The best practices, strategies, and articles for personal growth, getting your time back, and increasing profitability, while building your best life

"Like so many other entrepreneurs, I used to find myself juggling a lot. I feared that if I took my foot off the gas, it would negatively impact the growth of my business. So I took on everything. From leading my team, to near constant traveling, to creating new content, all while raising two children. It’s no surprise that I was overwhelmed.

Just when it seemed like my options were to quit or keep grinding, I reached out to Michelle for coaching. She helped me see a path that I hadn’t seen before. This included learning strategies for managing stress, quieting my racing thoughts, increasing my energy levels, prioritizing the right tasks, and learning how to create a team that worked more independently. This led me to build a new infrastructure where I was able to continue building my business and not feel exhausted.

The most amazing thing is as I have learned how to be mentally and physically rested, my business continues to grow. I have no doubts that this is due to my work with Michelle."

"Michelle facilitated our company retreat in early 2018. It was a really fun and unique experience for our small business. She brought so much energy and insight to our team! She not only helped us understand how we as a team currently operate and appreciate the unique qualitied in each member, but by using the Birkman Method she guided us on how to support one another to be the best we can be.

It was so eye opening and rewarding that we all went back to work with a renewed sense of purpose and commitment to our vision and strategy for the year ahead!  I have had positive experience with the Birkman Method for decades and since starting my own firm Michelle has become a critical part of our hiring and on-boarding process. We have engaged her to help grow and develop our leadership team and through her coaching our associates have been able to lean on her for advice and learn how they can be more productive, positive members of the Segue Partners team."

"Before I started working with Michelle I was extremely stressed out and really struggling with how much work I was bringing home because of how distracted I was at work with constant interruptions. I had no separation between the two. It was causing a lot of anxiety and stress. I really hate to feel behind and feel like I’m not completing things all the way. I had tried different ways to stop stressing about my task list but nothing was working. It was affecting my sleep, well-being, and time with my family. The worst part was I had stopped making time for myself because I always had too much to do and my health was suffering. I found myself shutting down and folding into myself a little, becoming short and impatient. I didn’t like how it was making me feel but I didn’t know how to do it any differently, so I kept pushing through it.

When I started coaching with Michelle, everything changed. I don't feel like I am drowning in work and gasping for air anymore. My family and I are thriving, we take month vacations every summer to our new second home. And most recently, my husband and I invested in a franchise. Something I always dreamed about but never had time or energy to pursue it. I still work with my to-do lists but I am much more intentional about them and less neurotic. I’m a lot less focused on how many items I’ve checked off and more focused on the most important. This has improved my productivity. I carve out a decent amount of time for myself and now understand how much better it has made everything else.

I can sleep without worry, wake up fully rested and feeling gratitude for the day. I have been building wealth not just focused on creating financial freedom for my family but with how much time I have now, and I’m the healthiest and calmest I’ve ever been. All while deepening the richness in my relationships and being more present. I feel an inner peace inside I didn’t know was possible with juggling family, life, and a high intensity executive job.

The most significant thing I would say that’s changed is I'm no longer exhausted, caught in a dred loop of all the things I have to do, constantly ruminating on things that are challenging me, or the things that have not been done. Even though my life and work haven’t slowed down, I’m happier, enjoy life more, feel more peace, and I’m more present with my boys, no matter what is going on. I can’t imagine what my life would be like now if I hadn’t started coaching with Michelle. I am eternally grateful to/for her!"

"I am writing to say how much doing your course changed my life- it shifted how I conduct myself and interact with my significant others and how this has added a sense of peace and ease in all areas of life.

The most important aha moment for me happened when I realized that triggers were actually in my zone of responsibility and control. Especially if my life intentions were of spiritual growth and evolvement.

I didn't realize that when you are charged you are contracted and not present. People are not likely to hear what you want to communicate and all they can feel is your anger, fear or frustration.

I really enjoyed the interaction with Michelle as her feedback was very timely and was engaged in my progress, I learnt the tools and techniques to release charge build up- 'like a kettle releasing steam' . The practice was very grounding and helped me to really align and ground my energy each time I engaged in the easy to remember sequential steps.

Michelle is so knowledgeable and supportive. Her passion for this work is inspiring as it really helped me to continue my inner work and to grow as a person. Just recently with my husband, I was able to release the charge in my trigger, and then communicate in a calm , clear way and felt heard as a result.

No other person or coach has been able to impart so much wisdom that has been so impactful on my inner work journey as she gives me the context of why we all should be doing this inner work! The thing I took away is so powerful- that I am responsible for the impact of my charge/ triggers on my own body, others and the world around me.

The most important ability has been for me to cultivate the witness capacity. From here, we can relate to others in a most conscious, compassionate way as we relate to ourselves in an equally loving and kind way.

Thank you so much Michelle, your work is important, powerful and impactful. It has really been the missing piece of the puzzle in my spiritual seeking journey and I'm grateful for the synchronicity that has bought your presence into my life! I adore you!"
