Michael Piperno

“I've had the absolute pleasure of working with Michael over the last six months. It is more than clear he isn't just passionate about his work; he truly makes a significant impact with his clients. In the end, he wasn't just a client to me; he became a mentor — consistently checked in on how my new business is doing and offering amazing guidance whenever I was stuck. I'm so grateful to Michael for taking a chance on me (being one of my first clients) and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him better. His trust and support have been instrumental in helping me grow my business with confidence. Michael's blend of professionalism, mentorship, and genuine care for those he works with is rare, and I can't thank him enough for his invaluable contribution to my journey.”

“Michael led and facilitated a series of programs (face to face and video conference) with our early-stage biotech team to improve communication among the team, help us be more effective in conflict resolution and overall teamwork. The programs added measurable value to our team. We are delivering more effectively on the day to day cadence of the team and also maintaining a high level of engagement during the typical ups and downs in biotech. I highly recommend Michael and Comvia Life Sciences to support your team’s growth and development.”

“I cannot recommend Michael enough for any public speaking needs. He was exactly who I needed to help me prepare for my first major lecture. I would have dropped out of the opportunity if I didn't have Michael by my side coaching me. He helped me organize my thoughts verbally and visually. He also had the foresight to know I'd be able to reuse this content and helped me organize it so I could do that easily. His expertise has served me beyond just the specific project we worked on - I use his public speaking tips in my professional role as well! If you are looking for professional public speaking coaching, your search stops here. If you are still on the fence/have more questions please DM or call/text me!”

“My team was already working well together and I wanted to optimize their synchronicity by improving their ability to communicate with each other regardless of what was going on. We support a variety of clients and sometimes have conflicting deadlines. It's all manageable, but doing so smoothly requires everyone to be comfortable communicating their needs. Michael interviewed the team members, provided assessment tools for them to use to apply to better understand themselves and their communication styles in various scenarios, and then guided all of us through a series of exercises. These helped us understand how to recognize when others may be feeling pressure, how to communicate when we are feeling that way, and gave us tools for applying what we learned in every day situations. He also checks in on us from time to time and my team really appreciated the investment the company made in helping us all help each other.”

“I recently made an intentional shift to focus my consulting work in a different direction. As a consultant myself, I help companies go through similar branding shifts but was struggling to do it for myself. I hired Michael based on a referral from another consultant who had great success in working with him. My experience was no different. In a few coaching sessions, Michael simultaneously challenged and focused me. At the end, I came away with a clear personal brand that has led me in my new direction with clarity and confidence. My investment in Michael, and in myself, has paid off in the form of many new ideal clients. I highly recommend Michael to companies or consultants in a similar situation.”

“Our company hired Michael to deliver Effective Listening workshops to our employees. Michael provided a meaningful learning experience that has had a positive impact on our staff. We also hired Michael to work with an employee to improve that employee's communication skills. In both cases I was very pleased with Michael's preparation, content, execution, and follow up. I highly recommend him and look forward to leveraging his expertise for future employee training.”

“Michael didn't just prepare me for a career shift; he prepared me for a profound transformation in my life. He possesses a remarkable ability to listen attentively with empathy and reflection. He delves beneath the surface of my words to uncover the core of my identity, guiding me towards the path for my next steps. Whatever challenge I presented to this exceptional coach, he met it with humility, candor, and unwavering enthusiasm. I am grateful to have had him by my side, coaching and supporting me.”

“I had the opportunity to learn some valuable skills from Michael during his workshop on public speaking. The material was relevant and easy to follow along. I felt like he really had my best interest at heart. The time flew by! Thank you Michael - I learned so much in such a short time!”

“Michael’s authenticity and exceptional listening skills make him an ideal coach. He is great at getting to the essence of your message and guiding you toward how to be most effective with it. I trust him implicitly and highly recommend his talents to anyone seeking a great professional partner. ”

“Michael is a dynamic coach - observant, empathetic and appropriately straightforward, leading you to your goals. His style is respectful and warm, and his deep understanding of both teaching (how to get you to listen!) and communications/marketing (how to drive you to action) is a winning combination when helping people to deliver their best. He demonstrates the very leadership and communications qualities one hopes to attain and offers a wealth of experience and tools to get there. He also happens to be an incredibly good human.”

“Michael is an extraordinary leader, adviser and coach who helps clients realize their vision and achieve their goals. His long track record of achievement in communication combined with his brilliant teaching skills make him the go-to expert for executives looking to enhance their narrative, presence and presentation skills. And Michael is also an absolute pleasure to work with – his passion for client success and his engaging personality complement his outstanding ability to help executives evolve into powerful leaders as they learn how to communicate more effectively, promote their ideas and forge productive business relationships.”

