What People Are Saying About Michelle
Don’t just take it from me, let my clients explain how coaching has helped them!
I have great hopes for my future knowing that I now have Michelle on my side to help me face the challenges ahead.
At first I was unsure about the benefits of coaching but as soon as I signed up for Michelle's blog, and downloaded her free coaching programme I understood clearly. These days I look forward to each of our discussions - Michelle creates a safe and encouraging space to reflect, challenge yourself, and take risks. Her extensive experience is evident in every interaction and with her guidance I am becoming a better version of my true self.
Michelle truly is a master at seeing a different perspective and showing a way through. Her coaching techniques draw on extensive experience and knowledge and really work. Michelle helped guide me through some of the toughest times and I really did become significantly better at life.
When I started coaching, I was lacking the confidence I needed to make a long overdue change in my career. I was feeling anxious, indecisive and was not sleeping well. Michelle helped me gain clarity about what I really wanted, and she gave me tangible practices tailored to my situation. Within a few sessions, I made the decision to walk away from an unsupportive workplace where my career had effectively stalled; and through coaching I rediscovered the confidence and self-belief I needed to attend management-level job interviews, and be successful. I now have a wonderful new position and I am so much happier.
Michelle is the consummate professional who greets you as you are and respectively shows you how to reach your hidden potential. A truly wonderful service.
Thank you Michelle. I am really excited about the prospect of using the tools you helped me discover within myself. I left our session feeling lighter and more in control than I have ever felt over the issue I brought to our session. I feel wonderful!!!
Michelle was born for this. Solid advice and understanding is second nature to her. I cannot thank her enough for the work she's done with me.
11 out of 10. Brilliant!! Best chat ever and just what I needed. Thank you.
Dear Michelle. This is the best and most useful article I've ever read on morning routines! Thank you!!!
Michelle is a wonderful down-to-earth no-nonsense but caring coach, gently helping you identify your purpose and pitfalls, with clear outcomes in mind. She is very approachable and has a wealth of experience and knowledge.
I have found Michelle very knowledgeable, sincere and an excellent practitioner, and I would highly recommend her services. Not only is she very easy to talk to but she is very patient and understanding.
I came to you depressed and hopeless after years working in a toxic environment. You have helped me see the possibilities of joy and exhilaration in risk, faith and optimism - what a wonderful thing!
I hear your voice in my head telling me, ‘I’m in charge of my happiness’. Even if it’s an awful day at work, in such a adverse environment, I’m still happy inside and thinking of wonderful things to come (at home and other opportunities).
