“As a clinical leader within Nottingham’s healthcare system, I was initially somewhat sceptical about the value of leadership coaching. However, I have found my coaching sessions with Michelle to be really very valuable.
It can be difficult within a busy and challenging working week to find time to reflect fully and openly on the issues at hand; I find that through insightful questioning and encouraging self-reflection Michelle, enables me to step back from the ‘noise’ and explore from different strategic perspectives, what the underlying issues are, to consider new ways of addressing them, and to set myself clear objectives to progress what are sometimes very difficult subjects.
My self-awareness and analytical abilities have improved greatly. I am grateful to Michelle for this, and for the help she has given me professionally and personally, and I look forward to continuing our coaching relationship.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Michelle’s leadership coaching to others looking to develop further"

"Michelle has an insightful coaching style that has helped me to gain clarity over complex problems.
Despite working in a time of complex organisational change, I have built confidence and navigated leadership challenges with greater ease.
Michelle is a great listener and has the ability ask the right questions that lead to honest reflection. I have come away from every session with a practical plan of action and fresh perspectives that have supported my leadership approach and personal development.
I highly recommend Michelle to anyone who wants to be empowered to make changes and is seeking to develop themselves further as a leader."

" Michelle has a great depth of experience working with and developing teams and individuals from her background in senior NHS management, where she has worked closely with both clinical and non-clinical staff.
As a GP, I have found the insights that she has brought, from the field of management and leadership to our sessions, really interesting and helpful. These are disciplines that we simply do not engage with during our medical training.
Michelle listened really well and was interested about my professional and also some personal challenges. She managed to help me understand where I felt stuck and also to help me frame the questions I needed to ask myself to make progress. Interesting, and sometimes challenging, homework tasks were set, and checked in on.
After coaching, I am more satisfied with the work and roles I currently have and am working, and living in the moment more than I was. I learnt that I could work to improve my confidence, which was a bit of a blind spot for me, and we worked on this.
I would definitely recommend Michelle as a professional coach. As a slightly introverted GP working in leadership, her skills and experience were a good match."

" Stepping into a leadership role after seven years in the same team was both exciting and daunting. I suddenly found myself managing a diverse team during a time of change, with little clarity on how to lead effectively. Working with Michelle provided exactly the support I needed. She created a safe space where I could ask questions, reflect honestly, and build my confidence as a leader.
Through her coaching and mentoring, I learned the importance of clear communication, consistency, and accountability. Michelle introduced me to valuable frameworks like Kotter’s 8-Step Change Model and the Bridges Transition Model, helping me lead my team through change with purpose and structure. Her guidance on leadership storytelling transformed the way I communicate.
Thanks to Michelle, I now feel more focused, empowered, and capable in my role. I’m truly grateful for her support and wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again when faced with future challenges."
