Hello, I’m Michelle

About Me
A Lancashire lass originally, I’m now an honorary Londoner and have lived in the beautiful, historic Royal Borough of Greenwich for nearly 2 decades. Owned by 2 rescue greyhounds, I can’t ever imagine life without dogs in it.
I never took the traditional route with my university education! Instead I did things the hard way, working full time in HR while studying part time. And I worked my way up the ladder and collected a Masters, moved to London with my husband and my last HR job was as an HR Manager in the NHS.
I’d always had a dream to run my own business. And an opportunity presented itself when I inherited a property to become a landlord. That’s where my journey as a small business owner began. And while the property side of things went well, my first attempt to start a business did not! I did no research. I just started. And I failed. But in failure we learn so much. At the time I wouldn’t have said that, but looking back now I can see it for what it was: the mere start of my journey as a business owner. And ultimately, it’s what brought Clarity & Action and my work as a coach into being. I am a Master Coach, Master NLP Practitioner, a Master Practitioner of Hypnosis, and a licensed Systems Business Coach®.
And a little fun fact about me. in 2018 I rowed the English Channel for charity alongside a team of 6 amazing women. We raised over £12,000.00. Will I do it again? Absolutely, definitely not!
About Coaching
Often people reach out to a coach when things are going wrong and they finally realise they need some help. And that’s ok, because walking the lonely path of a business owner when things aren’t going as you’d hoped or dreamed can make you feel extremely isolated and alone.
But it can be looked at the other way too: working with a coach early on in your journey as a business owner is an investment that will pay dividends straight away. Why? Because it gives you a place to explore all of your options. A sounding board to chat through the things that the other people in your life who don’t run businesses can’t possibly understand.
Coaching will:
- Make you feel seen, heard, understood and respected
- Support you to move past inner blocks and limiting beliefs
- Will help you to realise that you and your ideas matter
- It will empower you to move forward
- Support you to take action and make progress more quickly
- Give you the motivation to continue, even when times are difficult
- Enable you to have the space to explore creative ideas, solutions and options
- Build your resilience
- Enable you to build an efficient, consistent business that delights your clients or customers
- Ultimately enable you to create more money and greater productivity and to take your business beyond whatever is happening now.
So whether you’re feeling stuck, have reached a dead end in your business that you can’t see a way through, or want to get ahead by investing in coaching now, reach out and let’s have a no-obligation chat.
My 1:1 coaching sessions are open to all regardless of age or gender.
