“With Michelle you can be more than good at what you do you can be exceptional.”
I inherited a family business that needed a lot of work to modernise and bring into the 20th century.
We had a team of staff members that were used to doing it one way and as I represented change I was being met with pushback from every angle – it was relentless!
I was unable to get any time to actually run the business. I was micromanaging every aspect of my business and found it very difficult to delegate work down to others. This was a continuous issue for at least two years.
I really couldn’t see the wood through the trees. Very long hours in front of a computer battling through issues on my own with no recognisable support was very difficult indeed.
It was suggested to me that Michelle was the right person to help. After an initial telephone conversation, I knew that I was being listened to and that my issues were validated and taken seriously! I wanted to move forward immediately, the few days before our first session was excruciating as I wanted to begin the process there and then!
After our first session I knew that I was with the right person – even after seeing Michelle once I was starting to put things into perspective and understanding that I needed to prioritise. I needed more!
Our work together addressed my challenges head on! This is not an easy process; you need to make the effort and want to make the changes. It is hard work. Michelle will not hand you the answers on a plate, what she will do is give you the tools to change your thinking so that you can come up with the answers for yourself, this is more valuable – trust me.
We took a step-by-step approach – sorting out some personal issues first which allowed a clearer picture to be realised of what was needed to be implemented within the company to reach the end goal.
Once you reach that milestone, Michelle will help you to maintain it and be that gentle arm-up to realise the next goal. Michelle’s role will be different for everyone and not everyone needs the same type of help, but I am confident that she knows what you need even before you do.
With Michelle’s help I have not only gained control back, but I have addressed all of the immediate issues that needed looked at to the stage that I no longer micromanage everything, I have been able to let go and delegate, I have got some personal time back to enjoy some hobbies again and we are going through an expansion.
Michelle has taken me seriously and I have had no fear of judgement. I have been able to be bluntly open, truthful and honest about my issues knowing that they will stay in the strictest confidence.
Having that support is only a call away between sessions, so if there are things that are getting a little overwhelming and you need support Michelle is always there to help.
This is not clinical, you are welcomed every time with a smile by a genuine, caring and kind person that only has your best interests at heart – remember, a win for you is a win for her and that mutual drive for success is refreshing in a world where jealously of other people makes you feel that they are sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for you to fail – don’t let them!
Michelle is there to help you realise that there are still some decent people in the world that actually want you to succeed!
The results I have had since working with Michelle are:
- More self-awareness.
- A regained feeling of self-worth.
- The expansion of my company when others within our industry are falling on hard times and are going into receivership or making massive cutbacks and/or redundancies.
- The strength to sort the wheat from the chaff and move the company forward with the correct people that complement the business and not hold it back.
- Modernisation and automation of critical aspects of our processes.
- The ability to let-go and understand the importance of delegation and regain time for myself.
I would absolutely recommend Michelle. Asking or recognising that you need help is not a sign of weakness, no matter what you are facing, having an outlet that is there to help and can put things into perspective should be grasped with both hands.
I have enrolled a member of my staff into a series of sessions with Michelle as I felt she could help – she has!
With Michelle you can be more than good at what you do, you can be exceptional. In my opinion Executive Coaching is an invaluable activity that anybody that strives for greatness needs. Michelle’s professional approach is only a call away – do not kick the can – call her now!!!
Firth FinanceRichard Nelson (Managing Partner)“Since working with Michelle the business has increased sales by 300% YOY and I am now a better leader and a happier more confident person.”
“My company was ready to scale & I wanted to be ready for it. My goal was to become a better leader, create more structure within the business, develop the team & overcome my lack of confidence in my ability to lead.
I found for the last three years I had been working in the business & not for the business. This was holding me back from making key decisions & it was not a good use of my time.
I was suffering from imposter syndrome, questioning my skills & judgement & becoming indecisive. I felt I had to tackle everything alone which was preventing me asking for help when I needed it.
When I started working with Michelle my business was still in the ‘start up’ stage. I had worked with a coach briefly with very negative results. It taught me to research, speak to clients already working with the coach & not to commit before having an introductory session with the potential coach.
When I started working with Michelle my business was just taking off & I was finding it overwhelming. I had faced many challenges over the three years & my confidence was at an all-time low. Every piece of feedback I received from my team seemed like criticism & I felt overwhelmed. My response was to become defensive instead of exploring why they felt this way.
