His journey into coaching was deeply personal. Before becoming a coach, Myke worked in marketing and advertising. While his professional life was moving forward, he also faced painful personal experiences that changed the direction of his life. He went through betrayal from a close friend and experienced a physically abusive relationship. Those difficult moments became a turning point for him. During that period, he discovered coaching and experienced firsthand how it could help someone rebuild confidence, gain clarity, and move forward with purpose.
As someone whose life was transformed through coaching, Myke decided to leave his previous career and fully dedicate himself to helping others. He studied coaching in Bangkok, Thailand, and later earned accreditation from the International Coaching Federation. From there, he worked hard to build his credentials, gain experience, and create a coaching practice centered on authenticity and transformation.
“Every person deserves to be seen, heard, valued, and celebrated for who they truly are.”
Today, Myke is not only a successful coach but also an author, radio anchor, television host, and advocate for inclusivity. He is the author of the bestselling #bestmeever book series, which encourages people to embrace self-growth and personal empowerment. He also hosts Rainbow Radyo, the only LGBTQIA+ themed radio program in the Philippines, and appears on television through Rise and Shine Pilipinas for the segment Usapang W.A.W., which focuses on wellness and wellbeing.
For Myke, transformational coaching is about helping people gain complete clarity about themselves, their struggles, and their goals. He believes that once people understand themselves better and take responsibility for their choices, they can begin creating the life they truly deserve. His coaching focuses on guiding individuals toward becoming confident, authentic, and unapologetic about who they are.
Most of Myke’s clients are celebrities, top executives, entrepreneurs, and highly successful professionals. Despite their achievements, many of them struggle with self-doubt, pressure, or feelings of limitation created by society’s expectations. Myke lovingly refers to his clients as his “Unicorns” because he sees them as unique individuals with extraordinary potential. His goal is to help them break free from limiting beliefs and fully embrace the grandest version of themselves.
What makes Myke’s coaching style different is his honest and direct approach. He combines tough love with genuine care and encouragement. He believes real transformation requires action, discipline, and commitment. While he motivates his clients, he also pushes them to take accountability and do the necessary work to create meaningful change in their lives.
His impact as a coach goes far beyond professional success stories. One of the achievements that means the most to him is helping save more than twenty people from committing suicide. Knowing that he was able to help people rediscover hope and continue living meaningful lives remains one of the greatest rewards of his career. At the same time, many of his clients have gone on to become award-winning entrepreneurs, successful executives, recording artists, actors, and respected coaches themselves.
“Clarity, courage, and commitment are the foundations of becoming your best self.”
Myke believes progress is not always measured by huge milestones. Sometimes, it is about taking one small step at a time. For him, success in coaching comes from seeing clients gain clarity, confidence, and the courage to move forward. He understands that transformation is a process, and he takes that journey together with his clients.
Despite his achievements, Myke continues to invest in learning and personal growth. He strongly believes that education and self-improvement never stop. Currently, he is pursuing a PhD in Guidance Counseling at the University of the Philippines Diliman to further strengthen his coaching practice. He also attends learning sessions and programs organized by the International Coaching Federation to stay updated with the latest trends and developments in the coaching industry.
Beyond coaching, Myke has a bigger vision for the future. He hopes to create a global media platform that combines coaching, inclusivity, and empowerment. Through television, radio, and digital platforms, he wants to promote personal transformation while also giving a voice to the LGBTQIA+ community and other marginalized sectors of society. He believes every person deserves to be seen, heard, respected, and celebrated regardless of who they are or where they come from.
At the center of Myke Celis’s work is a powerful message of self-worth and possibility. His journey from personal pain to purposeful impact reflects the true essence of transformation. Through his coaching, advocacy, and media presence, he continues to inspire people to believe in themselves and create lives filled with meaning, authenticity, and courage.
“Transformation begins the moment people choose themselves without fear.”