“Michael, in his role as an executive coach to me, has helped me strengthen my leadership and strategic communications for about 10 years. In several of my executive roles in pharmaceutical and medical diagnostics companies, Michael's coaching has added clear and measurable value to my ability to positively impact my teams and customers. I would highly recommend you connect with Michael if you desire to take your leadership and communications to a higher level. As our marketplace continues to grow in complexity, everyone needs a coach to be their best and I can think of no better executive coach than Michael Piperno. ”

“Michael is a born leader in that he brings passion, skill, and a natural pedagogical approach to every setting. He has been a professional mentor to me for over 10 years — during which I have learned the power of personal presence, fastidiousness, and purposeful work. And I’d be remiss not to mention how much fun Michael is to work with :)! Just the best.”

“It was truly a pleasure to work with Michael. He is creative, detail oriented, results driven and provides outstanding customer service. His passion for his work is evident by the exceptional end product he produces. I have worked with Michael on several projects and have always received brilliant results. I have absolute confidence in his abilities and would recommend him to anyone who wants to stand out from their industry peers.”

“Michael is a wondeful creative director -- bright, original, an excellent conceptual thinker across all media (print, electronic media, etc). He works extremely well in collaborative situations, is cutting-edge technologically, and also terrific with clients. And finally, but not incidentally, he is an absolute pleasure to work with.”

“When our consulting agency needs state-of-the-art graphic design on the turn of a dime for a fair price, we turn first to Michael Piperno. Michael’s skill, reliability, and professionalism give us confidence in the quality we offer our clients, thereby strengthening our business. His work always looks great, and he’s a total pleasure to work with. It’s no accident that his business is expanding by leaps and bounds. We recommend Michael frequently and with total confidence.”

“Michael is a true master of his creative craft. I can always count on him to be my last set of eyes before we go live. He offers exceptional creative artistry along with well crafted copy. I recommend him for several projects although if you have an immediate need for an updated website, Michael has proven that he can deliver.”

“Michael is an exceptional creative individual whom I had the opportunity to work with. His insight, attention to detail, and professionalism are noteworthy qualities in which I admire. I recommend Michael's work as a graphic artist and hope to have the opportunity to collobrate with him again in the future.”

“Michael is THE definition of a creative, talented and dedicated business professional. I had the pleasure to work alongside Michael as a colleague at Advanced and I was thrilled when Michael opened his own shop at same time I had moved on to another company that did not have in-house design staff. Michael's high-quality and intriguing designs catch your eye first and his engaging, thoughtful interpersonal communication keep you wanting to work with him that much more. With Michael you always know the project is going to be completed with a high-level of care and expertise. He is a true asset in all initial and ongoing design concept meetings, always bringing with him new ideas and solutions to potential concerns. I whole-heartedly recommend Michael and his team!”

“Michael has been our “go-to” graphics designer since the inception of our company. He has all the attributes a creative person should have and then some. Not only does he develop impactful and visually appealing designs and layouts, but he does so while being fully cognizant of the project timeline and budget. It is unusual to have creativity and business savvy all bottled up in one person…but then there’s Michael!”

“I have worked with Michael in various roles over the years. As a member of the team, a team leader or as a consultant, his knowledge, ideas and creativity have always been a positive force to grow business.”

“I worked with Michael for 2 years while he held the position of Creative Director at Advanced Clinical Communications. I have never worked with someone who combines both creativity and professionalism while working within a time sensitive and stressful environment. Michael offers phenomenal creativity and knows how to speak to individuals (such as myself) that don’t possess the creative mindset and guide them through the process with complete ease. His knowledge of style and design are truly the best due to his ability to know what style and creativity works with the project at hand. With complete 100% support I recommend Michael to handle any job that requires a keen eye, creativity, intelligence and professionalism.”

“I had the opportunity of working with Mike in a home office environment and again when he started his own company. Mike is very professional, delivers quality results, and is easy to work with. When I started my own business in 2006 Mike was who I turned to. He developed my logo, letterhead, business cards, brochure, and web-site; he is amazing, a pleasure to work with!”

“I have hired Michael for many projects and have always been extremely happy with the results. Michael is a true professional whose work is head and shoulders above many designers with whom I have worked. He always delivers on time and within budget and is a pleasure to do business with. I would highly recommend Michael (and have referred him many times) for graphic/Web design projects that will surely impress!”

“Michael and I have worked together on a number of eMarketing projects and CME related activities. He has always been a pleasure to collaborate with. Michael is a creative thinker who brings innovative ideas to any initiative he is working on. His organizational skills are superb and keep all project activities on track. His soft skills are also excellent, allowing him to successfully resolve the issues that arise in any large project. I recommend Michael without hesitation and look forward to working with him again.”
