps toward a life of purpose. I love walking with people as they navigate life’s challenges and discover the next right step forward. Check out my story below to learn more about my journey and what drives my coaching.
My Story
I believe we were never meant to go through life alone. Some of the most transformative seasons of my life have been shaped by mentors and friends who walked with me, encouraged me, and helped me see the next step forward. Because of their investment, I’ve experienced growth I could never have achieved on my own. I’ve always had a desire to walk alongside others, and those personal experiences have only deepened that passion.
​
When I was younger, I loved working with kids, which led me to pursue a degree in Elementary Education from Millersville University. While there, I was part of Navigators, a campus ministry deeply rooted in discipleship. It was through Navigators that I experienced both being discipled and discipling others, which continued to shape my heart for mentorship and growth.
​
After graduating, I spent nearly a decade teaching kindergarten, 5th grade, and 6th grade. I loved building relationships with my students and helping them grow, not just academically, but in ways that would shape their lives. Over time, though, I realized I was spending more energy on paperwork and testing than on what mattered most to me: investing in people.
​
In 2019, my wife and I took a leap of faith, and I left teaching to pursue a Master of Divinity in Pastoral Counseling at Liberty University. I didn’t know exactly where it would lead, but I knew it was the right next step. That decision opened the door for me to join a local nonprofit, where I now work full-time helping bring our adult service programs into local businesses. Most of my days are spent walking with employees in their workplaces, helping them set goals, access resources, and take real steps forward. I was able to help launch this program, and it’s been amazing to see lives change right where people spend so much of their time, at work.
​
A couple of years ago, a friend gave me the push I needed to start Mike Lewis Coaching, and I’ve been coaching ever since. Now I get to do what I love most: helping people gain clarity, find their footing, and live with purpose and intentionality.
