CRACKED OPEN: A JOURNEY TO A RESILIENT AND INDEPENDENT MINDSET

“In discovering and owning our True Selves, we will find confidence, reclaim our voices, and be empowered by the brilliance that emerges when we allow ourselves to be cracked open.”

The Power of Change
Change is not something to fear but a powerful force for growth and self-discovery. Embracing life’s challenges unlocks the potential for transformation.

Breaking Free from Systems
Recognize how systems of power and oppression shape your choices and beliefs. Understanding and navigating these forces allows you to reclaim your True Self and live authentically.

Uncovering Bias
Unconscious biases affect how we perceive ourselves and others. Confronting them is key to achieving personal growth.

Reclaiming Self-Trust
Self-trust is the cornerstone of healing and empowerment. This book offers tools to strengthen your inner voice and intuition.

I'm your go-to guide for navigating change, embracing growth, and living authentically.

I’m passionate about helping people and driving meaningful change that truly benefits them. While the work isn’t always easy, I can confidently say it’s worth it in the end. As an expert in adult development, relational dynamics, problem-solving, branding, and agility, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the table.

Whether as a consultant, coach, author, or speaker, I specialize in guiding individuals and organizations toward achieving their goals with efficiency and clear, actionable strategies.

Fun fact: I absolutely love optimizing change, teaching the Enneagram, and a great cup of coffee!

LET’S WORK TOGETHER

With over 30 years of experience in leadership coaching, consulting, and a clinical background, I bring a unique psychological perspective to our work. I have helped thousands of organizations and individuals improve their ROI and wellbeing by practicing self awareness and social mindfulness.

Together, we’ll tackle leadership challenges and build essential emotional intelligence skills:

  • Communication

  • Navigating Difficult Conversations (ie: conflict)

  • Giving and Receiving Effective Feedback

  • Goal Setting

And because we learn best when we laugh and play, I’ll keep things engaging and fun—growth doesn’t have to be serious all the time!

  • Coaching

    Guiding executives, high-performing professionals, and emerging leaders to strengthen their communication and self-management skills.

MICHELLE’S CLIENTS INCLUDE:

  • "As an international nonprofit professional, I found the coaching by Michelle extremely valuable. Diving deeper beyond the original Enneagram assessment helped me see ways I could grow as a leader and a person. Application of what I learned is helping me be more effective as I work with people and understand myself better in many different scenarios."

    -Natalie N.

    International Non-profit Director Leadership Engagement

  • "Being coached by Michelle was both challenging and encouraging. Challenging because I discovered some of the 'why' for my behavior. And encouraging because she gave me tools to handle my fears, my blind spots, and my wrong motivations in relationships. As one of the older members of the group, my only regret is that I had not come across this teaching earlier in my career in a local non-profit. It truly can be a game changer!"

    -Karen R.

    Non-Profit Leader and Mentor

  • "As a female software executive, Michelle helped me to better understand myself and in turn, better understand others. In eight short sessions, I was able to better empathize with those I interact with as well as get clarity around my own needs. I discovered real results in a very short time! Thank you Michelle!"

    -Gina S.

    Software Sales Executive

  • “I am so grateful for Michelle’s ability to balance empathy with urgency, to simultaneously think strategically and holistically, and to help clients look to the future while navigating hurdles from the past.”

    -Shelby B.

    Executive Communication Strategist

  • "As a small business owner, I’m on a journey to better myself, understand my reactions, my habits & my behaviors. Michelle equipped me with tools to better understand myself. I recognize more now how I show up in the world, my strengths and areas where I can improve. I know how to have the “uncomfortable” conversations which help me step into my leadership role with confidence. I highly recommend Michelle and her coaching methods."

    -Olesya V.

    Entrepreneur

  • "As a career coach working in a nonprofit, I found myself hitting a wall in difficult interpersonal scenarios. By joining one of the Leadership Groups, not only was I able to discover a better understanding of my strengths, I was also able to identify some of the road blocks in my job. I had a lot of A -Ha! moments that actually changed how I communicate with coworkers and how I handle difficult situations. Another amazing part of our group were the other women I met! What an amazing experience to listen to others make discoveries about themselves and the world around them. Priceless!"
