Simpatia

An enormous impact to my productivity and planning

"I have worked with Michelle as my mentor, through the Curtin University Entrepreneurship Business Development Unit, for the past 4 months, and have found it has made an enormous impact to my productivity and planning. She has encouraged me to set both short and long term goals that we check on a regular basis to see how we are going. The constructive and practical advice given with any management issues have also proved invaluable. On a personal level I feel my confidence both at work and out of work has noticeably increased, and I look forward to achieving further success in all areas as our sessions continue."

I am now able to assess exactly where the business is

"Previous to Michelle coming on board with my business I always had money in the bank and just assumed the business was doing well. I had been living a rather day to day, week to week, kind of existence not really knowing how the business was travelling.

Since Michelle's arrival and guidance, through setting up systems and implementing strategies, I am now able to assess exactly where the business is at any given time and more importantly, know exactly where it is going."

Driving me to set my own vision for the future I want for me!!

"For me, making decisions about my life and career are one in the same. I find it difficult to separate into two defined areas - and know that if one is not right, the other suffers and vice versa. I have really valued having Michelle as my coach over the past 4-5 months mostly because she can see the connection and overlay in both my personal and professional worlds.

She has a good knowledge of business and has helped me to focus my efforts and become a better manager. She also shares a warm and understanding perspective about my personal life and some critical decisions I am making in my 30s - and she is driving me to set my own vision for the future I want for me!!"

Coaches without judgement or criticism

"Since working with Michelle McGrath I have been able to maintain a focus on what is really important to my business. Michelle has helped me be purposeful in every aspect of my business – building my confidence and skills with every coaching session.
I have found her practical business sense invaluable to improving my business. Even more, it's her ability to explain the theory of business principles in a simple way that makes it easy for me to apply them to my business and get results.

Michelle has gently guided me to believe that it's all possible and by applying her business coaching processes I have been able to make simple changes to improve my business sales. Above all, I value her genuine commitment to working with me to be the best I can be. She coaches without judgement or criticism, which has allowed me to grow personally and professionally.
Her skill in business coaching and life coaching is truly outstanding and has delivered the results I was looking to achieve."

A deep understanding of people and how to train and motivate them

"It has been a pleasure working with Michelle on improving my business. Small business can be a lonely existence and it has been particularly enjoyable to spend time with someone who is not only interested in my business, but genuinely committed to improving it.

Having read many business books, I knew most of the things I should have been doing, but I just wasn't doing them! Michelle's insight, understanding, and gentle nudging in the right direction have been invaluable.

Michelle has a deep understanding of people and how to train and motivate them. This, combined with her years of experience in building her own successful business, make Michelle not only an effective and authoritative business coach, but a mentor to people like me in the early stages of their business career. It is an added bonus she is such a great listener and genuinely warm and engaging person!"

I walk away on top of the world ready to take on any challenge

"In such a short time you have helped me see what I can achieve in both my new career and my personal life. Your humour and love of life is infectious and your genuine care creates a safe environment to learn and grow. My self-belief and confidence increases each time we complete a session - I walk away on top of the world ready to take on any challenge that may arise.

Your intuition and gentle persistence in helping me to achieve my goals and shift my limiting beliefs are truly amazing gifts. You have succeeded in showing me the importance of "feel the fear and do it anyway" and for this I thank you. Your compassion, support and encouragement... have guided me on my journey to a happy and more fulfilling life."

An insightful, challenging and highly effective coach

"Michelle is an insightful, challenging and highly effective coach. I gained a much greater understanding of my situation and the choices that lay ahead of me. I was able to recognise patterns in my behaviour and understand the thoughts and assumptions driving it.  Michelle's sense of humour and her genuine kindness and care coupled with a results driven 'tough love' approach provide a supportive and questioning forum to explore issues."
