Michelle F

Known for her strategic, engaging, and insightful style, Michelle has built a solid reputation in leadership coaching, team performance, and organizational change. Her approach is shaped by more than 25 years of operational and consulting experience, including senior leadership roles in healthcare and the insurance and finance sectors during times of major transformation.

Michelle’s superpower is helping clients uncover their own. Breakthroughs don’t come from more information or advice—they happen when leaders tap into their core strengths and realize their full potential. Balancing this, Michelle brings a practical focus to coaching, introducing skill-based models so clients can apply new approaches directly to real-world challenges.

By combining psychometric assessment insights with her extensive experience delivering leadership programs, Michelle ensures each client engagement is designed to maximize leadership potential.

With a particular interest in AI and leadership, Michelle brings a forward-thinking approach to coaching. She helps leaders create environments that inspire collaboration, creativity, agility, and innovation. Clients can count on her to be on top of best practice and emerging trends in this evolving world of work.

This same collaborative energy shapes Michelle’s approach to team coaching, where she helps groups uncover shared strengths, build trust, and elevate performance.
