There are many ways you and I can work together.
Over the years, I’ve found that my most successful clients come to me when they need to:
- Think things through
- Break down challenges into doable small steps
- Figure out a plan
- Step up as a leader
- Meet specific goals
- Handle interpersonal dynamics and office politics better
- Get clear
- Learn new skills
- Find deeper meaning and purpose
- Have more consistent success
To get there, we work in focused coaching sessions – multi-day or single day retreats, weekly or bi-weekly coaching sessions, or customized solutions based on you and your unique working style and needs.
In our work together, you can count on me to help you get crystal clear so you can navigate your world with ease and success. I’ll use assessments, tools and homework to make sure you continue to grow and learn ways to deal with your particular challenges. You can tell me anything – our work together is 100% confidential – and I hold your confidences close.

The Partnership – Annual Coaching
A full year – unlimited, on-demand, when it suits you – of coaching. This package is designed for the executive whose work is fast-paced and high-stakes. You’re at the top or near the top of the pyramid in your organization, and are navigating the demands of managing people and making the vision you have for your organization a reality. Office politics may be an issue. Things come at you fast. And you may be thinking about “what’s next”.
Regardless of what you’re facing, you want to have impact and you want to make sure you keep moving forward toward your own personal goals. You might be fielding inquiries about other opportunities. Maybe you need to reconnect and determine whether you remain in the right spot for your career growth.
Where else are you going to find a experienced, thoughtful, purposeful partner who can give you the unbiased and unfiltered feedback you need to do your best work? That’s what coaching is all about, and in our year’s work together you will emerge a stronger, more confident, more successful person.

The Club – An Affordable Coaching Solution
I offer a program for folks who need brief, laser coaching on specific issues. The Club has been around for over seven years serving so many wonderful people around the world – I love this program. Members receive two one-on-one thirty minute phone coaching sessions per month and which is enough to maintain their momentum toward change and growth. It’s a great program for past clients, early-career people, people who know very clearly who they are and what they need to go, and those on a budget. It is not for folks who’ve never had a coach before or who like to ponder their next moves. Members can cancel at any time.
Visit The Club for more information on how this program works.
Monthly Membership: $375/mo.
Customer Policies
- All coaching packages must be used within 12 months of purchase. After 12 months, unused sessions expire.
Coaching packages are non-refundable and non-transferable. - I have a preference for phone coaching sessions as they allow me to have a larger impact with more people around the world. If you live in the DC area, or are visiting, I am often able to meet with you at once the beginning of our coaching program if it works logistically. There are no in-person meetings with Club membership. Retreats and intensives can be in-person or virtual (by using Zoom conferencing).
- I use an online scheduling system which makes organizing your sessions easy.
- Coaching works best when we have regularly scheduled sessions. Please use the online system to set up recurring appointments at the most convenient time for you.
- If you have to cancel, I ask for 24 hours advance notice.
- For each session:
- Plan to be in a quiet, private space when we’re working and be prepared to take notes
- Prepare the topic(s) you’d like to work on, and/or results of your homework
- Please call right at your scheduled time. I will wait 15 minutes and if you haven’t called by then, I will consider the session over
- If you have something you’d like me to review before our session, please send it as far in advance as you can!
- Let’s leave nothing unspoken, shall we? If you’re unhappy at any time – or if you’re deliriously happy! – say something. I promise I will, too.
When I first came to Michele I was at a personal crossroads. While I loved my marriage and my career and my life in general, I wasn’t happy; and had no idea how to get out of the funk. Michele helped me to recognize what was going well in my life, what wasn’t going quite so right. She offered perspective that good friends or family couldn’t give – because she came to me as an unbiased observer of my life. With her guidance, I began to recognize small triumphs, and how important those little victories are towards greater self-worth. She let me discover and explore my faults and pitfalls in a safe way, and how best to deal with them (and use them to my advantage). I can honestly say that I am better for having known Michele, that she was a positive force in my life.

As Seen In
Michele and I have been working together for 8 months and in that time I have made great strides in both my professional and personal life. She has a keen intuition and gentle demeanor which enable her to ask the right questions in the right way, so I feel safe to explore uncomfortable and powerful issues. Typically when we finish a session, she will e-mail me a book, article, link or reference that is spot on to what we were just discussing. I don’t know how she does it. She is a first rate executive coach that I highly recommend for her creative approach, thoughtful technique and superb listening skills.
