We had the great pleasure of bringing Michael in to APEX Brain Centers to facilitate a full day of core values creation and strategic planning for 2021.Ive known Michael for years and have always been impressed by his knowledge, intuition, and passion for helping others perform at their absolute best; while having fun doing it!He listened to the needs of the business, the team, and the individual; allowing for all to feel a genuine sense of contribution to the greater good and to the world.We are very excited about our continued journey with him, and expect nothing but the highest of professional and personal returns with his expert guidance.Highest praise for Michael and his services - he would be a great asset for you and your organization!

Arc Integrated provided the type of guidance that I didnt even know that I was looking for. We have an ever expanding company in a challenging industry and sometimes we lose sight of the best ways to lead our teams. Through our sessions I was able to develop new ways to engage the team and we are better off for it. He challenged me on many fronts and ultimately helped me to become a better leader, and helped me to see that this is an ever evolving process and a life long commitment.

I would recommend Arc Integrated to anyone who is simply trying to improve their effectiveness as a manager and a leader. Michael will force you to think deeply about situations, answer some tough questions about yourself, and drill down on those areas he is able to identify as having an opportunity for improvement. I continue to put into practice on a weekly basis, many of the things I learned from my time with Michael and Arc Integrated. I can see a big difference in the growth of my staff, their move into a more proactive management style, and their willingness to accept accountability for their areas of responsibility.

Michael, you helped set the stage for stronger communication within our team. The benefits were across the board on all levels of the team, and the entire team enjoyed the process of setting up better communication. Overall great experience. Thank you.

Michael and Arc Integrated added a great value to our Executive team and my personal executive coaching. Michael had a great memory of recalling previous discussions and we also tackled topics in a bite size approach with takeaways and action items for accountability.

Michael is a great listener and gives a lot of food for thought about how someone working with him can set goals and meet them. I really appreciated the connections he helped me make between my personal life and my work. His support for meditation was great for me in the moment that I was working for him. Id highly recommend his services for anyone who wants to improve their job and personal performance.

Michael is amazing! Such a wonderful company

Our Executive Leadership Team has worked closely with Michael for the past year and the results of this engagement have had a profound impact on our company. We utilize the many of the strategies that we have learned from him on a daily basis as what he has to offer is practical and implementable.Individual and group coaching has helped us to improve our communication skills and function on a higher level as a leadership team.

Ive really enjoyed working with Michael and his team. Participating in the ARC Integrated Leadership Group has been a very supportive and engaging experience. The obvious benefit of the program, for me, was becoming a better/more effective leader, coach and professional.However, the real strength of the program is the interaction with other dedicated leaders who share their knowledge, are concerned about your growth just as much as their growth, and the check-in with each other keeping us on track and accountable. I would recommend to anyone interested in personal growth and improving as a leader.

Michaels insight has been integral to the growth of my business. I consistently lean on his knowledge and understanding of team dynamics and client engagement. My personal and professional growth potential has risen exponentially! Thank you Michael for all you do to support our cause!! Jared Kay: Founder - Amplified Media Inc.

I really enjoyed being part of Michaels presentation on leadership and team building. Michael is an engaging presenter. He has a lot of experiential exercises that keeps the crowd engaged, he asks a ton of questions that evokes great conversation and his presentation is clear, simple and easy to remember - CHANGES.I am looking forward to seeing him present again and also be his co-presenter!

Michael is an incredible business coach. I always feel like I gain a new sense of self when we dig into topics together during our coaching sessions. He has also educated me on different outlooks and perspectives of business ownership and what makes a business successful longterm. I highly recommend his services and believe his coaching methods would have a positive impact on any type of business owner.

Arc Integrated is an incredible resource to build and coach on team dynamics. Michael did a workshop with our team that focused on developing our understand of personal communication and behavioral/performance styles for each team member. Through the assessments that we all took and his support of creating a safe environment for us to openly share on our commonalities and differences, we were able to create a set of commitments for us all to live by in the workplace, emphasizing more care and attention on our communication quality. Not only with one another but with the community we serve as well. We were all highly impressed with his professionalism, preparedness, and his ability to remain present with what came up for the team. Our team really enjoyed the content of what came out of the assessments as well which Michael delivered and explained extremely well, and its a lot of information! We are excited to have Michael back in the future to continue this great work!

I worked with Michael at Arc Integrated for several months in late 2017 and early in 2018 after a job loss that led me into a difficult transition to something new. Michael is gifted at many moves that coaches are trained in; making use of questions, reflections, guidance, and appropriate silences that evoke deeper participation of the client. But his greatest gift is a curious, compassionate, affirming, encouraging, and spacious presence that no tools or techniques can replace.I felt a synergistic dynamic with Michael that I believe his presence contributed to, and I am grateful for his help that brought more clarity and motivation. But more importantly, our work together imbued a sense of confidence in myself that continues to grow, and informed my own work as a coach. I would not hesitate to return to him if I needed to, and I highly recommend his services.

My experience with Michael and ARC Integrated was wonderful! I used both the personal coaching and the team development that he offers. In the personal coaching I found his insights and guidance to be extremely useful to grow myself as a professional and also help discover my role within our team. I definitely recommend working with Michael if you are ready to take yourself to the next level!

