Coaching & Strategy for Leaders Who want their work to mean something

I help successful professionals navigate their next chapter, whether that’s advancing in corporate, transitioning to something new, or building their own venture.

Who This Is For

You might recognise yourself:

The High Achievers Dilemma 
✓ You’ve reached professional success but feel strangely disconnected from it
✓ You’re the “go-to” person at work but can’t figure out your own next chapter
✓ You have big ideas but struggle to execute them consistently
✓ You’re tired of people pleasing and ready to define

The Values Driven Professional
✓ You care deeply about making a difference but feel exhausted trying
✓ You want your work to reflect your values, not just your resume
✓ You’re considering leaving corporate but don’t know what’s next
✓ You’re building something meaningful but feel scattered and alone

The Seeker of Integration
✓ You know life and work shouldn’t be separate boxes
✓ You want strategic thinking AND psychological insight
✓ You’re ready for sustainable change, not another quick fix
✓ You prefer honest collaboration over guru worship

What connects my clients isn’t their job title or industry—it’s that quiet knowing that there must be more. That their skills, experience, and energy could be directed toward something that actually matters to them.

Different from other

What’s Possible 

Imagine if you could… 

Reconnect  with what actually motivates you (not what “should”) 

Build  A business or career that reflects your values, not just market demands 

Navigate transitions with clarity instead of anxiety 

Make decisions  From self trust rather than external validation

Create  sustainable success that nourishes rather than depletes you

Integrate  your drive for achievement with your longing for meaning 

How We Get There

Three Pathways to Alignment 

The Inner Compass Work

For when you feel succesful but stuck, restless or disconnected

→ Uncover the “why” behind your restlessness
→ Break free from “shoulds” and societal expectations

[Explore Strategic Consulting]

Why this approach Works 

 

What makes this different from anything else you have tried?

I don’t offer fixes, generics advice or disconnected strategies

This approach delivers: Integration of your business mind AND human heart

Because:  You don’t just need another tactic.  You need someone who understands:

The pressure of boardroom decisions AND the longing for personal fulfillment
How to read financial reports AND human behavior patterns
What it takes to launch a product AND rebuild a life
The tension between commercial reality and staying true to your values


My background gives me this unique perspective: 30+ years leading multi-million pound brands (Co-op, Bostik, Disney) combined with deep personal work through breakdown, recovery, and reinvention.

Michelle was an Absolutely Amazing Coach .. I was in a dark place & my business of 16 years had folded & I didn’t know which way to turn. Michelle gave me the courage & filled me with inspiration to follow my passion of selling vintage clothes which I thought was just a pipe dream … Michelle is herself inspirational & gave me the confidence to once again believe in myself .. I would highly recommend Michelle in all aspects of Coaching

Working with Michelle has been a game-changer for me! For over a year, I felt stuck and unsure about my next steps. But after just two weeks of coaching, I was finally taking action toward my goals. Her support and guidance helped me build my confidence, and I genuinely feel lighter and happier now. She has a knack for getting to the heart of what’s holding you back and empowering you to move forward. I can’t recommend Michelle enough. Thanks so much Michelle 👊

I've had the pleasure of working with Michelle for the past six months, and from day one, she made me feel completely at ease with her warm and friendly demeanor. Her support goes beyond the sessions themselves—she is incredibly generous with her time, often checking in between meetings to offer guidance and encouragement. Michelle's structure and advice, both personally and professionally, have been invaluable. She doesn’t just stop when the session ends; she's always thinking of ways to add value and help me grow as a business owner. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone seeking a coach who genuinely invests in your success.

I had several sessions with Michelle, and they have been fantastic.  They were at a point when I was really struck and finding life quite challenging in both work and personal life.  I’ve been able to see things much more clearly and have gained a massive amount of confidence.  I’m feeling so much happier about everything.  And from a few months ago where I wanted to leave my job, I have now since been promoted and it’s going amazingly well.  The sessions have been gold dust 😊
