The Need: A new Director was joining the executive and was in need of on-boarding. While a high performer, some key leadership competencies lacked a level of development. The shift from peer to an authority figure had been a difficult one.
The coaching engagement began with a 360 assessment to help identify the key leadership skills needed as well as the behaviours that were becoming obstacles to performance. With a new level of awareness the coaching helped to move the leader forward and create a growth strategy to successfully on-board to the new role.
The Results: The Director was able to increase her own self-awareness and improve on her communication with her team and her peers. The Director has received glowing feedback from her superior and has begun to delegate, develop her team, and manage relationships in keeping with her level of leadership.
Michelle has coached with leaders and teams from across North America and the UK. She has worked with both private sector and not- for-profit executives and their employees to help them gain greater alignment with both personal and team goals. Read more about Michelle

The value of the content was enormous and eye opening. And I can't believe how fast it went by. I was dreading being on Zoom for that long, but it was engaging, worthwhile, and fun
Michelle and Tamar were very warm and friendly, and engaging. Having 2 facilitators was beneficial, as it provided 2 sets of input/feedback, which I thought was interesting.
Great dynamic between the facilitators. Engaging, knowledgeable and fun.
Michelle & Mark pulled us in and gained our interest immediately. Their kindness, intelligence, and intuitive strength made for a very effective and helpful workshop on communication.
Mark & Michelle are teal, honest, & humble which allows all participants to be the same. All participants were so pleased with the end result, walking away with gained confidence & practical tools.
Before working with Tamar I was tired, frustrated and a bit lost. At our very first meeting she made an observation that resonated so deeply with me, and a simple suggestion that made so much sense, that since that day my life has not been the same. In working with Tamar I have gained a much better sense of myself as a person and as a leader, and I interact more confidently and more effectively with everyone I meet. I am grateful for having had the opportunity to work with Tamar and recommend her without reservation.
Tamar is a natural facilitator who brings candour, authenticity and compassion to her work. Her passion for mindfulness, focus, and attention, is evident. The workshop was engaging and provocative.
Tamar has an amazing way about her. She's gentle with you and coaches you to do the same with yourself, but she never tells you what to do. She leaves that up to you, which I found is key for me as the changes I've made are mine alone and as a result are permanent, positive life changes. I look forward to working with her for years to come!
Working with Tamar was a deep and transformational experience. I was facing a high stakes business challenge that really stretched my capabilities. Tamar helped me explore that vulnerable challenge with powerful non-judgemental listening. Her abilities to shift my attention to strengths, ask creative questions and stick with me helped tap into my creativity and energy. I was able to meet the challenges in an enjoyable way that worked for me, and also build confidence in my ability to meet future challenges.
Michelle was an excellent coach - she brings an immense array of tools and experience to thoughtfully bringing you towards your goals. Above all - she has a warm and fun personality that creates an authentic and engaging dialogue. I would highly recommend My Michelle to anyone seeking to dig deep and purposefully approach their life and career.
As a facilitation team, (Michelle & Tamar) operate as a balanced duo, leading engaging, well-designed learning experiences which are fresh, grounded, and encourage participants to reflect and connect with one another. I highly recommend their work.
Michelle draws on a wealth of relevant experience and will challenge even the strongest personalities to embrace new ideas and ways in which they can improve. Speaking with Michelle for even a short time you will feel like you have known her all your life. Thank you for everything you have done for me Michelle!
Her enthusiasm and energy is contagious and she was able to both generate excitement among the team about the future but also to leave us with practical tools that we can – and will – use going forward. I very much look forward to working with Michelle again soon!
During my fellowship at MaRS, Michelle was a critical part of my professional and personal development in the areas of leadership, risk-taking and career pivot. Using her large set of coaching tools and activities as well as her incredible gift in active listening, Michelle helped me analyze, prepare and implement significant changes in my professional progression. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking to unlock their potential and strive forward as a genuine leader.
