About:

Educator. Advocate. Coach.

Michael Brick (he/him/his) has always been—and always will be—an educator at heart. He believes in the transformative power of learning and has dedicated his career to helping people navigate complex systems, unlock their potential, and step into their power with confidence.

With over 10 years of coaching experience, Michael has worked with everyone from high school students to executives, guiding them through career transitions, leadership growth, and personal development. He earned his Leadership Coaching for Organizational Performance certification from American University, equipping him with the tools to help individuals make clear, confident decisions about their futures.

His work is rooted in a deep understanding of how systems shape opportunity, and he is committed to dismantling barriers that hold people back - whether in higher education, corporate spaces, or broader societal structures. This passion led him to create Stride in Pride Coaching, a space where LGBTQ+ professionals and allies can gain clarity, build confidence, and move forward with purpose. Michael believes that everyone deserves a safe, productive, and just workplace - one where they can thrive as their authentic selves.

When he’s not coaching, Michael lives just outside Washington, DC, where he enjoys his free time with his husband, son, and dog.
