About Us

Grounded in neuroscience and psychology, I coach people and teams to move beyond burnout and into true thriving — at work and in life

Why We Are Called "Invictus"

“Invictus” comes from an old Scottish poem about standing tall with dignity, self-agency, and grace — choosing how you live your life, no matter the challenges that come your way.

That spirit is at the heart of Invictus.


We help people and teams not just perform at a higher level, but thrive — with clarity, balance, and purpose. Grounded in neuroscience, psychology, and evidence-based tools, we guide individuals and organizations to:

  • Find a compelling vision.

  • Build the mindset, habits, and skills to achieve it.

  • Create lasting transformation that sustains growth and well-being.

Because thriving isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about creating mastery, meaning, and resilience in the way you work and live.

Who I Am

I’m Michael Schiel — a High Performance Coach and Transformation Consultant.

For more than two decades, I’ve worked with leaders, professionals, and community organizations across Canada to help people perform at their best and live lives that feel meaningful.

What I Do

I combine neuroscience, psychology, and high-performance strategies with hands-on coaching and consulting. I help people and teams:

  • Gain clarity on their vision, values, and purpose.

  • Build the mindset, habits, and skills for thriving performance.

  • Design transformation plans that create lasting change.

My Skills and Approach

My background spans leadership development, organizational consulting, team culture, and one-on-one coaching.

What sets my work apart is the integration of evidence-based science with practical tools people can use right away.

I don’t just teach strategy — I guide people through implementing and sustaining it, so they achieve growth that lasts.

Why it Matters

I believe success shouldn’t come at the cost of well-being. True thriving means living with balance, clarity, and contribution — creating mastery and meaning in the process, not just chasing outcomes.

My Personal Philosophy

My philosophy is simple: thriving isn’t about doing more — it’s about creating mastery, meaning, and contribution in the way we live and work.

I believe success without balance is empty, and performance without purpose is unsustainable. That’s why I help people and teams find clarity, align with their values, and build the habits and systems that allow them to flourish.

My work is guided by neuroscience, psychology, and high-performance research — but also by a belief that growth is deeply human.

I believe freedom, connection, and contribution matter more than competition.

I teach people not just how to achieve more, but how to build lives and organizations that sustain well-being, resilience, and long-term success
