I’m Mike, originally from Australia I’ve been living in Israel for 10 years. I live with my partner and our two very young kiddies. 

I’ve always been a peoples person. For me that means that I’m really interested in how we relate to one another. From a young age I was a sensitive boy and that hasn’t left me. I find myself naturally empathic, sometimes I find it difficult to consider and voice my own needs. 

On one hand I see myself as an extrovert and love being around people and letting my personality come out. On the other hand I like quiet time alone and often feel shyness. 

Professionally I’m a coach in Nonviolent Communication which is a way of relating to one another and ourselves with honesty and compassion. I find that this way of relating is the closest thing I’ve found to how I want to be in relationships with the world.
