Challenged the status quo; finding more balance between work life and personal time
“Before working with Michelle, I was feeling a bit adrift and was putting up with complacency and the status quo. I had fuzzy boundaries on my time at work and was being inconsistent with healthy habits at home that were important to me. That was getting old! I knew that life was asking me to question the status quo, explore new options, treat myself better, stick to a healthier lifestyle, expand my mind, and keep my heart open to what’s next.
Then I hired Michelle! I found her by searching online, and after looking through her website I decided to take the plunge and set up the initial Get Acquainted call. I am so glad I did! Throughout our work together, I gained a better understanding of my natural strengths and how to use them to work for me. For example, I’m now empowering my team and delegating some tasks…ones that in the past I would have over-extended myself to do, versus inviting others in to help. With Michelle’s guidance, I also developed the important habit of taking a ‘sacred pause’ throughout the day to come home to who I really am and what I want to bring to each day.
I wanted to have a more clear sense of direction in my life toward fulfilling my life’s purpose. And I wanted to live mindfully with a more spiritual connection every day. In my work with Michelle, we clarified my ‘Life Purpose Statement’ which now helps me to keep the focus on how my top priorities and natural strengths align for me to be my best self. Also, the habits that I developed in my work with Michelle are helping me to be more present both at work and at home.
In our coaching, I really enjoyed how things progressed very organically. Michelle always seemed to have a fitting tool, resource, or technique that matched my need or helped to address an issue. She strikes a good balance between being understanding if I forgot to do something…and reminding me to be accountable to get the most from our coaching sessions. She set expectations clearly for each call and ensured we stayed focused on achieving whatever goals I had set out for that call.
Although I’m still working on bringing more presence into each day, I’m feeling much more present than I ever have before. I’m clear on what’s most important to me and I’m keeping my priorities straight, which has helped me to have more balance between work life and personal time. I am so grateful that I found Michelle and would highly recommend that – if my story strikes a chord with you – you contact Michelle today!”
