Michael Nelson

I’m Michael Nelson, “The Cogent Coach.” As President of Cogent Consulting Group, I’ve had the opportunity and privilege to work with some of industry’s giants and numerous Federal agencies. My consulting work has centered on strategic initiatives and everything that goes into ensuring that a strategy will work. I love big problems and working at an organizational level and consulting has allow me a way to help clients solve their biggest challenges.

I started working with small businesses several years ago and found that all of my consulting experience helping corporate and Federal clients and leadership experience gained from a decade in the Marine Corps enabled me to understand and help small businesses define and achieve their goals. From these beginnings ten years ago, I’ve developed a coaching practice that allows me to bring all of my knowledge, experience, and skills to bear on helping small businesses soar. I love to see how great an impact partnering with a small business owner and leadership team can have on their success.
