Unique, Comprehensive, Evidence-based Executive Coaching

HR Director, Government, Melbourne, Australia

How an HR director strengthened professional identity, navigated a senior transition, and stepped into a new role with confidence.

I had a lot of things happen to me while I was working with Michelle. I moved from one company to another. She taught me how to approach it and how to work with different people.

Michelle’s approach to everything is comprehensive. People I know who have worked with her always say they got so much more out of the work than originally expected…Having Michelle as a coach is invaluable.

The Challenge

This client was about to start a new job and had a number of professional concerns, particularly around transitioning out of her current workplace and into the new role.

She was uncertain about joining a new environment and establishing new networks because she wasn’t sure she’d have what it takes. Her lack of confidence was holding her back.

The Solution

One-to-one executive coaching focused on career transition, influence and leadership judgment.

If you’re navigating a senior transition or role change, you may want to explore my executive coaching work.

The Results

She has taken charge of her career and feels in control of her professional identity. She now knows her strengths and how to leverage her expertise to influence others.

Her increased self-awareness helps her better understand and manage herself, as well as read others in her new job. She reacts less defensively now, and when challenging situations arise, she handles them more effectively.

Prior to coaching, she was constrained by her fear of uncertainty. She now has the confidence to embrace it, seeing her successfully transition into the new job, up-level her leadership and establish new professional networks.
