From overwhelmed and frustrated to more clarity and confidence
“Before coaching with Michelle, I was overwhelmed and frustrated in my life and in my work. I was feeling too busy, and my schedule was crammed full. I felt less creative and strategic than I wanted to feel, and I hoped to find a way to bring something fresh and fulfilling into both my work and personal life.
Michelle helped me realize that I do have something special to offer the world, and that part of me was longing to be expressed. My work with Michelle has led me to the next step of my development – building some creative opportunities both within and in addition to my full-time position. I appreciated Michelle helping me to really ‘own’ what I’m passionate about – both personally and professionally. It felt so good knowing that someone I trusted, and whose perspective I valued, thought there was potential in my ideas, and it gave me confidence to move forward with them.
In our work together, I received more clarity about who I am, who I want to be, and what was holding me back. I identified many of the fears that were making me tentative about trying to achieve my new-found goals. Michelle was sensitive to not adding too much to my already full plate, and I appreciated her pushing just the right amount. She was honest with me and stopped me as needed to challenge me on my perspective. I always felt heard, appreciated, understood, and honored, and Michelle asked me some terrific questions along the way and went very deep with me. I LOVED that! I consistently felt like Michelle was ‘there’ for me, and she made me feel valued as a client. She always added something special to my process – the perfect quote, words, inspiration – to keep me moving forward and provide a tangible representation of the support and love I knew she was sending.
Some of the transformation I experienced is hard to articulate. I know myself better. I can be even more honest and vulnerable with myself and others. I feel more confident in who I am. As I move into the intentional creation of the next chapter of my life and career, I feel like I am growing stronger every day. Knowing that I had a beautiful, encouraging spirit like Michelle’s ‘in my corner’ has – and will continue to make – that growth easier, smoother, and more graceful. I was missing that kind of presence in my life, and I’m grateful to have found it in Michelle. She was an amazing Coach who supported me in a powerful way through a very challenging time in my life. Thank you, Michelle, from the bottom of my heart!”
