Michael Bungay Stanier is the founder and Principal of Box of Crayons (www.BoxOfCrayons.biz), a company that works with organizations and teams around the world to help them do less Good Work and more Great Work.
Their clients range from AstraZeneca to Xerox and are based in North America, Europe and Australia. They have particular expertise with blue chip organizations in the professional service, pharmaceutical and consumer goods market sectors. Box of Crayons uses the technologies of coaching, team effectiveness, organizational change and innovation to help clients meet their goals and do Great Work.
Michael was the 2006 Canadian Coach of the Year. He was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, and holds a Masters of Philosophy from Oxford, and law and arts degrees with highest honors from the Australian National University.
He created Get Unstuck & Get Going on the stuff that matters (www.GetUnstuckAndGetGoing.com), a multi-award-winning coaching program and tool that’s being used in organizations around the world. Leading management thinker Peter Block says it has “a quiet political message in it that coaching is available to all of us and is not a profession but a way of being with each other.”
He also created The Eight Irresistible Principles of Fun (www.EightPrinciples.com) and The 5 ¾ Questions You’ve Been Avoiding, (www.fivebigquesitons.com), short internet movies that have been seen by well over a million people in at least 175 countries around the world.
Michael is a popular speaker at business and coaching conferences. He has been a speaker at the last three International Coaching Federation conferences, and in the last twelve months has spoken to audiences in Mumbai, Montreal, Melbourne and Minneapolis (just to focus on the Ms).
He is a member of the Innovation Igniter Faculty, a program established to help organizations introduce and sustain innovation as a core competency.
Prior to founding Box of Crayons, Michael held senior positions in the corporate, consultancy and agency worlds in the UK, the United States and Canada.
Michael supports a number of non profit organizations, including
• Founding Board member of the Coach Initiative, an organization committed to bringing the power of coaching to non-profit organizations
• The Constituent Advisory Committee for About Face International, a non-profit organization working with people with facial differences.
• A facilitator for The World Council, an organization that helps enrol youth in a vision for global harmony.