I spoke to Michelle on the phone & she asked me why I wanted to work with a coach. I explained I wanted to become a better leader & take my business to the next level. Michelle suggested we have a complimentary introductory session & gave me the contact details of other business leaders she was working with.
At our first meeting I instantly felt a connection with Michelle & my pent-up tension started to ease. At first Michelle & I worked on how I was feeling & how I saw myself. Michelle was the first person to make me see what a success I had made of the business. She taught me to celebrate the wins & learn from the challenges.
My biggest challenge was believing in myself. As a leader, your team is looking to you to provide inspiration & motivation to complete their work. This can feel tough in challenging work environment or if you are not feeling motivated yourself.
Michelle taught me to inspire others, I had to help my team focus on the value their work creates. Share the vision for the team & make sure each of them can connect to how their piece of work makes a difference. We took a day out of the office & Michelle facilitated a team building day. This was the turning point in our team relationships. It taught me how to respond to individual team members & for us all to celebrate the huge wins we were achieving.
Another key area Michelle & I worked on was systems within the business. Michelle taught me the importance of regular team meetings & following up on any issues that arose from them. We applied this to the brand partners we were working with too. In the past I had been apprehensive to regularly communicate with brand partners for fear of hearing negative feedback but having regular meetings & following up with tasks helped the business overcome any issues straight away.
What I have enjoyed most working with Michelle is that I have someone in my corner cheering me on & who is always there to offer support & guidance.
Since working with Michelle, the business has increased sales by 300% YOY. We have also increased our team by a third. The biggest change is in my own confidence & leadership skills. We are now a happy, productive close-knit team with a confident leader.
As a leader, you may face many challenges, it is also extremely rewarding. Michelle taught me how to celebrate the rewarding times & learn from the challenging times. I am a much better leader having worked with Michelle & a happier, more confident person. I would recommend Michelle to anyone wanting to grow their business, improve leadership skills & overcome imposter syndrome.”
Lusso TanLynsey Bennett (CEO)“Michelle’s skill in allowing me to understand that a very simple refocussing of my language when speaking to senior staff has proved invaluable.”
“There were some key challenges that led me to working with Michelle. Newington has grown substantially over the last 10 years in term of its business functions and number of staff. This necessitated an organisational review, and a new Senior Team was recruited to provide me with strategic support in mid-2019. As a result of covid and the need to work remotely I felt that the natural development of the team was curtailed. At the same time the organisation was constructing new fit for purpose officer premises and myself and the senior team had to prepare for an eventual return to office working, albeit on a hybrid basis.
Although I am the CEO, I have worked for Newington for over 25 years. As the organisation was small with limited staff, I was involved in many of the core function of Newington, finally having operational responsibility for them all as Director of Operations. As CEO, and with an increasing workload, there were a number of problems holding me back from achieving key goals. I wasn’t focussing on supporting senior managers to make decisions and was not devoting enough time to the strategic priorities of Newington.
I chose to work with Michelle because I received a recommendation and during an initial consultation session felt really comfortable with her and there was an immediate level of trust.
I worked with Michelle and we addressed the challenges. Simple techniques to stop trying to fix problems which weren’t mine to fix were put in place. Although at times it appeared that I was taking a step forward and two steps back the culminative impact of Michelle’s support has begun to work.
I have enjoyed working with Michelle. She is a really easy person to talk to and always felt I was being listened to. The ability to discuss issues without being judged was extremely important to me. Michelle’s skill in allowing me to understand that a very simple refocussing of my language when speaking to senior staff has proved invaluable. At every session I felt very comfortable and supported and could also see the benefits of our work together. Although we discussed very heavy topics, I always left our sessions happy.
Since working with Michelle I have achieved numerous results. I have introduced some work practices that help me interact with the SMT and this has freed up some of my time. I am now starting to network and work on strategically promoting Newington which was a key goal. This is only the beginning of the change process following our work.
I would definitely recommend Michelle and already have. If felt that she got me from our first session and every session was a learning experience. I was never told how to solve the problems and challenges I had but was supported to identify my own solutions in my unique situation.”
Newington Housing AssociationAnthony Kerr (Chief Executive)“Michelle is a wonderful kind and compassionate coach.”
“Michelle is a wonderful kind and compassionate coach. She really cares about her clients. She helped me to look at a project I was considering investing in, in a practical and realistic way which enabled me to make the right decision.
