Aloha! I’m Mike “Hedro” Hethcock. I am a retired Air Force officer with 25+ years of leadership experience. Ever felt like there was something holding you back from growth? I would love to help you crush your work life and thrive at home. As an executive leadership coach, my framework is built for anyone looking to get unstuck, level up their work game, and repair or maximize any relationship. Let’s do this!!!

  • “Mike Hethcock embodies what a professional coach should be. His 20 years’ experience as an active duty officer combined with his insatiable desire to help people achieve their goals and become better human beings makes him a superstar in the field of coaching.  He personally coached me over the course of several years asking thoughtful questions, listening to my answers, and then offering new and exciting tools and insights that made me a better officer, leader, and person.  I would not be where I am today without his coaching wisdom!”

The Firm Foundation COACHING METHOD

  • Who

    It all starts by truly understanding who you are, where you are headed, and how you are wired — this sets you on a firm foundation

  • HOW

    Next, we will climb from surviving to thriving by leveraging your super powers and developing strategies for when you face an impasse

  • WHY

    Once you are thriving, we then clarify your purpose and calling in life and take steps toward creating a legacy while living a life of gratitude and purpose
