Mike Horne is a Coach and Organization Consultant for Science, Technology, and Engineering Leaders. Mike's journey is a testament to the power of diverse experiences shaping a purpose-driven career. His early work with the Gallup Opinion Research Corporation laid the foundation for his understanding of people's opinions and behaviors. But it was his involvement in the lettuce boycotts alongside Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta that truly ignited his passion for labor-management relations. These formative experiences paved the way for his eventual foray into organization development, where he now excels in guiding leaders and organizations through complex challenges and transitions.

One of the main topics we delved into was the daunting transition from technical roles to leadership positions, particularly in fields like science and technology. Mike underscored the significance of self-awareness and agency in this process. He shared compelling examples of how he assists executives in tackling intricate issues, instilling hope, and fostering discernment within their teams. It's about more than just technical know-how; it's about cultivating the leadership acumen to guide teams to success.
