Reviews
Michelle was great to work with. Before our session, she sent a note aligning what I wanted to cover during our session and homework to ensure our hour together was productive. I left feeling inspired, and more confident. I am looking forward to completing this next step in my career journey.

Michelle was warm, knowledgeable, and poised. We fit quite a bit into 50 minutes. She outlined how the conversation could go based on what I was looking for and we immediately dug right in. As a high-performer myself, it's tough to realize when we need help with our career direction. We all need help from time to time. We may know how to help others, but we also need to recognize when it's time to have someone break it down for us and help us recognize things we may be blind to seeing. I left feeling more empowered and energized. We ended with some action-items and I'm sure I will be scheduling a follow up with her soon. I highly recommend her!
