A coach. Every day. For the whole of you.
Every morning you receive a key that unlocks a part of you. Short teachings and practices that go chamber by chamber, opening you up. You learn from your past, love your present, and live toward your future, with a Vault coach as your guide.
The Vault Approach
Full Circle. One year. Gates not dates.
You being you.
You healing you.
You planning you.The year moves through eleven chambers, one part of your life at a time: your past, your present and your future. Along the way are nine gates, and each one opens when a daily practice stops being something you try and becomes something you live.
Learn · Love · Live
Start where life is loudest.

The presentLoving your presentConnected to yourself and the people around you.
The futureLiving your futurePossibility, purpose and the legacy you leave.Every part of your life is connected, so we begin with whatever is asking for you most right now. From there you learn from where you have been, love where you are, and live toward where you are going.

Finish where life is quietest.
A softer view of how hard the world is.
The world is loud, and it can leave the best of us feeling small. Here, at the quiet end of the day, you get to be big again: empowered instead of worn down, seen for who you really are, and heard all the way to the end of what you have to say.
And as you finish, you feel
How it works
Three steps.
Start free. Meet your coach. Then choose your plan.
Start free
Sign up for free access: a welcome letter and short video from your coach, the Vault Key in your inbox, and your first module. No card.
Meet your coach
Book a free 30-minute virtual conversation with your coach. It is part of your free assessment: no payment, no pitch, just where you are and where to start.
Choose your plan
Most people begin with the monthly membership: the year-long coaching modules, a key a day, in the Vault Keys archive, plus a live monthly call led by your coach on that month’s chamber.
A year from now
What changes.
You can see the patterns you learned, and you choose which ones to keep.
Present with yourself and the people you love, not just near them.
A future you chose, and a life worth handing on.
Your coach
Russ Michaels
An attorney and a twenty-year operator who coaches from the whole picture: how you were built, how you are living, and what you intend to leave. He chose and ordered every key.
Sometimes we meet life where it is, not where we are. We hold that together.
Five ways to be coached
Coaching that fits your life.
What people say about Russ
In their own words.
He sees things in people they often can't see in themselves, and asks the questions no one else is willing to ask, with enough warmth that you actually want to answer.
He draws people in, challenges how they think, and makes space for things that don't ordinarily get said. You leave thinking differently about yourself.
He can walk straight into the most uncomfortable conversation in the room without making anyone feel attacked, and leave everyone's dignity intact.
I've seen him in situations where almost anyone else would have lost their composure. There's a steadiness to him that changes the room.
I've never once questioned whether he had my back. Sometimes he was the one most willing to tell me what I didn't want to hear.