I am really grateful for her help and support. I highly recommend you choose Michelle if you are stuck in a rut and need to move to the next level in your business.”
Immeasurable MindsBridgeen Rea (Owner)“Michelle made me realise that I have the answers inside myself and that it’s ok to put myself first which was a complete gamechanger!”
“The challenges I faced that led me to working with Michelle were, lack of self-belief, being disorganised and overwhelmed, having difficulties with boundaries and sustaining positive mental health.
These problems held me back because I had self-limiting beliefs, no defined working hours and I wasn’t strategic about my business goals. I also felt I needed more control to manage my mental health.
I had faced these challenges on and off for years. I felt I was not reaching potential either for myself or my business. I was overwhelmed, struggling to keep motivated and accountable so completed a resilience course and received CBT Counselling.
I was matched with Michelle as my Mentor via the Women in Business Mentoring programme. I felt we were the ‘perfect fit’ – Michelle just ‘got’ me and what I’ve been trying to achieve.
Michelle empowered me to believe in myself, encouraging me to break things down to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Focussing on both personal and business goals was exactly what I needed. Michelle provided accountability, a sounding board and an impartial, outsider viewpoint.
I enjoyed every single minute working with Michelle. Her encouragement and support for the Look Good & Feel Fabulous event resulted in 100 women successfully supporting each other. Michelle made me realise that I have the answers inside myself and that it’s ok to put myself first which was a complete gamechanger!
I now have a beautiful future friendship with Michelle and a lot of future plans. I have already recommended Michelle’s services. Her mix of personal/business coaching and advice is, in my opinion, essential for success. Michelle’s approach and approachability is second to none.”
Dream BeautyAisling O'Connor (Owner)“By committing time with Michelle and working together you will get the answers and the resolutions you need.”
“I was suffering from a lot of anxiety and lack of self believe. I was trying to take on new challenges and opportunities in work but there was a barrier that I could not overcome. I had no self believe or confidence. I didn’t see myself as being good enough. I would honestly say I have suffered from a lack of self believe all my life. I always knew where I wanted to be, but I never pushed myself enough as I was afraid of failure or underperforming.
This impacted me and my business. It had prevented the business from moving forward as I wasn’t strong enough to push it forward. I was sitting on the fence rather than “putting on my big girl pants” and facing the new challenges that I must add, I quite enjoyed. I was scared of the unknown. I got overwhelmed with trivial issues that could be easily resolved and nipped in the bud very quickly – I was seeing these things as a big deal, and I forgot that I was the Boss.
After speaking to a friend, I explained how I was feeling, and she recommend Michelle. I knew I had to speak to someone as I didn’t want to feel the way I did anymore. Michelle really helped me to address my challenges. Firstly, Michelle stripped everything right down to the basics, she looked across all areas in my life. From there, I was able to see the real pressures I was suffering from and why I was feeling the way I did. I thought I was Superwoman and this “me time business” was a load of rubbish. As long as I was running at 110% at all times; at home and in work then everything would be alright. It was far from alright. Self-care was much needed.
Once I realised that and forced myself to have some “me time” things starting to fall into place. I was no longer exhausted. I was able to think clearly, I made better business decisions. I had the strength to face challenges, not feel worn out before they begun. I started to time manage – what was important, what could wait. I was happy, I believed in myself, and I knew what I was capable of. I became a stronger, happier version of me!
I’ve really enjoyed working with Michelle and having that ‘me time’. I needed that hour once a week to reflect. I needed to work out the problems – sound them out and have a plan. I needed to realise my achievements which strengthened my self-belief.
I now time manage much better. I have realised I am not super woman. I can’t do everything; therefore, I have become a better delegator. I am kinder to myself. I have realised when I’m tired and worn out that I’m no good to anyone. My staff, my business and above all my family need me to be strong and in control. By making time for me every once in a while, everyone around me benefits. I am happier within myself and much more in control.
I would highly recommend Michelle. At some stage in our lives, we may face problems or challenges that you can’t quite understand. There may be barriers you don’t recognise. You can’t understand yourself and you can’t find answers. By committing time with Michelle and working together you will get the answers, you will get the resolutions and you will have the ability to put mechanisms in place from going down this rabbit hole again. Be kind to yourself, you only get one lap of this race.”
