Michael Bartura - Building Happy Habits
Michael Bartura has well over 30 years of experience in a variety of fields including education, international aid, manufacturing, training & development, business development and innovation. Over the years, he in as many as a dozen countries in Asia, Australia, North America, and Europe.
Michael has worked as a director, manager, business developer and consultant with organisations such as The Halo Trust and the IMC Group. He has spent 12 years as a therapist and 17 years as a facilitator, trainer and a coach. He has a master’s degree in management and taught classes on Leadership, Self-Awareness and Emotional Intelligence for the School of Life and now the Small Giants Academy.
In Australia, he founded Happy Habits Coaching using principles of Servant leadership and Positive Neuroplasticity - a mindfulness-based approach to increase our self-awareness of the brain’s tendency for negative biases and better deal with anxiety and fear. Together with his daughter, he established the Gatherer’s Leadership project to work with the next generation on models of leadership, entrepreneurship and advocacy for social goodwill.
He is committed to helping his clients better understand how their minds are limiting their growth and happiness, and how mental patterns that served us well in the Savannah are not well suited to modern times and get in the way of a life worth living. He listens deeply and asks questions with a mix of curiosity, empathy, and honesty.
Michael lives in the forest just outside Melbourne and is constantly amazed by how easily his children see through his pretensions. He is addicted to quotes from people much smarter and linguistically more adept than himself, and finds shopping for anything other than office equipment boring and tedious.
