Michelle partners with organisations across the public and private sectors to strengthen leadership capability and performance. Through facilitating leadership development programmes, learning groups, and one to one coaching, she works with leaders at different levels, from emerging managers to senior executives, across industries. Her approach is shaped by 11 years of corporate HR experience in a global financial institution, where she provided strategic people advisory and developed a practical, systems oriented perspective on leadership.
Michelle has facilitated developmental and leadership programmes such as Microsoft’s Aspire Experience, designed to accelerate MBA talent, and the Yokogawa EDGE Leadership Journey, a blended pathway integrating one to one coaching, group facilitation, and leadership assessment for senior pipeline leaders. She has also led leadership assessment centre engagements for high potential and key position holders within major financial institutions. Across these initiatives, Michelle integrates coaching, assessment, and facilitation to support focused leadership growth and sustained performance impact.
Known for building rapport and trust quickly, she creates a space where leaders feel safe to engage in open and honest conversations. She balances support with thoughtful challenge, using evocative and direct questions that foster clarity and deepen self awareness. Through her steady presence and systemic lens, individuals and teams align around purpose, strengthen collaboration, and translate insight into meaningful action.
