About Michael

Michael Kocurek is a seasoned sales professional, business leader, speaker, and coach with more than two decades of experience driving growth, building teams, and equipping leaders and individuals for success. His career has been marked not only by results but by a consistent passion for helping people reach their potential.

In the sales arena, Michael distinguished himself early and often. He earned recognition as Regional Salesperson of the Year, received the President’s Club Award twice, became an eight-time Quotabuster Award winner, and was honored as a National Leader in Digital Sales as well as for Excellence in Customer Service. These achievements reflect his drive, discipline, and ability to connect with clients at every level.

But Michael’s calling extended beyond personal achievement. In 2012, he launched his own speaking and consulting business, working with a variety of organizations: including a large restaurant chain, schools, a healthcare association, a law firm, and several individual professionals, helping them sharpen leadership and communication skills. This step revealed his deeper purpose: equipping others to grow, lead, and thrive.

Seeking to deepen his real-world leadership experience, Michael transitioned in 2016 into a senior leadership role as Vice President of Sales for a $16 million commercial furniture company. There, he led a team of twelve sales and design professionals, established a leadership team, opened a new market in El Paso, Texas, trained staff in DISC principles, and drove record-breaking sales of $22 million within three years. His leadership was marked not just by numbers but by a culture of growth, accountability, and collaboration.

Alongside his corporate success, Michael founded StyleFlex Leadership, where his passion for people takes center stage. As a John Maxwell Team Member, a Certified Behavioral Life Coach, and an expert in the DISC model of human behavior, he blends practical business experience with proven behavioral insights to help leaders understand how they are wired, strengthen their emotional intelligence, and apply these insights to achieve real and lasting results.

Michael focuses on bringing value, sparking growth, and igniting confidence in leadership. Anchored in faith, fueled by service, and always ready to inspire others to level up in business and in life, he equips people to move forward with clarity, courage, and stronger people skills building deeper connections, navigating conflicts more effectively, and accelerating both personal and professional success.”

Michael’s mission is simple: to help leaders grow themselves, expand their confidence, and deliver results that make a lasting impact.