I thoroughly recommend Michelle. She is very experienced and helped our business grow from nothing to £130K in the first year!”
“I chose to work with Michelle through personal recommendation. We were starting a new business but lacked experience in commerce and marketing with very poor IT knowledge.
Michelle helped on all levels. We learnt a lot and were challenged on the application of our learnings. We had great fun too – even on Zoom.
Michelle is relaxed and friendly but always good at keeping to the task at hand. With her help, we built our business from nothing to £130K in the first year!
I thoroughly recommend Michelle. She is very experienced with great organisation and communication skills.”
The MCC MethodRalph McCutcheon (Owner)“I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone in business who wants to achieve their dreams and aspirations in life.”
“I faced some key challenges prior to working with Michelle. I was feeling overwhelmed with work and not being as productive as I wanted to be.
Feeling overwhelmed affected my productivity on a daily basis which in turn influenced me achieving my desired goals.
I was having this problem for about 2 months or so, it came about after I finished the start-up programme I was a part of which meant I no longer had that support structure and schedule which I was accustomed too.
I tried solving the problem by creating to-do lists but I would tend to push important tasks down the road which wasn’t good for my productivity and fed into the feeling of being overwhelmed as tasks quickly piled up.
It meant I wasn’t addressing the big rocks or tasks first and as a result I wasn’t progressing my business forward in the way I wanted.
I chose to work with Michelle because she seemed like a genuine person who wanted to help others progress both personally and professionally. Like her business suggests, she creates potential for people by helping them realise their worth and pushes them to achieve more than they think they’re capable of which is a big factor of what she does and what I also really like about working with her.
Michelle helped me be more productive by getting me to set aside time every day to work on the big rocks with no distractions. This allowed me to focus on the important things and not be distracted by answering emails etc. She also got me to stop working after 5 or 6 pm which definitely helped me massively in terms of creating a divide between my work and my life which really helped get rid of the feeling of being overwhelmed as I was properly able to relax and switch off in the evening.
Also having our weekly meeting is an advantage because it allows me to stay on the track and not steer away from my goals as there’s a level of accountability to everything I say and intend to do.
What I enjoyed most about working with Michelle is being able to be yourself and talk about things you might not even talk about to your closest friends, which really helped me progress on a personal and professional level. Michelle intends on building the whole individual and not just certain aspects of yourself which is very evident in how she operates.
Recently Michelle helped me develop an important business presentation and worked through it with me until I was happy and confident in presenting it.
Overall, I don’t feel overwhelmed with big rocks and generally I’m now more productive since I met Michelle.
I would highly recommend Michelle and her services as they are of great benefit to anyone in business who wants to achieve their dreams and aspirations in life.”
Eclipse Sleep BlissEric Teahan (Founder & CEO)“Working with Michelle allowed me to see the importance of making time for me.”
“I chose to work with Michelle because I felt stuck and overwhelmed and needed to regain my focus. I wasn’t sure what my goals were and was unsure of how to move forward.
I had faced these challenges for a very long time but since working with Michelle, she made me realise the power to resolve or tackle anything lay within me. The question at the end of the sessions “how are you going to move forward” and ”what can you do to move forward” made me realise I could decide how to tackle an issue and that I had power to do something about it.
I enjoyed working with Michelle because of the support and the challenge to view things differently and opening up possibilities.
The results are measurable. I feel I have power in my own life. I may get side tracked or have a wobble, but I know now these are temporary and I can get back on to the highway and drive my life myself.
Working with Michelle allowed me to see the importance of making time for me – looking at issues, facing them and deciding how to move forward. Our time together helped me realise I am worthy of care and support and that if I don’t value my time and resources no one else will.”
“I would 100% recommend Michelle. She is professional knowledgeable kind and is really good at listening. She holds you accountable in a very easy way.”
“I started out working for myself after over 20 years in a global company and faced some key challenges. I was having problems with my confidence, time management and being overwhelmed with a new industry, new job and being responsible for my own time and productivity.
I had a huge challenge with reaching out to my network to see if there was anything I could do to help them. It was during COVID which was another challenge. I was being very hard on myself and whilst I was successful it was taking its toll.
I was not able to convert my conversations into meetings and I also needed to generate future clients which in COVID was mostly restricted to phone calls which I was finding so difficult. I needed to network and find other ways to share what I was doing and how I could help perspective clients.
