Wayne D. Mizerak is a passionate coach dedicated to helping middle managers aged 40-55 regain control of their emotions, foster healthier team dynamics, and rediscover joy in both their personal and professional lives. Wayne’s mission stems from his own challenges early in life, including losing his hearing in first grade and enduring speech difficulties that isolated him from his peers. Overcoming these hurdles with the support of speech therapists and his family’s unwavering belief in a fresh start, he thrived academically, socially, and athletically at a private military school and later earned admission to a top-tier engineering program. These formative experiences shaped his deep empathy for others and his ability to navigate complex, high-stakes situations with clarity and resilience. With nearly 40 years of professional experience as a high school math and science teacher and an environmental engineer for New York State, Wayne has honed his skills in leading teams, resolving conflict, and communicating effectively with diverse audiences. Whether presenting complex technical data to the public or finding common ground among conflicting interests, Wayne earned a reputation for his fairness, empathy, and ability to adapt strategies to meet the needs of every group he worked with. Wayne’s journey has not been without challenges. His personal and professional trials, especially in navigating difficult interpersonal dynamics, refined his ability to manage negativity and cultivate inner peace amid chaos. He has developed a unique approach to processing emotions, addressing anxiety, and finding solutions that balance practical limitations with theoretical insights. Wayne combines these skills with a capacity for deep listening, patience, and problem-solving to support clients in their pursuit of emotional resilience and personal growth. Outside of his professional life, Wayne finds joy in playing golf and tennis, writing, and playing the piano, organ, and trombone. He is passionate about journaling and reflecting on the lessons learned from life's challenges and victories. He describes his approach as finding resonance in dissonance—turning life’s challenges into opportunities for understanding and transformation. With a combination of technical expertise, emotional intelligence, and an exceptional ability to lead with empathy, Wayne empowers his clients to embrace their strengths, grow through adversity, and live a more balanced and fulfilling life.
