MEET YOUR COACH

Executive leader turned leadership coach

Like most of us, I’ve been promoted throughout my career: I rose the ranks to Vice President of Sales, responsible for 70+ people and the cultural transformation of a world-renowned cruise line’s sales organization. In that role, I became known for accelerating the success of other leaders and was headhunted into an executive coaching role with the digital sports company, Fanatics.

Here’s the thing: When I was first promoted into these leadership roles, I had no training or support in how to be a leader. So, I modeled myself after great leaders of the 21st century. I read their books and studied their strategies. I spoke with Bob Chapman on truly human leadership, hosted a professional development cruise with Kathy Caprino, and met thought leaders like Simon Sinek and Jay Shetty.

It was the experience of learning how to lead that led me to coaching. In the words of Simon Sinek, “The greatest contribution of a leader is to make other leaders.” I consider coaching not just my contribution, but my calling: To unlock potential and open doors for others. I left Fanatics in 2025 to start my own coaching business—all while opening doors for young women in Kenya as CEO of One Girl Can.

My career has led to this moment: I became the coach I needed then, so I can be the coach you need now. Maybe your career advanced like mine, and you became a leader without any formal leadership training. Or maybe you’re not a leader yet. Whether you’re at the beginning of your career or the peak, coaching will challenge you and coaching will change you.

The question is: Are you ready to become one of the greats?

Why Michelle?

Unlocking your potential is my purpose

I WAS A LEADER, TOO

Before I became a coach, I was a leader, too. I have lived experience negotiating the same high-stakes situations you are.


I SEE WHAT YOU CAN’T

As an impartial thought partner, I see what you can’t—and challenge what you won’t. The real insights are in asking the right questions.


I SAY WHAT OTHERS WON’T

I say what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Real talk may not feel comfortable, but discomfort is where we grow.


I EMPOWER YOU TO BE YOU

Leadership should be grounded in who you are, not who you think you should be, empowering you to become the leader only you can be.


I’M HERE FOR YOU 100%

We all know it can be lonely at the top. From regular meet-ups to urgent insights, I’m here for you whenever you need me.


I UNLOCK YOUR POTENTIAL

My purpose in life is to open doors for others. To unlock their potential. To get you results—whatever those look like for you.

Lead greatly, together
