Hi! I'm Michelle, and I get energized by helping people grow into the kind of leaders that others naturally follow. I’ll help you recognize and build on the strengths you already have ,including the ones you may have forgotten, while honing the skills that don’t come as naturally yet.

Over the past 15+ years, I've worked across leadership development, organizational development, talent strategy, and coaching at companies including Amazon, Coca-Cola, and Carvana. As an experienced coach, I've worked one-on-one with professionals and leaders to help them build confidence, strengthen their leadership skills, and navigate real-world challenges. I've also interviewed hundreds of candidates, developed and supported leaders at different stages of their careers, and helped people navigate everything from stepping into management for the first time to leading through growth, change, and complex workplace challenges.

What I've learned is that developing into a strong leader isn't just about what you know. It's about learning how to apply what you know when you're dealing with real people, competing priorities, difficult conversations, uncertainty, and the pressure to perform.

That's where I can help.

I work best with people who are motivated but may be questioning themselves, overthinking important decisions, feeling overwhelmed by the demands of leadership, or trying to figure out what comes next in their career. You might be preparing for your first leadership role, struggling with a difficult team dynamic, navigating organizational change, working on your executive presence, or deciding how to position yourself for your next opportunity. If this sounds like you, I would love to work with you!

My mentoring style is practical, honest, and personalized. I don't believe in generic leadership advice or one-size-fits-all frameworks. I'll ask questions, challenge your thinking when it's helpful, and work with you to find solutions that make sense for your personality, your goals, and the environment you're actually working in.

Our conversations are meant to leave you with something you can use. That might mean preparing for an important conversation with your manager, working through how to handle an underperforming employee, figuring out how to communicate with more confidence, preparing for an interview or promotion, setting better boundaries, or simply having someone experienced to help you think through a situation you're too close to see clearly.

And you don't have to become a completely different person to become a better leader. We'll build on what already makes you effective while developing the confidence, communication skills, judgment, and leadership habits that help you perform at a high level without burning yourself out.

I will bring real corporate experience, practical coaching, and a genuine investment in helping you succeed. You will bring whatever you're working through right now, and we'll start there.
