These are examples of situations people have brought to me and how we worked through them.
They’re different roles, sectors and moments. What they have in common is the need to get clear on what was really going on and decide what to do next.

Unit Director, Public Hospital, Melbourne
I contacted you for help with the interview preparation. I came away with why I even wanted the job. It was incredibly valuable.
Senior Executive, Transport, Melbourne, Australia
I came into coaching resistant. I didn’t want it. My manager had told me I needed to work on my brand and I didn’t agree. Since I had no choice, I decided to make the most of it. By the end, my confidence had gone from a 5 to a 9 out of 10 and I had an equal seat at the table alongside my peers.
HR Director, Government, Melbourne, Australia
I had a lot of things happen to me while I was working with Michelle. I moved from one company to another. She taught me how to approach it and how to work with different people.
Michelle’s approach to everything is comprehensive. People I know who have worked with her always say they got so much more out of the work than originally expected…Having Michelle as a coach is invaluable.
Senior Manager, Not-for-profit, Brisbane, Australia
I’ve sat there before in work meetings feeling inadequate, thinking ‘everyone knows what they’re talking about except me’. And I’ve done a couple of management and leadership courses, but they’re very theoretical.’
Michelle unpacks the issues in very simple ways. The course far exceeded what I was looking to get. The tools Michelle shares are just amazing, and it’s been so beneficial in helping me move forward.
Engineer Superintendent, Oil and Gas, Lagos, Nigeria / London, UK
I was close to burning out and seriously questioning my future at work. Completing Michelle’s program helped me gain clarity, think more strategically, and see realistic options I hadn’t considered before.
Accounting Manager, Government, Los Angeles, USA
Working with Michelle helped me act more decisively and speak up with confidence. For the first time, after working with Michelle, I felt like I could control the room, not just in meetings but everywhere. Once I opened my mouth, everyone stopped talking, everyone paid attention to me.
Manager, Health Industry, Birmingham, UK
I discovered there were lots of things that I didn’t expect to learn. The areas where I was stuck were not those I would’ve expected. I wouldn’t have been able to identify them by myself.
The course has given me a lot more confidence, as somebody that supervises other staff. The strategies Michelle suggested, I’ve been able to directly put in place at work, and they have made a significant difference.
HR Manager, Mining, Sydney, Australia
Michelle made me see value in myself. I can’t thank her enough for that. I was feeling vulnerable and uncertain about my professional future. This course really lifted my spirits. It connected me and gave me hope, motivation and inspiration.
It’s tough out there, but when you’ve got someone like Michelle, you see the value in yourself. I needed that. I grew and developed in such a short time. Each of her sessions left me feeling energised.
Development Officer, Not-for-Profit, Melbourne, Australia
Michelle helped me get to the point of having confidence to approach a new role. I hadn’t really been to a job interview in my life! I now have a new career.
The whole scenario could’ve been very messy, but I managed to keep my relationships intact.
