Michael Starr (a.k.a. Myron Staroschak) is an adventurer at heart. He loves exploring and "going where few have gone." While studying at Carnegie Mellon University, he and a friend canoed fifty-four days from Pittsburgh to New Orleans. The next year, he hitchhiked and bused for four months through the United States, Mexico, and Guatemala, living on $3 per day. He was interviewed by Admiral Hyman Rickover and later became a Navy Lieutenant on the nuclear submarine USS Kamehameha SSBN 642. After his military service, he became an improvement team expert and a productivity virtuoso in the manufacturing sector. He has coached hundreds through his business, Executive Coaching Services, and has published dozens of articles relating to personal improvement and relationships. His greatest challenge, however, was discovering how to have empathy for others and empower them to find a way to make things better. His progress occurred largely as a result of learning how to deal with addiction, mental health crises, interpersonal conflict, and his own character defects.In 2018, he began preparations for summiting Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. At the age of sixty-nine years, he reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro at 19,300 feet. During his ten-day trek up and down that mountain, he had a spiritual awakening, documented with his poem: "On my way to Kilimanjaro, I found God was waiting for me there." He is an advocate of his philosophy of Betterism, which continually seeks more good and less bad with win-win outcomes.You can learn more about Mike and his coaching business at www.executivecoachingservices.net.
