Explore CoachingAt 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 a specialist renewable energy recruitment business in Europe before selling it 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.
Today his focus is utility-scale BESS, grid interconnection, and HV/MV infrastructure across North America. The Renewable Energy Leadership Podcast launched 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."
