Michael "Porch" Porcelli founded MetaRelating, a training and education company in relational communication. After a career as a software engineer, he turned in a more human-centered direction working as a coach, facilitator, and trainer.

He’s worked with teams to improve their relational dynamics, including engineers, educational technologists, AI researchers, trainers in applied rationality, change-makers in the effective altruism movement, and self-managed teams practicing Holacracy. He’s trained coaches, therapists, and facilitators to bring more relational awareness to their practices.

Through his experience, Michael has come to learn – and to teach – that how we work together is as important as what we’re working on.
