Meet Michelle

Since publishing The Orange Line, I've coached individuals, led workshops and continued to explore self-limiting beliefs, behaviors, and archetypes, particularly when the 'false self' inhibits both women and men from leading with their whole integrated and true self. Prior to this, my curiosity for the development of services to support working parents led me to relocate to the U.S. from Australia and take on a corporate role and global project. For 20+ years I held management, executive (VP & SVP), consulting, and project management appointments. Described by colleagues as an intra/entrepreneur and organizational change agent, I've always been committed to development. In my 20's I co-founded Beaconhills College in Australia with over 3000 students currently enrolled after a tragic bush fire re-development of the community.

My approach to coaching is wholistic, transfotmational and founded upon my own courage to go deeper and embrace change.

In the U.S., I co-authored, the book The Orange Line: A Woman's Guide to Integrating Career, Family & Life, a study we conducted across the U.S. identifying a woman's self-limiting career beliefs and the skills needed to integrate work, family and purpose. My earlier research on organizational culture, is called Work Friendly Policies: Useful or Symbolic and is published in the Asia Pacific Journal of HR.
