Hi i’m michelle
I believe we should be able to do well at work without compromising our wellbeing.
Throughout my career in human resources and organisational development, I've worked alongside leaders and teams who care deeply about what they do, yet find themselves navigating competing priorities, challenging relationships and the constant pressure to deliver.
What I've come to understand is that the challenges we experience at work aren't always about capability, motivation or effort.
Sometimes, it's what we aren't seeing.
The unspoken expectations, patterns of behaviour, relationships and ways of thinking that influence how we show up, lead and work with others.
This is where my coaching begins.
I bring together my experience working within organisations, a Master's in Coaching Psychology and expertise in leadership and team development to help individuals and teams better understand themselves and the environments they operate within.
My approach combines curiosity, evidence-informed practice and practical workplace experience. I create space for meaningful reflection, honest conversations and new perspectives that can lead to lasting change.
Because I believe that when we better understand ourselves and what's happening around us, we are better equipped to lead well, perform well and, importantly, be well.
The coach you need but don’t want
You may think coaching is a good idea, something you might need but don’t necessary want.
Coaching is a proactive and evidence-based approach and can be used to:
Unlock confidence and foster growth
Create a unique leadership presence
Proactively prevent burnout and overwhelm
Retain your talent and enhance your inclusion
Build a culture of inclusiveness
Support your wellbeing, along with the wellbeing of your team
Develop capable leaders that allows you to focus on what’s important!
A new leadership approach tailored to you
Are we a fit?
Supporting is what I do best. I create a safe environment to allow you to explore your thoughts and ideas without consequences.
I work with intentional individuals that understand how coaching can impact wellbeing and performance.
In order to lead with impact, create mindful leadership approaches and support team wellbeing.
Giving you what you need to support and create the life you want, in both your personal and professional life.
The outcomes:
Become more confident in your decision making by discovering your values, motivators and strengths.
Don't let negative self-talk hold you back; instead, explore where those thoughts come from and how they shape your perspective.
Become more aware of your behaviours and blind spots, increase your influence and become the kind of leader that others want to follow.
Unlock your mindset and develop the skills that will help you thrive not only in your professional life, but also in your personal life.
Why am I different?
Because I listen to understand. I research, I create. I’m analytical, I’m solution focused and I will question. I don’t assume.
With the right tools and guidance, you start your growth journey, stay energised and put in place strategies to handle the obstacles.
Let me help you unlock your potential and at the same time improve your leadership potential, wellbeing and performance.
I hold a Masters in Coaching Psychology from the University of Sydney and a Bachelors in Business - Human Resources/Industrial Relations from the University of Newcastle.
