About Hayden Lee MCC
Bio schmio. If you want my long, formal, boring, professional bio, you can read it below. Yes, I am one of the most accomplished and experienced coaches in the world. But that’s not what makes me interesting, and that’s not why I am one of most powerful coaches you will ever meet.
My whole life, people have commented on how much they love my energy. Yup, you know those really positive, fun loving, wacky guys who dominate the dance floor at weddings?!
Yeah, I am THAT guy.
I’m a little quirky, a little weird, always down for a good laugh, and I have A LOT OF ENERGY!
I am also super competitive, intuitive, passionate, smart, professional, and on a mission to fight for people’s dreams!
From being a straight A student, to being student body President, to being told I’m weird, to winning a scholarship to Space Camp, to being Editor-in-Chief of the high school yearbook, to entering college with pre-med in mind then switching majors to Psychology and Theatre and graduating with honors, to worrying about disappointing my parents, to moving to Los Angeles and working as a professional actor, to getting rejected daily after auditions, to working as a tutor for teens, to waiting tables, to formal coach training, to igniting the fire inside me to change the world through coaching, to speaking on the world stage about personal and professional development, to wavering from indestructible self-confidence to occasional bouts of insecurity, to coaching some of the most brilliant people on Earth. Yeah, what you just read is part of my real bio.
