“Actionable strategies to manage burnout, to connect better and to conceptualise productive next steps"
Phoebe Knowles, President, Roger Smith Hotel
Michelle is a certified Executive Coach through the Berkeley Executive Coaching Institute.
A common challenge with diversity, equity and inclusion is knowing where to start. I focus on enabling individuals to reflect, review, and explore how to make conscious decisions and take action to become more inclusive, and make organizations more equitable. I hold space to develop a critical awareness of your own identity – where you may hold power and oppression. I use powerful equity centred questions to stretch you and spark a magnitude of possibilities to maximize your personal and professional potential.
Coaching sessions may consist of one-on-one sessions, observations, prepping the participant for meetings, observing communications, and more. Each session will be designed to fully support the participant in whatever goals they have identified.

Leadership Inclusion Coaching
A common challenge when embedding diversity and inclusion into the way we lead is knowing where to start. Leadership inclusion coaching enables participants to examine their most deep-seated beliefs about inequality.
Coaching sessions may consist of one-on-one sessions, observations, prepping the participant for meetings, observing communications, and more. Coaching requires bravery, honesty, and a genuine desire to go deep within yourselves and embrace possibilities to practise radical inclusion. Michelle works with leaders to develop a clear set of goals to move the client along their inclusive journey. Through a series of six one-on-one sessions, she partners with executives and other professionals to help them go deep within themselves, reflect on unconscious biases, make conscious choices to become more inclusive, and take courageous actions to create cultures where employees can be themselves and feel valued for that.
DEI Coaching
Diversity and inclusion issues can present themselves in many ways, so knowing what to fix can seem difficult or even impossible – and the result can sometimes be practices or interventions that are disconnected or even ineffective. Michelle provides a safe space for participants to reflect, review, and explore how they are taking action at work, what lessons they have learnt from this and what else they could be doing to make inclusion the way they work. The coaching series provides long-term value by creating transformational subject matter experts who become role models of inclusivity, live the organizational values, empower others, and realize a vision for creating an inclusive workplace of the future.
DEI Coaching for HR
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has become a top priority for HR professionals, but many often struggle with the self-awareness and commitment needed to catalyze change in their organizations. DEI coaching focuses on evidence-based strategies and practices to maximize the potential of HR professionals to effectively support and engage stakeholders to advance a culture that values difference.
Coaching sessions may consist of one-on-one sessions, observations, prepping the participant for meetings, observing communications, and more. Michelle partners with HR professionals to bring difference into the conversation and create opportunities to find their own answers as often as possible.
Maternity and Paternity Coaching
The transition into parenthood is an exciting one. When employees become mothers and fathers for the first time it can be challenging to navigate the career transition. Through a series of four one-to-one coaching sessions, Michelle provides mothers and fathers with the support they need to take leave and return to work effectively. She provides expectant parents with the skills, confidence and support they need to manage the exciting journey into parenthood. Each session will be designed to fully support the participant in whatever goals they have identified.
