How Global Master Coach Myke Turns Personal Challenges into Powerful Breakthroughs!
In a world that constantly demands more, more success, more clarity, more resilience, many find themselves overwhelmed, lost in the noise of expectations. For those stuck in cycles of self-doubt and burnout, the idea of becoming their “best self” can feel distant, if not impossible.
This is where Myke Celis steps in.
Based in Manila, Philippines, Myke Celis, M.A., PCC, is not just any coach, he’s a Global Master Coach known for his unique ability to help individuals reconnect with their inner truths. As the founder of Best Me Ever Professional Coaching, Training and Development Services, Myke has empowered countless professionals, creatives, and leaders to embrace authenticity, break free from limiting beliefs, and step into a version of themselves they never imagined possible.
What makes his approach different is not just the certifications or accolades, it’s his story. A journey marked by personal reinvention, Myke turned his own challenges into the cornerstone of a powerful coaching philosophy that blends vulnerability with strategy, and self-awareness with bold action.
Whether guiding a global executive through career reinvention or helping someone rediscover self-worth, Myke’s work reminds us that the best breakthroughs often begin with the hardest breakdowns.
In a world of fast fixes, his mission is enduring: to help people find peace in their purpose and pride in their progress, one mindful step at a time.
After spending 15 years in the marketing and advertising industry, Myke decided to embark on a career in life coaching, something he feels is deeply aligned with his purpose: to speak to inspire. This very belief is the foundation of his coaching platform, #BestMeEver, which helps individuals discover and become their most authentic, unapologetic, and grandest versions of themselves.
Whether he’s coaching, creating inspirational content, writing books and articles, giving talks locally or internationally, hosting on-air, or simply engaging in spontaneous conversations, Myke ensures that his words serve a larger purpose. His mission is clear: to use his voice to uplift, empower, and transform lives for the better.
During one of the darkest chapters of his life, Myke found himself betrayed by a friend of nearly 15 years, left nearly bankrupt, and trapped in a physically abusive relationship. Though painful and overwhelming, pushing him to the brink of suicide, these experiences ultimately became the turning point in his journey.
In those moments of despair, Myke began using the hashtag #bestmeever to share the life lessons he was learning in real-time. His posts resonated deeply with many online, becoming a source of hope and encouragement for those going through similar struggles. One of his followers happened to be a publisher, who offered him the chance to compile his quotes into a book. That opportunity became his first international best-selling title under the #bestmeever brand.
Soon after, a radio guesting opportunity turned into a regular co-hosting role within just two weeks. From there, Myke’s journey soared. With multiple coaching awards, five international bestsellers, and over seven years of experience in coaching and co-hosting, he has helped thousands around the world.
Today, Myke looks back at those moments not with bitterness, but with deep gratitude. What once broke him, ultimately built him, and shaped his life’s mission to help others become their own #bestmeever.
When faced with moments of self-doubt or adversity, Myke chooses to pause. Over the years, he has learned that not everything in life demands immediate resolution. Pausing, for him, is a way to ground himself, to differentiate between what is within his control and what needs to be released. He firmly believes in letting go of the misconception that growth only happens through action. Sometimes, true growth unfolds in stillness.
Myke emphasizes the importance of embracing the space we’re in and allowing ourselves to learn from it. He believes that being fully present is key to appreciating the journey, even when it’s filled with challenges. By focusing only on what he can control and giving his best with whatever resources he has, mentally, emotionally, or physically, he finds a way to keep moving forward. His progress may not always follow conventional timelines, but it is authentic, deliberate, and deeply aligned with who he is.
Myke shares a valuable insight: the moment a speaker steps on stage, every pair of eyes begins to judge, and there’s a small window, just the first two minutes, to win them over. He recalls how, in moments when his message didn’t immediately resonate, he learned the power of establishing common ground early on.
By using relatable examples to spark reflection or conversation, he found that audiences were more likely to connect. Instead of viewing him through a critical lens, they saw parts of themselves in his words. And of course, as he notes with a touch of warmth, a smile, or a bit of humor, never hurts.
Myke shares that he draws from real-life experiences to ensure his speeches remain authentic and relevant. He’s never afraid to be vulnerable in front of a crowd or to ask questions along the way.
He allows himself to simply be genuine and unfiltered. While many speakers may touch on similar themes, Myke believes it’s the purity of intention, the truth and meaning behind each message, and the heartfelt way he delivers them that truly set his storytelling apart.
Myke shares that one of the most common misconceptions about motivation and success is the belief that negative emotions should be avoided and that one must always stay positive. He challenges this narrative by emphasizing the importance of being comfortable with all emotions, whether they are labeled good or bad, because they carry essential lessons.
According to Myke, denying what needs to be felt only hinders growth. He believes that true resolution begins with acknowledgment. By sitting with and understanding our emotions, we gain clarity on why we feel the way we do, allowing us to extract valuable insights for personal development. He also suggests that when someone feels stuck, they should reflect on a past situation they successfully overcame and draw on those learnings to move forward with greater strength.
Myke has always loved Oprah, Tony Robbins, and RuPaul. The common ground among all three is that they speak from the heart and with so much depth.
Myke shares that before stepping on stage, he ensures that whatever personal story he shares no longer triggers him emotionally.
For him, it’s a sign that he has done the necessary inner work to be able to speak from a place of authenticity and authority, without breaking down in front of others. He believes in understanding the responsibility that comes with being a speaker, emphasizing that the purpose of his talk is always to inspire others to become their own #bestmeever.
Myke believes that one of the most significant challenges individuals face when seeking motivation today is their tendency to focus too much on external distractions while neglecting the necessary inner work.
He constantly reminds people to stay focused on their own journey and not be afraid to be the exception to outdated societal rules. His approach empowers individuals to take up space confidently, without placing too much importance on the opinions of others, because, as he sees it, we are all equal at the end of the day.
The Power of “What If”: A Mindset Shift Toward Growth
Myke believes the most undervalued habit or mindset shift that can lead to lasting transformation is asking oneself, “what if?.”He sees immense power in dwelling on possibilities and feeling deserving of each one. According to him, when people begin to see beyond the box, they open themselves up to the amazing growth that awaits them.
Myke shares that he feels the true impact of his work when people reach out months or even years after experiencing his shows, talks, or content to share how their lives have changed because of it.
These heartfelt messages humble him and make him feel honored to have been part of someone’s milestone, no matter how big or small. For him, it has never been about follower counts or the number of likes on a post. What truly matters are the meaningful, life-changing messages that find their way into his inbox.
Myke reflects on a powerful piece of advice he wishes he had received at the start of his career: You can be a work in progress and still be inspiring, so keep going.
There were moments early on when he questioned his worth, especially when sharing stages with global thought leaders and influencers who seemed far more accomplished. But over time, he caught himself and shifted his mindset. He realized he wasn’t there to impress, but to inspire.
That clarity allowed him to fully embrace his own journey and take up space in a way that felt true to who he was.
Myke has always been a strong advocate for self-empowerment, wellness, well-being, inclusivity, and diversity.
He believes these themes will remain deeply relevant in the years ahead, as new challenges and perspectives continue to emerge around them. His goal is to stay at the forefront, guiding others through these evolving conversations with purpose, clarity, and ease.
