Michelle Johns

Women's Leadership Coach

Leading with a brave heart

Hi, I’m Michelle! I help women like you find the confidence, reduce the overwhelm and take  control of your career. I am all about helping women when they are stepping into their first leadership role to lead with confidence to have an impact fast!

My Story

I spent over 20 years working in the corporate world thinking I had to change who I was to land that next promotion, only to realise the most important thing is to remain who you are.

My Values & Beliefs

Balance

I believe that in this new era of leadership we need a balance of feminine and masculine energy.

I want women to recognise that they have what it takes to lead, to stop fixing themselves and become the best versions of themselves to change the balance of women in leadership roles.

Courage

Confidence comes from having the courage to do the things we have never done before. It means getting comfortable with the feelings that we experience when getting out of our comfort zone. I help you to learn techniques to recognise these feeling and strategies to do it anyway!

Compassion

We live in an era that craves compassionate leadership. We need a balance of masculine and feminine energy in the board-room and throughout the corporate world. I help women to build confidence to lead without losing the femininity inside.

My Approach

My approach is to support women step up into their first leadership role. Often organisations provide leadership training and coaching to senior leaders and executives. Often people are promoted to leadership roles based on their technical skills and are not provided the training or coaching they need to be effective. This leads to self-doubt, overwhelm and a loss of confidence. I provide coaching services that meet you where you are at.

I created the programs that I wish I had when I was first stepping into a manager role. I was 29. I had no formal training and no mentoring. My programs will help you gain confidence, identify your unique leadership style and lead with impact.
