Testimonials

When I started with Coach Michele, I did not know anything about coaching.  I called her because she helped a friend of mine make a career transition that was perfect for her and I had the opportunity to make a change and did not know where to start.

When I first approached Michele, I firmly stated that I wanted to only work on finding a career.  I felt that I was dealing with the other areas of my life.  I did not realize that the patterns of behaviour that affected my professional life were the exact same patterns that affected my personal life.  When I explored and committed to making the best of one, I was given the gift of improving all aspects of my life. 

 
I have gone from doing the things that I thought I needed to do, in a very hurried, disconnected and driven way to being the person that I always knew I was and wanted to be but just didn't think I could or should be.

I have an overwhelming feeling of peace and calm and a solid feeling of I'm where I should be.  I have found a new career that is giving me everything that is important to me and I would not have been able to do it without Michele.  I also feel that my relationships and connections with people around me have grown in such a deep way - it is overwhelming.

I cannot thank Michele enough for the wonderful insight, so beautifully worded and the support and encouragement and belief in me!

I am embarking on a new part of my life and I am so excited!  Instead of a mid-life unravelling, I feel like a door has been opened to the most exciting part of my life  - I can't wait!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Michele!

Working with Michele has been a life changing experience for me. Her coaching sessions consistently provide fresh opportunities to discern the true nature of my life situation, to become clearly aware of where I am, where I really want to go and most importantly, what I need to do to get there. Once the way is clear, Michele's coaching provides a gentle but effective accountability mechanism to keep me on the path that I have chosen. In just a few months, I've seen my stress level drop and my overall personal and professional life satisfaction grow by leaps and bounds.   D.S., USA

I wasn't sure if life coaching was what I needed to help me reach my goals, but after only one month of working with Michele a powerful transformation is taking place in my life.  I love getting up in the morning, I delight in my children and my husband, and I am allowing myself to enjoy the journey.  Michele's guidance, support, and honest feedback is teaching me to embrace my unique approach to life and live in a way that truly brings me joy.  S.T., USA

As a busy entrepreneur, running the daily activities of my business is a full-time undertaking. There is little time available to focus on growth and development - key components of a successful business. I realized I needed help when my lists were getting longer and most of my work time was spent feeling overwhelmed. When I signed up with Coach Michele, I instantly felt like she understood what I was going through. Michele has been instrumental in helping me move forward. She's given me the skill set to prioritize and accomplish tasks, as well as set reasonable deadlines. It's a series of small achievable steps but when I look back I realize that since we started working together, I've come a long way.   J.P., Canada

My name is Michelle Waters, I am a 50 year-old woman, and when I first started with Michele I was a Social Worker for a Foster Care Agency. 
 
I started my life coaching series with Michele while I was still in Florida.  I had moved to Florida a few months earlier to be closer to my daughter. I couldn’t find a job that would pay me what I thought I was worth, therefore, I did not get a job.  I realized that I had made a mistake moving to Florida.  This is where Michele comes in.  I didn’t know where to start.  I was a 50 year-old divorced woman and I had moved across the country and I didn’t know where to start.  I explored purchasing a franchise and then decided against it.  With Michele’s help, I decided to return to California where I knew I could find a job in my line of work. 

I was confused, depressed and I was spinning in circles.  I was having a life crisis. I had sold my home in California, quit my job, and told my friends good-bye.  I even had a going away party with gifts, I wondered if I had to give the gifts back if I returned to California.  (I kept them).  I wanted to return to California.  I returned to my hometown and all my friends and family welcomed me back with open arms and lots of hugs.  I got a job in my previous line of work with the agreement to myself that I would take the job and that it would only be temporary until I decided what to do with my life.

Life Coaching with Michele has helped me decide what I want to do with my life.  My first Life Coaching session was in September 2005 and we have met three times per month since that time and I have made such progress in my life dreams.  I have kept a journal that I write in every time we have a telephone session. I can look back and see where Life Coaching has helped me with the following: Making decisions based on my needs, making decisions without emotions, letting go of guilt, a zest for life, and I learned to say to myself “Is this the best for me because I deserve the absolute best in everything I do”.  And the most helpful thing I have learned is to how to stay focused on my goals. 

With the help of Life Coaching with Michele I have decided to pursue Life Coaching as my new profession.  I have a Master’s of Science in Marriage and Family Counseling.  Life Coaching and Counseling are similar but different, with Life Coaching being more fun and uplifting. I completed Life Coaching Fast Track Session with Coach U in August and I have been working with clients since that time. Coach Michele can help anyone who is going through any life situation.  I highly recommend Michele as an excellent Life Coach.
