WHO I WORK WITH

Founders & Business Owners

Successful on paper. Exhausted behind the scenes. Your business shouldn't rely on you for everything.

Franchisees

You followed the model, did everything right, and it's still all on you. I understand because I've lived it.

Franchisors & Head Office Teams

The owners you're worried about are usually the quiet ones. I help franchise networks re-engage them before it's too late.

HI, I'M MICHELLE

You don't need another business coach telling you to work harder, think bigger or buy another planner.

You need someone who understands what it's like to lie awake at 3am thinking about payroll, difficult conversations, underperforming team members and whether you've accidentally built a business that's running your life.

That's where I come in.

For more than 26 years, I've worked alongside business owners helping them grow profitable, sustainable businesses without sacrificing themselves in the process. I've supported over 1,000 founders and franchisees and understand the realities of business ownership from every angle.

I've run three franchise businesses of my own, spent 17 years developing franchise owners within national networks, and sat at head office level overseeing 849 franchise groups. I've seen what works, what doesn't, and what keeps business owners stuck for far longer than they need to be.

But here's what really matters.

I don't sit at 30,000 feet talking about theory and generic business frameworks. I get into the detail with you.

The pricing decision you've been putting off.

The difficult conversation you've been avoiding.

The team member who's draining your energy.

The business that's grown faster than your confidence as its leader.

Together, we'll look at the numbers, the structure, the leadership and the mindset that's driving it all—because you can't build a business that feels good to run by fixing only half of the problem.

My job isn't to motivate you for an hour.

It's to help you build a business that performs without costing you everything.

"Starting my own business felt overwhelming, and I wasn't sure whether I had what it took. Michelle gave me the confidence, support and encouragement to take the leap and keep moving forward, even when things felt challenging.

She genuinely cares about the people she works with and is as committed to your success as you are. I always knew she had my back.

We're now going through our very first CQC inspection, and I couldn't be prouder of how far we've come."

"When I started working with Michelle I didn't know which direction to take my business. I was uncertain, second-guessing every decision, and couldn't find my own answers.

Michelle has a way of asking exactly the right question at exactly the right moment. Not telling you what to do  helping you trust what you already know.

I came away with clarity on my direction, confidence in my decisions, and real momentum in my business.

If you're stuck and need someone properly in your corner  not just cheerleading but actually helping you break through Michelle is it."

Amy Colins - Award Winning Team Manager  - Slimming World 

"I came to Michelle with big dreams and no idea how to act on them. I was unclear, stuck, and going nowhere fast.

What I didn't expect was someone who would really listen — ask the right questions at the right time and give me that gentle push when I needed it most.

Now I have clarity, a plan that actually feels right for my business, and the confidence to grow it more profitably than I thought possible.

If you're sitting on a dream and not sure what to do next — Michelle is the person you need."

Kim Street - Award Winning Team Manager Slimming World 

Ready to Stop Holding It All Together?

You don't have to keep running a business that feels heavier than it should. I work with a small number of clients each quarter, because that's what proper support requires.

One conversation will show you why it feels this hard, and what to do about it.
