Leadership Development Programs

Transformative Leadership Development

Unlock your team's full potential through human-centered leadership experiences that drive lasting change.

Our leadership development programs blend experiential workshops with individual or group coaching to ensure skills aren't just learned, they're integrated into daily practice. We understand that knowledge without application fades quickly, which is why our approach creates sustainable transformation through continuous reinforcement.

Each program is thoughtfully customized to your organization's unique challenges and aspirations, meeting leaders where they are while charting a clear development path forward.

Our expertise spans essential leadership competencies, such as effective team management, meaningful one-on-one conversations, constructive feedback practices, mindful decision-making, time management, managing and developing your team, prioritization and effective delegation, emotional intelligence and regulation, conflict management, and setting expectations.

Partner with us to develop leaders who achieve business results and forge human connections that power exceptional organizations.

Client Love

  • “I have had the pleasure of working with Michelle since she started her coaching practice many years ago. Through the years she has helped me navigate my career journey by providing me sound advice and wise counsel. She is part of my “personal cabinet”. She is always clear on helping me pressure test my plans and consider all angles and implications. I also mentor many professionals and have referred many people to her over the years. Michelle is an invaluable resource to me.”

    — Executive Vice President, Financial Services

  • “Michelle is an exceptional professional development coach. When she says that she puts you first—in the process and work, in her feedback and recommendations—she means it. I feel so empowered and in control of my career because she not only empowered me from a place of genuine compassion and smarts, but she also taught me how to empower myself better. If this were a five-star rating system, I would give her 19 stars.”

    - Communications Director, Non Profit

  • “I am ending this coaching journey with so many helpful tools and practices that I will carry forward for the rest of my career. A major achievement during my coaching experience was defining my leadership style; also understanding what I want and need in any workplace, which includes an environment/culture that aligns with my personal values.”

    — Executive Director, Advertising

  • “Michelle opened my eyes to the potential in myself that I could never have seen. Through the process of self-evaluation, peer review, and collaborative goal setting Michelle has helped me become both a better leader and a better person. The net effect is that my company is a better place to work and I'm a happier and more satisfied business owner. “

    - Founder
