Transformational! This one word would describe both my experience working with Michelle and its impact on my professional decisions. My time spent discussing, analyzing and processing problems of practice with Michelle became sacred in my busy schedule. The targeted questions posed, the insight and perspective sharing offered by Michelle forced me to evaluate with greater clarity my decisions and at times shift my thinking and approach. Techniques offered and research shared by Michelle increased my understanding and effectiveness with stakeholders. I believe this partnership experience has helped me become a better listener equipped with the ability to reflect, strategize and energize the stakeholders whom I work with daily. As one who was skeptical of the impact of coaching on one's effectiveness as a leader, I am now the first to suggest it to a colleague seeking professional support

The leadership training with Michelle Claffey has been a wonderful experience. Michelle is very thoughtful and designed the training such that it was highly personalized and exactly met my needs. Michelle’s coaching helped me better understand different types of leadership and gain confidence in my own leadership style. Michelle also worked with me to implement specific steps to achieve my personal career goals and gave me the confidence and tools to actively pursue my aspirations. The coaching with Michelle has not only grown my confidence, but it has also encouraged me to pro-actively follow my desired career path and gave me clarity as to what to do next.
