With thousands of men and women coached since 2012, Mycal is a Performance Consultant, Marine Corps veteran, husband, father of two, and a leader in the realms of fitness and mindset. With nearly 25 years of strategic leadership experience, backed by multiple graduate degrees from Arizona State and Thunderbird School of Global Management, Mycal understands the struggles leaders and people of influence face—especially when it comes to making themselves a priority in the pursuit of success. As a Birkman Certified Performance Consultant, keynote speaker, bestselling author, and podcast host, Mycal is committed to helping others build a life of purpose, health, and fulfillment. Mycal founded Next Level Performance Consulting to build the fittest leaders by empowering business leaders, executives and entrepreneurs to create alignment between habits & goals in order to prioritize their health and eliminate stress! Mycal’s Vision: A world in which leaders show up as the most highest and most confident version of themselves. Living in abundance & fulfillment. In addition to the individual leader, Next Level has the ability to assess the individuals on a team, and how they interact at an organizational level. We are able to identify points of friction and, most importantly, the complimentary elements that will move the needle for the team. This empowers the organization to do two things: embrace a culture of honest conflict, and rid the organization of dishonest harmony. Nothing is more detrimental to the success of a team than unmet and miscommunicated expectations, immediately followed by systemic “presenteeism” in which members of the team show up, do the minimum required and simply go through the motions. Next Level has evolved organizational efficiency by identifying the necessity for the right people in the right roles doing the right work! Further, when those three components are accounted for and those individuals are playing to their strengths in their respective genius, they become a force multiplier for the team! Once the right people are in the right roles doing the right work, its time to get everyone moving in the same direction, and it all starts with leadership! The Next Level mantra is "Progress Always" because the journey is ongoing and the greatest stories are told through the process that is life. The story is in the logo. Why the 4th Star incomplete? Firstly, the stars are representative of Mycal’s military roots and service to others before self. The highest rank one can achieve in military service is symbolized by 4 stars. The Next Level stars also represent what we should all be trying to achieve: our highest and best self. Stacked upon the foundation of your physical body, emotional, mental and spiritual states of being. The 4th star is broken because we will forever be a work in progress. This is a never ending journey. Founder of Next Level, coach and keynote speaker, Mycal has been featured on the Radio Business X Podcast, Barbell Shrugged, Barbell Business, Gym Lords, Theta Wave, Paradise Valley Lifestyle Magazine, Team Red, White & Blue's "The Eagle" Podcast, and is a regularly featured speaker for Charles Schwab and Amazon.
