Testimonials from our clients and partners

Michelle is a wonderfully talented, insightful advisor who understands the complex realities of the workplace and the fragility and strength of the human heart. Most of all, she is open, honest and helps others find answers to the sometimes hard to ask—and frequently harder to answer— questions that we all end up asking ourselves at various points in our personal and professional lives.

Regarding the Loud Girls Mastermind: On another note, thank you for last night. I love this group! These women are incredible, truly and not only do they inspire me and showcase the best of our profession, but they are real and authentic and raw and honest and showing me every month that my version of harried and stressed isn’t unusual or strange, but everyone is struggling with their challenges. AND, I think my biggest learning, that there are challenges, unique and hard and wonderful, at every single stage. Thank you for allowing me to be part of it.

We engaged Michelle to help build a better cohesion of purpose amongst our leadership team. We also wanted to encourage the expression of different perspectives and opinions without the fear of ending in deadlock. Michelle has very good skills in developing a trusting rapport across a multitude of personalities. Through individual and group interactions, she helped illuminate where dysfunctionality needed to be addressed head-on. She has also helped strengthen the team’s sense of accountability. We feel the work she has done and continues to do is greatly contributing to our team’s growth and success.

Michelle is highly skilled in guiding and coaching executive level team members. Excelling in deep listening and conversational intelligence she has coached our leaders to improve their leadership, self-confidence, and self-awareness – guiding us toward better thinking, decision-making and business performance.

Michelle Sherbun is insightful, experienced and positive. She is focused, driven and dedicated. Her energy and awareness, along with her vision and collaborative style will prove motivating and empowering to anyone seeking guidance, mentoring or coaching. I have had the pleasure of working with Michelle and I can attest that she is an impressive and accomplished leader. You will find her refreshing, as she is not afraid to use nontraditional techniques to find creative solutions to just about any problem confronting an organization, its board and its executive leadership.

Michelle is a truly remarkable colleague who has a special ability to understand the needs of organizations and how to communicate them to the philanthropic community. Her coaching experiences provide a welcome bonus for working with nonprofit and other executive leaders.

FOUNDERS PRINCIPLES

I believe in the vast potential of our shared humanity. I believe we are born with a deep knowing that is lost in our fears. And if we release those fears, we have the potential to create and build our best selves and a more humane world. People and organizations who grow from the inside out and upside down nurture curiosity, creativity and wisdom. My clients are smart. They already know what they need. As a coach, my job is to simply get them out of their own way to create the possible. And I am humbled by their trust in the process and each and every time we share a breakthrough together.
