Michelle F

Known for her strategic, engaging, and insightful style, Michelle has built a solid reputation in executive 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 periods of major transformation. She is an accredited coach (ACC) and business communicator (ABC,) and holds a professional certification in change management.

Michelle’s superpower is helping clients uncover theirs. Breakthroughs don’t come from more information—they happen when leaders tap into their strengths and realize their full potential. Michelle pairs this with a practical coaching approach that turns new insights into action, helping clients apply solutions immediately to real-world challenges and accelerate their development.

She brings a forward-thinking approach to coaching, helping 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 her approach to team coaching, where Michelle helps groups uncover shared strengths, build trust, and elevate performance.
