Mike

Hickerson

Executive Coach

Mike Hickerson is an executive coach with Novus Global, partnering with high-capacity leaders who are navigating complexity, growth, and high-stakes decision-making. He works with CEOs, founders, senior executives, pastors, and creative leaders who are successful on paper but sense there is a deeper level of clarity, maturity, and impact available to them.

Mike’s coaching integrates identity, integrity, and vision with practical execution. He helps leaders close the gap between who they are and how they lead—so their decisions, relationships, and organizations become more aligned, resilient, and effective. 

In addition to his coaching work, Mike serves as the Lead Pastor of Mission Church in Ventura, California, where leadership is not theoretical but lived publicly and tested daily. This dual role gives him uncommon credibility and perspective, blending spiritual depth with real-world leadership demands.

Mike believes transformation happens when leaders become grounded in purpose, guided by wisdom, and committed to decisive, courageous action.

Patrick Professional Basketball Player

When I started working with Mike, I was recovering from a serious knee injury sustained during my first professional basketball year that ended my season early. Mike guided me through the mental side of things, especially visualization and looking at things from a different perspective compared to how I looked at them before. He was fully engaged and came prepared to all our meetings. He helped me work through the mental part of the game and sharpen those mental skills, and also taught me a different way to look at things both in sport and outside of it.

Mike helped me move from constant activity to real clarity. Our coaching created space to wrestle with vision, fears, and deeper desires, while turning them into concrete commitments. His relational, grace-filled style cuts through to what actually matters.
