Four Worlds Coaching
Scale Your Business Without Losing Yourself
I help founders and executives scale global businesses without sacrificing personal well-being. My 30+ years of international experience have taught me that sustainable success balances four critical worlds: Business, Family, Inner Life, and the Outer World. Sessions are private and confidential.
What Leaders Are Saying
"I've had multiple sessions with Miika. I never realized I could compartmentalize my life, and that there were different approaches to each of those 4 compartments. My life has become more structured, has more focus, and allows me to stay calmer and more in control with what seemed to be uncontrollable earlier."
Karan M.
AI Product Leader
"Miika's ability to blend strategic business guidance with grounded leadership principles has been a game-changer. I'm operating with more confidence, more intentionality, and a renewed sense of purpose across every dimension of my life and companies. Working with him has elevated not just my business but also the way I lead."

You're Winning on Paper, But Something's Missing
You've achieved impressive success – deals are closing, teams are growing, opportunities abound. Yet, a nagging question remains: Why does this success feel so heavy? Your family senses your absence, and constant exhaustion persists despite your best efforts.
After decades building global businesses and raising three children, I've learned: you can't optimize your way out of misalignment. The problem isn't a lack of productivity; it's over-investment in one or two worlds, allowing others—like family, inner life, and daily rhythms—to slowly erode. This imbalance inevitably catches up.
Most executive coaches focus on performance, while therapists address inner patterns. You need someone who understands both: someone who has navigated both global boardrooms and chaotic dinner tables, balancing international deals with being truly present for life's moments.
The Four Worlds Framework
Sustainable success isn't about working harder or wanting it more. It's about maintaining balance across the four interconnected worlds that shape your life. Neglect one too long, and the others eventually pay the price—no matter how hard you're working.
Business World
Strategy, revenue, deals, career decisions, and professional growth. This is where you've likely been over-invested—and it's created your success.
  • International expansion strategy
  • Leadership team development
  • Major career transitions
  • Revenue and growth planning
Family World
Your partner, kids, extended family, and the quality of presence you bring home. The world that suffers most when business consumes you.
  • Partner communication and intimacy
  • Being truly present with children
  • Managing extended family dynamics
  • Creating meaningful traditions
Inner World
Mindset, emotions, spiritual practice, and sense of meaning. The foundation that determines how you show up in every other world.
  • Emotional regulation under pressure
  • Clarity of purpose and meaning
  • Spiritual practice and perspective
  • Identity beyond achievements
Outer World
Your body, energy, environment, and daily routines. The practical foundation that makes everything else sustainable over decades.
  • Physical health and vitality
  • Sleep and recovery practices
  • Daily routines and environment
  • Energy management systems
In our first session, we'll map your Four Worlds—identifying where you're over-invested and where you've been neglecting critical areas. Then we'll create a practical roadmap to bring them back into balance, with 1-2 concrete commitments in each world every month. No massive overhauls. Just consistent, realistic shifts that compound over time.
Why I Built This Practice
My name is Miika. I'm a Silicon Valley veteran, with experience at large enterprises and scrappy start-ups. For over 30 years, I built businesses across Europe, Asia, and the United States, navigating complex international landscapes and experiencing both the exhilaration and exhaustion of constant global demands.
During my 20+ years in California, my ex-wife and I raised three children, and eventually saw them head to college to excel in their fields in Europe and the U.S.. I intimately understand the cost of ambition, often feeling like a ghost in my own home, missing crucial family moments for career demands, and grappling with the guilt of prioritizing professional success over personal presence.
Seventeen years ago, I began a serious spiritual practice. This inner work became the foundation for sustainable success, making me more present, clear, and capable in business and family life, rather than an escape from its demands.
Now, I leverage this unique blend of international business acumen, real-world family dynamics, and spiritual depth to guide leaders facing similar challenges. My aim is to help them scale their impact without sacrificing health, relationships, or self, offering not just frameworks, but a proven path forward from someone who has lived it.
Who I Work With
High-Performing Parents in Tech & Startups
Ambitious parents (35-55) in tech/startups, you're successful but burdened by guilt, burnout, and absence from family moments. I understand the demands of scaling a company and raising children simultaneously, offering a proven path to presence and impact without sacrifice.
