Our Team
Leadership Team
Mike McKay
After 28 years in manufacturing and supply chain roles in the US Army and Fortune 500 companies, I started my coaching company in 2012. I chose ActionCOACH because of the simplicity and scope of the ActionCOACH toolkit and the community of other coaches around the world who continue to push the industry forward into the future. I co-founded ActionCOACH of Madison, LLC in 2014 which grew to include ActionCOACH Dane County, LLC and ActionCOACH Milwaukee #1, LLC.
In October of 2023, Beth and I became sole owners of ActionCOACH Milwaukee #1, LLC. We’ve grown our business by using our own ActionCOACH tools and processes. I’m a member of the ActionCOACH Global Hall of Fame, and a multiple award-winning coach. When I’m not working, you can find me on a golf course somewhere or at Disney World.
Beth McKay
Married to Mike McKay, Beth has been behind the scenes of ActionCOACH from the very beginning while also working in Early Childhood Education. In 2021, she retired from teaching and has focused all her energy on creating and maintaining the systems and processes of ActionCOACH.
Beth’s well-rounded role also contains aspects of being the office manager, administrator, and employee manager. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, spending time with family, reading and cheering for the Badgers!
Coaching Team
Jackie Zach
Jackie has a well-rounded professional background including management roles, financial positions and opening a highly successful retail store in Brookfield, WI in 2008 and became an ActionCOACH client in 2009. While many retailers were forced to close during the economic collapse, Jackie’s store thrived –a testament to her ability to own and operate a successful business. She sold her store in 2018 after a successful 10-year run. Loving what her coach helped her achieve, she wanted to help other business owners do the same.
Coaching since 2014, her experience as a client AND a coach helps her to understand coaching and business ownership from both sides of the coin.
As one of the Top 25 Coaches in the world for ActionCOACH, she can look at your business and pinpoint exactly what's hurting your bottom line and why. One of the areas she specializes in is the unique challenges faced by family-owned businesses from succession planning to family dynamics.
Jackie also conducts training sessions around DISC and teams. She facilitates the ActionCOACH 12-Week sales and management programs.
Some hobbies include playing Pickleball and Sheepshead, sewing, painting, traveling, and cheering on the Packers, Badgers, Bucks and Brewers.
