TRUSTING MYSELF – Nils Knoop: PR and Communication Manager, Nike Germany

"When I teamed up with Michelle, I had loads of ideas in my mind on what the future could bring for me, but I wasn't sure which road to take. So it was really about clearing my mind on what really feels true to myself and what could be the next steps to take. In the beginning, it felt like this was only about my career track, but the more sessions we had together, it became clear that it was really about me, about what inspires me, who I aspire to be and what makes me happy in the end. There is a lot of decisions to make in your life, some smaller and some bigger. Michelle helped me understand my decision-making process: now having this feeling that I can trust in myself and that the decisions I make will be the right one for me is an amazing feeling."

POWERFUL – Corina Keown: Chief Operating Officer at Iprospect

"Through a number of one-on-one coaching sessions, and by applying her strong intuition, Michelle has truly helped me to get unstuck and into flow when I needed it most. She helped me to gain clarity and confidence on some organisational complexities we were facing in the workplace. The tools and techniques she uses are super effective, and I highly recommend her to anyone. I will definitely make use of her services again."

OUTSTANDING – Niki Schilling: Global Marketing Activation Brand Manager, Heineken International

"Michelle has been hugely important in my development as a person, and as a businesswoman. Because I had met and worked with other coaches, I could understand how truly outstanding she was in her ability to understand and resolve the emotional blockages that had influenced both the personal and business sides of my life. I’ve learned that they are inseparable and, with Michelle’s help, how to stay emotionally fit: she is my #1 'go to' person to keep me in flow, allowing me to achieve in both areas."

GUIDING – Francine Truscott: Personal Trainer, Brisbane Australia

"Michelle Wood has helped me organise and prioritise my life's goals and direction, based on a clearer and deeper understanding of who I am and what I want to achieve. Her services are a wonderful and empowering journey of self-discovery. I must admit, at first I was a bit sceptical about how it would work, or if it was the right kind of program for me. I was thrilled to find it suited me perfectly. I found the process to be very thorough yet easy to follow.

 

Michelle will gently guide you along that path as you work through such things as unblocking negative energy, overcoming limiting self-beliefs or other things you never thought of that could be holding you back from achieving your own goals and dreams. We all want to be the best we can be, or be the best version of ourselves. Whatever your age, gender, goals or dreams, Michelle can take you to that next level in your pursuit of an amazing life. Contact Michelle today, and start a conversation about being a better you."

INNOVATIVE – Maryn van Biljon, Buying and Merchandising Director Women's, Levis Strauss

"Implementing a new women’s strategy at Levi’s, Michelle and her team were able to identify our female consumer, taking a strategic approach through a unique execution and practical steps that were highly inclusive of all participants. The process was unexpected, professional and utilised all of our senses to arrive at a conclusion. I highly recommend this process for any team that needs unity, one vision and complex, disjointed processes to be simplified, where every individual is made to feel that they own their part. Highly motivational!"

 

INSIGHTFUL – Natalie van Blerk, Founder and CEO of Pele Pele Marketing and Travel

"For anyone wishing to start a business, or who’s in the early developmental phases of doing so, I can highly recommend the guidance and assistance of Michelle Wood. This can be an extremely bewildering time, when obstacles seem to loom everywhere and your inner world pulls you from pillar to post. It’s at this time that the constant decisions that need to be made set the foundations for future success, and thus, clarity, insight and understanding are critical. Michelle was able to assist me to flow through the process, tap into my own inner wisdom, and become clear on exactly what I wanted to achieve. What I found exceptional was her ability to remove those self-limiting beliefs. I am extremely privileged to have the assistance of Michelle Wood as an all-round coach, especially for my business and my employees, and will be using her services throughout my business life-cycle and beyond. Thank you!"

TRUSTING – Diane Niemaar, Experience Creator at Pele Pele Marketing and Travel

"It is always great to work with Michelle – she helps me make sense of things. Whenever we work with her, she helps us discover our way to get the best of out of any situation. She has also taught us really to value ourselves and the work we do. This has made a big difference."

RESULTS ORIENTATED – Glen Douglas Haig, CEO at GDH Coaching and Training

"Michelle’s ability to hold the direction to ensure that the outcome is delivered is fantastic. She’s very good at stretching people to find innovative and inventive solutions to what would otherwise be quite a conventional process. Her experience in the corporate and marketing worlds is very evident when she works with you, because she’s very thorough. An outstanding feature is that she doesn’t let you off the hook: she’s very probing, and she goes through everything step-by-step. Sometimes she can push you to do things you wouldn’t have thought you were capable of. She stretches everyone, and has had a very positive impact. She’s just remarkable at what she does."

LEADERSHIP – Melanie Raizon, Personal Coach

"Exceptional leadership of an inspiring and motivating workshop is what can safely be expected of Michelle Wood. Her years of professional work in corporate branding inform the manner in which she inspires her group to think creatively. She holds the group in its entirety from start to finish. You will leave her sessions astounded by what you have achieved. In short, Michelle is pretty amazing!"

DIRECTION – Egon Tania, Creative Director at Fata Morgana (AfrikaBurn Project)

"One of the most unique and exciting processes I’ve ever experienced. Our seemingly disjointed and creative team found its own clear and highly workable solutions within just one session. I’ve never experienced such a turnaround before!"

CLARITY – Simon O’ Callaghan, Audio-Visual Specialist at Fata Morgana (AfrikaBurn Project)

"I could see in my mind’s eye what I wanted to happen, and Michelle helped me to get it all out and integrated with the rest of our team. It was great having people to help us gain such exceptional clarity with our visions and how to achieve them."

TRUSTWORTHY – Liani van der Merwe, Business Development Specialist

"Although I felt I knew exactly what needed to happen with regard to responsibilities and logistics, communicating it with a group of highly artistic and creative people was a bit challenging. Michelle made this a simple and easy process, by helping everyone realise their roles, contributions and responsibilities in one quick half-day session. Wow!"

FOCUS – Dylan Stevens, Senior Formulation Chemist at Vital

"Being part of a creative collective, often ideas and inspiration are in ample supply, although this is only of value if all individual 'energies' can be focused towards a point. The session with these people did that and more. We really came together after that, and it was a fundamental help. We seemed to get an understanding not only of the key points, but also the stepping-stones to the major goals. It far exceeded my initial expectations."

COLLABORATIVE

Co-presenting with Glenn Douglas Haig: "I’ve co-presented with Michelle before; I feel safe with her experience, and comfortable with her capacity to run a workshop. We had something like 40 or 50 people for two days, all top people, and she was totally calm, and 'in her skin'. When it was her turn to develop or present the workshop, she was detailed, thorough and precise. She writes everything up on the boards for you, and by the time you wrap up whatever session you’ve been doing, she’s got a beautifully organised and arranged document, which then forms the basis of a map of where to go to from there. She stretches everyone, and she’s had a very positive impact on the people that we’ve worked with together."
