Work With UsAt the Intersection of Energy and Human Potential
Michael Thornhill has spent his career at the intersection of energy and human potential. He began in oil and gas recruitment before moving into renewables, where he co-founded and built Rebalance Germany before selling the business and taking a deliberate step away from the industry to travel the world.
He spent the following eight years working in conscious leadership coaching and transformational facilitation, sitting with executives, founders, coaches, and leaders in transition in some of the most honest and demanding conversations of his career.
In 2025 he returned to renewable energy, contracting through Rebalance to provide specialist recruitment and talent services across the sector. The Renewable Energy Leadership Podcast followed in 2026. The coaching work never stopped.
"The energy transition needs more than technical expertise. It needs leaders who can hold complexity, inspire trust, and make decisions that matter, for their organisations and for the planet."