The coaching sessions that I have had with Michael have been tremendously rewarding. They have helped increase my level of mindfulness, and in having done that, I am continually aware of how I receive, process, and react to information and stimuli. More importantly, I am mindful of the fact that I have the ability to make a conscience CHOICE in how I respond. This level of mindfulness has served me well in my daily professional and personal interactions - having significantly improved both.

Michael is a top-notch coach: intelligent, professional, compassionate, and resourceful. Working with ARC Integrated has helped me become a better entrepreneur! Highly recommend.

Great overall experience! Michael provided valuable insight into my personality and where my strengths/weaknesses lie -especially in regards to my sales profession. I encourage everyone to speak and schedule workshops or sessions to move your individual self or your company forward.

The fact that Michael is a therapist turned coach gives him a completely different lense and perspective as a coach.I love how he is able to combine his knowledge as a therapist, and use it in the coaching industry. This really gives him a cutting advantage as so many therapeutic skills are necessary to run an effective business.

Working with Michael was what took my start up business from a slow beginning to “real” in 6 months. He has amazing insight and perception. He empowered me to believe in myself as a true entrepreneur!

I had the pleasure of getting to spend a couple of hours with Micheal as he reviewed several tests that I had taken to help me assess my decision making process and my values. Michael is incredibly authentic in his communication as well as knowledgeable and insightful. He helped me to understand how I process information and how to best use this knowledge to progress forward both at home and at work. Every business, no matter how small, should work with Michael to assess these areas either before they grow, or when they are ready to have their employees in the best positions for who they are. Priceless information for a business to have!

Michael does a phenomenal job in his work as a coach. We worked with him in a team setting and as individuals. His ability to facilitate and guide conversations is unique and very effective!

I saw Michael speak at the Not the Typical Psychotherapist Conference and he knocked my socks off! His energy and expertise in leadership and team building is *just* what I needed to hear to feel empowered in making decisions to lead my business in a heart-centered direction.

Michael is a dynamic speaker who commands the attention of the room with his grounded interaction, engagement, experience and wisdom. I always enjoy being in his audiences and experiencing the vastness of his knowledge and gifts related to leadership and human development.

When you meet Michael, you will feel instantly comfortable in his presence. His passion for his clients wellness and empowerment is authentic and contagious. He is a powerhouse of positive!

I had the opportunity to meet Michael in Asheville in person last year and weve had him as a guest expert on our podcast, The Private Practice Startup. Michael is super passionate about working with professionals through executive coaching and consulting. Keep up the great work!

Michael Diettrich-Chastain at ARC Integrated has honed the art of listening. I took advantage of his Advanced Insight Profile in order to better understand our workplace needs as to growth, hiring, and systems. His upfront assessment, and the in-depth review was laser focused on exactly the behavior, value and communication style necessary to execute on an exceptional hire. Id highly recommend his services and have already referred him to a colleague, and plan on additional assessments for our employees to create a language around workplace success and performance metrics. Thank you Michael, highly impressed.

Michael spoke at our October regional meeting. He was engaging, energetic and very knowledgeable. We would definitely have him back!

With Michaels Leadership Coaching skills and tool-bag of techniques, Michael has helped my Team reach a higher level of performance and communication.

Great experience with Michael and Arc Integrated!

Great job counselor. Helped coach me to a great job, even though I was all the way up in D.C.

Michael facilitated the team sharing and building in a very comfortable and effective in a down-to-earth, yet very professional manner. The SHiFT Team and the individuals within the team were able to transparently gain insight into dynamics that occur in our working environment which are both natural and adaptive. All team members felt results based on the profiles were accurate and exercises during the gathering and into the future were created to continue productive results within the relationships, which in turn will boost the best results for our clients. Michael does an excellent job facilitating the process while allowing plenty of time to allow for an organic interaction to take place and set the time for further team-building. Even if you think your working environment is a well-oiled machine, I guarantee Michael’s skill level and expertise will happily surprise you and your organization. The workbook does not collect dust on a shelf when the facetime is over, but helps continue to facilitate the team when creating individual and team goals regarding communication, productivity, strengths and aspects to improve within the group. Great use of time and money to launch, refresh, or problem-solve more effective working environments.Thanks MichaelDoug HutchmanSHiFT Brain IntegrationI continued to see Michael for individual coaching and received effective and worthwhile strategies. Michael was quick to help me stay accountable and provided ideas to continue to help me think of ways in which to meet my potential.

Michael Diettrich-Chastain is a caring dedicated and knowledgable therapist who helps the clients in his care. I had the opportunity to spend an entire weekend with him at a workshop in San Diego. You really get to know someone doing that. He has an incredible passion for what he does, gives to others and has the knowledge to help those clients in his care have a life and relationship that makes individuals and couples feel secure and more joyful in their life. I have found Michael to be a warm caring helping professional. If you are in need of individual or joint counseling Michael is the guy to see.

Michael is a fantastic coach! I made genuine progress under his guidance.