Senior Executives at a Crossroads
You're facing major transitions—a new role, starting a company, or semi-retirement—and asking deeper questions about meaning beyond achievements. I provide strategic and spiritual guidance to navigate complex business decisions while exploring purpose and identity.
Leaders Building Across Borders
You're scaling internationally, managing teams across continents, and exhausted by constant context-switching and cultural navigation. With 30+ years in Europe, Asia, and the US, I offer real-world expertise to navigate global expansion and cross-cultural leadership challenges, maintaining your center amidst complexity.
The 90-Day Life & Business Reset
This is my flagship 1:1 coaching program for founders and executives who are at a crossroads or feeling stretched beyond capacity. Over 90 days, we'll work together to create clarity on your next 12–18 months, make concrete changes to how you spend your time and energy, and bring your Four Worlds back into sustainable balance.
What's Included
  • One deep-dive kick-off session (90–120 minutes) where we map your Four Worlds, identify where you're over-invested and under-invested, and establish your core priorities for the next quarter
  • Weekly 60-minute coaching sessions for 12 weeks combining strategic business guidance with inner work and practical life design
  • Async support via WhatsApp or Signal for real-time decisions, challenges, and breakthroughs as they happen—because leadership doesn't wait for scheduled sessions
  • Customized frameworks and exercises tailored to your specific situation, industry, and goals
What You'll Walk Away With
01
Crystal-clear 12–18 month direction
You'll know exactly where you're headed in your business and life, with a roadmap that accounts for all Four Worlds—not just your professional goals.
02
Concrete changes in calendar, commitments, and habits
We don't just talk about balance—we redesign how you actually spend your time, what you say yes and no to, and which daily practices keep you grounded.
03
Improved communication with partner, kids, or team
You'll develop new ways of showing up in your most important relationships, with practical tools for presence, boundaries, and authentic connection.
04
A sustainable operating system for your life
You'll have a personalized framework for maintaining balance even as demands increase—so you can scale your impact without scaling your stress.
Ongoing "Inner Board of Directors" Support
After the 90-Day Reset, some leaders choose to continue with an ongoing support relationship. Think of me as a member of your inner board of directors—someone you can turn to regularly for both strategic business guidance and deeper questions about leadership, meaning, and life design.
How It Works
  • Two 60-minute sessions per month scheduled at your convenience, with flexibility to adjust based on what's happening in your business and life
  • Unlimited async support via voice notes and messages for real-time decisions and challenges
  • Quarterly Four Worlds check-ins to ensure you're maintaining balance and staying aligned with your deeper priorities
  • Strategic counsel on major decisions—whether that's a business pivot, international expansion, team restructuring, or personal life transition
Who This Is For
Leaders who've experienced the value of having a trusted advisor who understands both the business complexities they're navigating and the inner work required to lead with clarity and presence. You don't need coaching on everything—but you want consistent access to someone who can help you think through the decisions that matter most, while ensuring you don't lose yourself in the process of building something great.
This relationship typically begins after completing the 90-Day Reset, though experienced leaders with a strong foundation in inner work sometimes start here directly.
What Makes This Different
Real-World Experience Across Continents
I've spent 30+ years building businesses across Europe, Asia, and the United States. I understand the unique challenges of international expansion, cross-cultural leadership, and scaling across borders—not from case studies, but from decades of lived experience navigating complex deals, diverse teams, and vastly different business cultures.
I'm a Father of Three Who Gets It
I've raised three children while building an international career. I know what it's like to miss bedtimes for client calls, to feel guilty about another business trip, and to be physically present but mentally elsewhere during family time. I've navigated the real tensions between ambition and presence—and I can help you do it better than I did.
17 Years of Serious Spiritual Practice
This isn't surface-level mindfulness or corporate meditation programs. I've engaged in deep contemplative practice for nearly two decades—not as an escape from the demands of business and family, but as the foundation that made sustainable success possible. I bring genuine spiritual depth without the woo-woo, helping you cultivate inner stability, perspective, and meaning.
Strategic + Spiritual Integration
Most executive coaches focus exclusively on business performance. Most therapists focus entirely on your inner world. I work at the intersection—helping you make smart strategic decisions while also addressing the deeper questions of identity, meaning, and how to stay whole while building something significant. You get both the business acumen and the spiritual depth, seamlessly integrated.
