ABOUT MICHELLE
I'm a passionate writer, coach, personal development teacher - dedicated to helping you take your next step and mindfully lead yourself through your fears, hesitations and obstacles at work and life.
My interest in the field of positive psychology sprouted at a young age when I first saw the connection between mindset and what people achieve and perhaps more importantly, mindset and how people feel.
For over thirty years I’ve been researching, training, coaching and writing about self leadership (leading your inner landscape and transforming how you feel on the inside) – and have worked with leaders across a vast array of organisations.
I was an honorary lecturer in Leadership for over fifteen years at the University of Technology, Sydney and have presented extensively at conferences, retreats and workshops, helping people grow personally and professionally.
Through working with thousands of people I have seen fascinating patterns of how mindfulness and mindset impacts our success and happiness, and how simple strategies and practices can rapidly transform our happiness.
My background brings together positive psychology, human performance, writing practices, qigong and mindfulness practices.
I’m passionate about helping people understand themselves on a deeper level, unlocking clarity and helping people make changes for their wellbeing and happiness.
