Testimonials

 

 
 
I knew 50% of the competition was my interview, so I sought out a coach who, by reputation, could coach me while allowing it to feel organic to my voice and tailored to my core values. Michelle worked with me to refine my personal stories and coached me on how to make those stories come to life via short sound bites. I can confidently say that I would not be Mrs. Pennsylvania America 2022 without her expertise and guidance.
— Tamara Abney, Mrs. Pennsylvania America 2022
 
 
Michelle is a master of social navigating. Her intercultural etiquette and protocol expertise is indispensable when engaging with our Japanese, Korean, and Israeli business partners. It helps to have an executive coach and trusted adviser acting as a sounding board when it comes to fast decision making and private business matters.

Michelle did a phenomenal job with our senior class at Currey Ingram Academy! She immediately established rapport with the students and showcased her expertise. Her guest lectures covered a range of important topics, from interviewing skills and body language to anxiety reduction and more...and the students got a lot out of each and every one. Michelle was personable, poised, and professional and, in the words of one student (who didn’t even know I was listening): “Mrs. Holden is super smart. She really knows what she’s talking about!”
— Everton Rocca, Upper School English teacher at Currey Ingram Academy
 
 
Michelle transformed the way my partner and I approach the challenge of growing our business. We saw immediate benefits based on her insight and guidance related to growth and marketing strategies. Her no-nonsense approach cut through the noise and made us focus on what was really important to our brand, our clients, and us.
I consider her one of our greatest assets.

I was fortunate upon graduating from NYU to work with known Hollywood directors and actors as an assistant director in big budget films like King Kong. As I move into corporate communications jobs, the interviews have gotten more competitive and I needed a serious coach to help me with phone interviewing skills, negotiations, and those soft skills that we millennials get called out for all the time. Michelle was the perfect communication coach. She has a way of transferring skills that really works. In fact, I have adopted most of them and applied them to my personal life. Life is good.