Lack of structure and organisation with so many things to do held me back and ultimately resulted in me burning out. I never focused on my achievements more about what’s next.
I was lucky enough to meet Michelle and others who helped me at the beginning of my journey so luckily was not dealing with them for too long.
Ultimately the challenges have made me sit back, reflect on what I am doing and what I want which I am so grateful for. I do not think I will continue with my own business but will continue to work on myself.
I immediately connected with Michelle whom I met at a networking event. Michelle is based some distance away from me but thanks to the new virtual world we were able to build a close relationship. Michelle offered her assistance, and I was more than thankful and grateful to avail of her services. Michelle is easy to speak to, hugely experienced and really made me feel like she understood and that I was special.
Michelle listened to me and helped me work through my challenges. She built my confidence whereby she made me realise that even though I was in a completely new business the skills I had developed in my other career were relevant and needed. She ensured I celebrated my successes and the importance of doing that. She broke it down for me – she supported me with proposing ideas of how to generate new business. I knew she was there for me and continues to be so if I need any support.
I have enjoyed working with Michelle – she has the ability to make a person feel special (I thought it was just me but understand it’s not!!) and that I mattered to her and that she could help. I had some really emotional sessions with Michelle, and she was there before during and after to ensure I was ok. For that I am most grateful.
My business results whilst working with Michelle enabled me to be placed within the top 50 and on occasion top 10 Advisors for the company I worked with. I also gained new clients from ideas generated whilst brainstorming with Michelle.
I would 100% recommend Michelle. She is professional, knowledgeable, kind and is really good at listening. She holds you accountable in a very easy way.”
“The benefits I have had since working with Michelle are amazing. I never knew that a change in mindset could affect so many aspects of my life in such a positive way.”
“Prior to working with Michelle, I had just left a job which I had for 32 years and was uncertain of what direction my career and life was taking.
I couldn’t see clearly how to approach this change in my life. I was not sure what I wanted to do and how to approach making the necessary changes required. I was having difficulty making decisions about what direction I wanted my future career to take.
Truthfully, I had faced these challenges for many years. I had doubts about my job for many years but never stepped outside my comfort zone. I stayed in this job longer than I probably should have because the security of having a full-time job where there was no longer any challenge was easier than making a change.
I was unhappy and unmotivated and needed to make changes to get the spark back that I once had for my career in HR.
I started working with Michelle because following our first conversation I realised I needed help to make me re-evaluate my priorities and to give me some direction. I knew I couldn’t do it on my own and from our first conversation I knew she was going to be a great help to me.
I went into the process believing I was clear about what challenges I had but quickly realised there were other factors in my life which affected all my decisions. My personal life and family matters had played a part in decisions I was making which affected not only my career but me in a personal way.
Working with Michelle actually felt more like catching up with a friend, but the session was focussed on me. And I always left with a feeling of accomplishment because each session identified areas that I needed to focus on. Areas that I hadn’t considered before.
Since starting to work with Michelle, I have changed so much. I now make decisions for me without putting everybody else’s needs in front of mine. This does not mean I don’t consider others, but I realised that some decisions I made were never made with my own needs in mind.
I have changed jobs 3 times since working with Michelle. This was because I have realised that I should not make do and accept something if it is not the right thing for me. With each job change I have learned valuable lessons, but I also now realise where my strengths lie. I feel that I have achieved more in the last 6 months that I have in many years. And I feel this is only the beginning. I will not accept anything unless I know that it is right for me and if this means I change my job again in the future then I know I will make that decision because I have considered all the factors.
I would definitely recommend Michelle and already have. The benefits I have had are amazing and I know I am a different person than I was at the beginning not because I was sceptical because I wasn’t but because I never knew that a change in mindset could affect so many aspects of my life in such a positive way.”
“Michelle creates a relaxed atmosphere whilst enabling people to truly believe in themselves and I would 100% recommend Michelle’s services to everyone.”
“Before working with Michelle, I did not have much confidence in myself as leader.
I wanted to make changes in the company and make it a better place for everyone to work but not having enough confidence was holding me back.
I chose to work with Michelle to give me more confidence in myself and to be a better manager and leader. Since doing so, Michelle has enabled me to believe in myself and to stand up and overcome issues knowing there will be more challenges ahead of me.
