After 20 years working in the same industry, surviving countless restructures and transitioning from “career girl” to “working mum”, I felt I had somehow lost myself along the way. A lot of my most recent professional moves had been driven by circumstances rather than being planned or wanted. I felt like I was on a treadmill but no longer knew why I was on it or where I was going.

Working with Michelle has been a really enriching experience, as well as a real pleasure. The fact that Michelle follows a structured programme really appealed to me as it felt like I was working step by step towards a goal. For every session I had a clear understanding of where I was in the process and some exercises to work on, which I really enjoyed. I feel I have reconnected with myself and with what I want out of life and out of work. I also feel liberated from preconceived ideas and the judgement of others.

This renewed self-understanding gave me confidence to approach yet another work restructure with real clarity on what I wanted to get out of it and what I was and wasn’t prepared to compromise on. I feel I am back in control of my working life and I am excited about the future.
