About Mike

Mike Schneiderman
Relational Life Coach for Men
As an Executive Coach and Relational Life Practitioner, I help men in Charlotte build clarity, confidence, and meaningful relationships.
My coaching approach is rooted in Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy, helping individuals reconnect with their true selves and achieve lasting personal transformation.
What I Believe
- Men thrive in relationships built on truth and compassion.
- Real strength comes from emotional honesty.
- Coaching should meet you where you are — and challenge you to grow.
My Journey to Coaching
At Relational Life Coaching for Men, I offer a deeply personalized approach to Men’s Life Coaching in Charlotte — helping high-performing men rediscover clarity, connection, and purpose beyond professional achievement.
My journey into coaching didn’t begin with a dramatic shift, but with a quiet realization: external success didn’t guarantee inner fulfillment. Even when everything looked right on paper, I found myself questioning what truly mattered — in my life, in my relationships, and in my work.
That turning point came when I began to explore my emotional world and relational patterns more deeply. I discovered the life-changing power of Relational Life Therapy and started applying its insights to my own growth. That exploration became the foundation of my work at Relational Life Coaching for Men.
Over the past eight years, I’ve coached professionals and men navigating career transitions, emotional disconnection, and questions of identity and purpose. I’ve seen how common it is — especially among successful men — to feel disconnected from their deeper selves. That’s where my work in Men’s Life Coaching in Charlotte begins.
Today, I blend executive coaching skills with relational intelligence and emotional depth to help men create lives that are not just successful, but also fulfilling and grounded. This is the path I’ve walked myself — and now, it’s the path I walk with others.
The Person Behind the Coach
My Path to Men’s Life and Executive Coaching in Charlotte
I’ve always been naturally curious about what makes people tick. This genuine interest in human connection and growth led me to create Relational Life Coaching for Men here in Charlotte, where I work with men from all walks of life who want more depth in their relationships and greater impact in their work.
Like many men, my journey through adulthood has included plenty of struggles and moments of feeling lost. During the intense years of building my career while raising young children, I often felt like I was going through the motions—excelling at work because that’s what was expected, but gradually losing touch with parts of myself that once brought me joy. The constant juggling act between professional responsibilities and family needs left little time for friendships or personal interests. I found myself becoming increasingly isolated, with fewer genuine connections outside of work and immediate family.
Making and maintaining friendships during those grinding years proved especially challenging. Between late nights at the office, children’s activities, and household responsibilities, my social circle shrank dramatically. I remember feeling a profound sense of disconnection—successful on paper but missing the authentic male friendships that had once been central to my life.
This experience of losing and then rediscovering connection is what ultimately led me to start a monthly men’s group in Charlotte. What began as casual dinners with the few friends I managed to keep evolved into a community of over 50 men from diverse backgrounds. This group became a lifeline for many of us—a place where we could drop the performance and speak honestly about the challenges we all face.
When I’m not working, I maintain balance through regular workouts and experimenting in the kitchen (with varying degrees of success). I enjoy quality time with my family, friends, and our dog, Levi, here in Charlotte. College sports are part of my life too as a way to relax and unwind. Music is another constant companion that helps me stay grounded.
My effectiveness as a coach comes from walking this path myself and continually investing in both personal and professional growth. My formal education includes earning an Executive Coaching degree from Emory University, and I’ve deepened my specialized skills through Terry Real’s Relational Life Coach training program. But equally important are the life lessons learned through my own struggles with work-life balance, relationship challenges, and personal growth. This combination of rigorous professional training and lived experience allows me to meet men exactly where they are—with empathy, practical tools, and a genuine understanding of their challenges.
I believe men—whether they’re executives, entrepreneurs, professionals, or focusing on personal growth—shouldn’t have to choose between success and meaningful connections. My coaching helps all men develop both simultaneously, turning everyday challenges into foundations for real growth and fulfillment.

Professional Background
Before becoming a coach, I spent over 25 years in leadership roles at major companies. I climbed the corporate ladder, built high-performing teams, and delivered results under pressure — all while managing the demands of family life. I understand what it’s like to carry the weight of responsibility and success while quietly wondering: “Is this all there is?”
That question eventually led me to coaching — first as a client, then as a calling. Today, through Relational Life Coaching for Men, I help other men reconnect with what really matters. My approach to Men’s Life Coaching in Charlotte blends practical executive insight with relational intelligence and emotional depth.
For the past eight years, I’ve coached men from all walks of life — senior executives, small business owners, high achievers, and everyday guys — all seeking clarity, confidence, and meaningful connection. My work focuses on helping men navigate personal and professional transitions, strengthen relationships, and reclaim purpose beyond productivity.
Whether you’re facing burnout, feeling stuck, or striving for a life of greater impact, I offer a grounded, no-nonsense path forward — one rooted in personal growth, honest reflection, and lasting change.