I now truly believe in myself and know that I am a good leader and am confident making decisions. I am in control and more involved with key management decisions. I am 100% better at my job!
I have really enjoyed my time working with Michelle. She has made me stand up and believe in myself. Michelle gave me the push that I needed. Every time we finish are meeting together, I feel I am ready for the world, it was definitely the confidence boost that I needed.
Michelle creates a relaxed atmosphere whilst enabling people to truly believe in themselves and I would 100% recommend Michelle’s services to everyone.”
Firth FinanceMichael O'Neill (Credit Manager)“I knew within the first 5 minutes of a phone call to Michelle she could and would help me.”
“With the desire to continually improve myself I started to apply for jobs. When I received my first interview date, I was nervous and thought I needed help from an expert. Every time I attended interviews I came away feeling as though I could and should have done better.
I knew within the first 5 minutes of a phone call to Michelle she could and would help me. Michelle instantly knew the areas to focus on and give me confidence. This was a hugely insightful experience.
Michelle’s feedback was constructive and honest. I was able to reflect on it and apply it in my interview with confidence to answer every question. I am now very confident in the future, how to prepare and get in the right mental headspace to fully sell myself at interview and would be more than happy to recommend Creating Potential and Michelle McAuley.”
“I would definitely recommend Michelle as her approach helps and encourages you to focus and achieve your end goals.”
“For almost 3 years, I was lacking drive, motivation, and direction on opening my business and unsure how to plan and pick the best ideas to move forward with my goals. I had fantastic ideas but did not know how to initiate them.
I chose to work with Michelle because of her one-to-one approach. Michelle helped me to narrow down my objectives, see my end goal and plan how to get there. She helped me to see the wood for the trees and focus on a business plan. Michelle has a light-hearted approach and her consistent help enabled me to work through my business ideas and achieve my end plan of opening a successful business.
I would definitely recommend Michelle as her approach helps you with the foundations of opening a business and encourages you to focus and achieve your end goals.”
Carma Therapies & Carma AcademyCarmelita O’Doherty (Owner)“Whilst working with Michelle I found employment in the sector that I wanted to be in and was offered 3 roles in total.”
“The Executive Coaching I have experienced with Michelle has had a very positive impact on me. It made me feel more positive, that there was hope, that I could turn my situation around and to realise that there was a world full of opportunity out there for me.
I was going through a difficult time having recently been made redundant which was unexpected. I felt unsure of how to move forward as the redundancy was a massive blow especially during a pandemic and I found myself struggling with thoughts of hopelessness about the situation I was in.
Michelle instantly put me at ease and was very encouraging and positive. She challenged me to look at situations I was facing in a totally different way which has had an impact on my way of thinking in both my professional and personal life for the better.
I benefitted more from the sessions than I had expected to. Michelle helped me to focus on what I actually wanted, not just from my working life but also on a personal level. This gave me the confidence to realise that I did have a lot to offer both professionally and personally.
Michelle’s ability to listen to me and let me explain exactly how I felt encouraged me to look at things in a different light. She was so positive about me, highlighting the qualities I had, that I could not fail to feel more confident about myself.
I felt that I could trust her. She was so encouraging and able to provide me with emotional and practical support. Michelle never made me feel uncomfortable, only at ease and I actually looked forward to subsequent sessions because of how uplifted I felt afterwards.
Michelle was very easy to chat to and that is what made me feel relaxed at the sessions. I never felt that the sessions were rushed, and I knew she was happy to genuinely be investing her time in helping me. She came across as very caring and that she wanted the best outcome for me.
I began to feel more positive about going to job interviews with the belief that I did have a lot to offer to prospective employers. For the first time I did think about what the employer had to offer me, something I hadn’t really thought about before.
I did find employment in the sector that I wanted to be in and was offered 3 roles in total. Result definitely achieved!
Now that I am in employment, I’m still taking on board what I learnt from the sessions – that I do have a lot to offer my employer and it is not just all about what I can give to them but also about what they can in return give to me, especially with how I am treated.
I actually try to not only think in a more positive way in life but also find myself encouraging friends to do the same or to think differently about their situations now too.
I took on board the advice and tools Michelle gave me and put these into practice resulting in me finding new employment following redundancy. She definitely increased my self-belief and helped to rebuild my confidence at a time when I really needed it.
I thoroughly recommend Michelle and the excellent coaching service she provides.”
