I help operations-focused companies develop leaders and build great teams

The leaders I work with aren't looking for a quick fix.

They're the ones already investing in their people. Already thinking about retention, development, and what it takes to build a team that works together well, leveraging each other's strength to produce great outcomes. They know that great leadership and teaming doesn't happen by accident and they're looking for someone who can help them make it happen with intention.

The beliefs that guide me

The unlock is in your strengths

Synergy over talent, every time

The results are in the behaviours

When there is no way, create one

I've sat in your seat.

Before I became a consultant, I was a senior leader who hired consultants.

And honestly? I was let down more than once. Not because the people weren't smart or credentialed. They were.

But they'd come in with a laundry list of recommendations I already knew I didn't have the capacity to execute, or they'd deliver a cookie cutter program that didn't fully help us progress from where we were to where we were trying to go.

What I always wanted was someone who would genuinely hear what I was trying to achieve, come alongside me, and tailor their support to what we actually needed.

Someone who could give us a real push in the direction we were already heading and work alongside me like a true business partner.

I never found that person. So I became that person.

That vision in your mind? Let's bring it to life.

Here's where i started...

28 years ago, I started my career on the back of a garbage truck.

I spent the first eight years working my way up from the frontline, and eventually took on my first leadership role at Waste Management, where I rebuilt teams, developed leaders, and implemented strategic plans to hit real business goals.

From there, through genuine passion, I kept climbing.

I finished my corporate career, a national Director for Canada, inside a Fortune 500 company.

I saw firsthand how outdated, transactional leadership culture eroded teams from the inside. And I saw firsthand how effective leadership created camaraderie, loyalty, and results that actually lasted.

That experience, from the truck to the boardroom, is what makes me different. I can walk into any level of your organization and connect. I'm not a stuffy expert who talks above people. I'm someone who has lived the work, led the work, and genuinely loves helping others do it better.

Here's how I work.

I don't do cookie cutter. Every engagement starts with really listening, to where you are, what you're trying to build, and what's getting in the way. From there I tailor everything, the tools, the approach, the delivery, to what your leaders and your team actually need.

My clients tell me they love how easy I am to work with. That I'm responsive, that I bring real value to every session, and that I hear them in a way that shows up in the work. That feedback matters to me because it means we're doing this the right way.

I use proven frameworks like the Fearless Organization Scan, Six Types of Working Genius, Discovery Insights, Everything DiSC, and EQi to give teams a shared language and practical tools they can actually use.

But the frameworks are never the solution, they are simply the enabling tools to help you achieve your goals.

If you've ever wished you had a thought partner who gets both the business and the people side of leadership, that's exactly what I'm here for.

Certified By

Michelle’s coaching style is open, direct, and intuitive.

She is a great listener and has a way of getting you to explore and ultimately reveal more than you might have intended. I’m a very private person and I love how she seemed to tailor her style of questioning to respect those boundaries without ever having to make that request. Her observations were refreshing and insightful and she has a way of holding your feet to the fire without you realizing that is her intention.

As a result, the work we have done together has been impactful!
