What Is This Program About?
In Module One, we discuss how great leadership starts with self-leadership. In this kickoff module, we explore the mindset shifts that help you lead with strength, clarity, and purpose - especially when the pressure is on. You'll uncover the internal patterns that shape your leadership style and learn how to stay grounded, focused, and resilient no matter what comes your way.
In Module Two, we focus on your emotional intelligence as one of your greatest assets as a leader. This module helps you understand and manage your own emotions, tune into others more effectively, and respond to challenges with empathy and composure. You’ll walk away with practical tools to improve relationships, reduce reactivity, and lead with greater insight and care.
In Module Three, we acknowledge that burnout doesn’t have to be part of the job. Here, we focus on how to protect your energy, set healthy boundaries, and lead in a way that’s sustainable - for you and your team. You’ll learn how to recognize stress signals early, prioritize your well-being, and model balance without sacrificing results.
In Module Four, we recognize that a strong team culture doesn’t happen by accident; it’s shaped by how you lead every day. This module focuses on building trust, boosting morale, and creating a work environment where people feel safe, seen, and motivated to contribute. Learn how to set the tone, guide your team through challenges, and foster connection that drives results.
In Module Five, we remind participants that change is inevitable, and how you show up during change makes all the difference. In this module, we explore how to lead with confidence in uncertain times. You’ll learn to stay grounded under pressure, communicate with clarity, and support your team through transitions with honesty and resilience.
In Module Six, we work with the idea that leadership isn’t just a role, it’s an identity that evolves over time. This module helps you reflect on your growth, reconnect with your values, and let go of outdated beliefs that may be holding you back. It’s about stepping into your next level with confidence, clarity, and a strong sense of self.
In Module Seven, we emphasize the importance of communication: Whether you’re giving feedback, addressing conflict, or presenting a new idea, how you communicate matters. In this module, you’ll strengthen your leadership voice and learn to navigate tough conversations with clarity and care. We’ll focus on building influence without force, so your message lands and your presence resonates.
In Module Eight, this closing module brings it all together. We’ll focus on developing a calm, grounded leadership presence that inspires trust and respect. You’ll also build relational intelligence — the ability to lead through human connection, not just authority — so you can guide others with authenticity, empathy, and strength.
What Participants Are Saying
Stories from leaders who’ve experienced meaningful growth through coaching.
Michelle has a way of getting to the root of what’s really going on underneath, and then helping you do something about it. The tools around emotional intelligence and team dynamics were game-changers. I handle conflict differently now, and there’s a lot more trust on my team.
~ Gail W., Division Lead
I honestly didn’t think I needed coaching, but looking back, I was carrying a lot and just pushing through. This gave me the space to pause, get real with myself, and show up differently. It wasn’t just about being more productive. It helped me lead in a way that actually feels good and sustainable. If you’re in a leadership role, I’d definitely recommend working with Michelle.
~ James L., Project Lead
Before this program, I didn’t realize how often I was falling into old patterns of communication that just weren’t working. I’d leave meetings frustrated, feeling like I had explained myself, but somehow the message still didn’t land. Through Michelle’s coaching, I started to recognize what I was doing (and not doing), and it completely shifted how I show up in conversations. I’m clearer, more intentional, and I’ve seen a big difference in how my team responds. We spend less time backtracking and more time moving forward.
~ Elena F., Team Lead
I didn’t realize how much my own habits were draining me. I’d show up to work feeling off and couldn’t figure out why. This program helped me connect the dots and shift how I think, how I speak up, and how I carry myself. I’m not second-guessing everything now. I’m leading meetings with more confidence, and it actually feels like me.
~ Derek C., Senior Analyst
That session on leadership identity really hit home for me - in a good way. I realized I’d been trying to fit into someone else’s idea of what a strong leader should be. Michelle helped me stop all that and actually lead in a way that feels true to who I am. I found my voice, and I’m finally owning my strengths.
~ Amara D., Operations Manager
