Clarified life purpose, and now a better version of herself
“When I started working with Michelle, I had reached a point in my career – and life – where I wasn’t sure if I was still doing the right thing…or just going with the flow. I had been at the same company for over 14 years, constantly growing and advancing, but was that what I wanted? Or was I just doing it because it was there for me? Given where I was at, one of the main outcomes I wanted from my work with Michelle was to: 1) Understand and clarify my purpose; and 2) Make decisions and choice with purpose. And boy, did she deliver!
During one of our sessions, Michelle took me through a life purpose exercise that I really enjoyed and found it to be immensely helpful. I was able to walk away from that exercise with a strong life purpose statement that so clearly defined who I am and what I stand for. This statement is something I have been using since then to bounce my thoughts, feelings, actions and decisions off of…as a way to check myself and ensure that I’m still on-track and doing what I’m meant to be doing.
Throughout my coaching journey, I often referred to situations as ‘the old me…’ vs. ‘the new me…’ and it’s not that I am a different person – I feel I’m just a better version of myself. More patient, a better listener, a better leader, and more confident in my skin overall. I attribute all of this to Michelle and her thoughtful coaching style.”
