WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...

We as humans always face challenges personally and professionally. I think all of us are in a transition at some point in our lives, and having the guidance of a trusted, talented, compassionate, intuitive Coach is a game changer. Michelle is that game changer. 

Over this past year, Michelle has provided me with a safe place to engage authentically with her on both my professional (managing C-suite executives) and personal life (relationships), which has been instrumental in so many incredibly powerful life changes. I am an extremely private person, with a no nonsense style, so to be able to find someone that I can trust and who has a no BS attitude, to find a way to help me figure out what exactly I want to do, why I haven’t done it yet, and how to create that change in my life is very rewarding. To say that I look forward to my sessions with Michelle is an understatement.

Michelle has helped me to develop tools, techniques and insights that not only significantly improved my wellbeing, but also paved the way for my goals. Michelle is genuinely compassionate, warm, caring, intuitive to my needs, endlessly encouraging, and her ability to get to the root of the issue is remarkable (if not magical). She is a trusted partner in my adventure which is still unfolding. There is nobody else I want to trust with this role. 

Equally important, she’s a witty lady who instantly makes you feel comfortable. Every session with Michelle has been therapeutic, and I am a better person today through her dedication and exceptional gift at listening deeply.  I have referred Michelle to several of my executive colleagues, and all have been grateful to me for finding her. If you want to know what a breakthrough looks like, hire Michelle as your Coach! Count yourself lucky to work with her, and even luckier to be her friend. ~ G.M.A., San Francisco

Working with Michelle Scott has been one of the highlights of my career thus far. Her insight and perspective truly helped me clarify and articulate my goals in a way that expressed the heartfelt nature of my intentions. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a soul-centered coach who will demonstrate her commitment to your life and business over and over again.  ~ Kelly O’Connor

As a woman business owner and entrepreneur, I was running myself ragged trying to do and be everything to everyone.  I never felt like it was enough.  Michelle helped me focus on the priorities of my personal and business life and find compassion for myself.  This helped me focus and get out of my own way to create the life I was seeking.  Many thanks to Michelle for her insights and ability to hold space for me to come and shed my layers. ~ MRL

Michelle offered me a complimentary session so that I could learn more about what she does. I came to our session with an issue I thought was about the weight I was carrying on my body and fitting into my clothes, but the awareness I got was that it’s really about how to be ok with me as I am first. I loved that I had this awareness in such a short time together knowing that it may have taken me months or years to have on my own. The truth is, I may have never had it on my own. ~ CS

Michelle is probably the best coach I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot of coaches. She truly hears what I need. ~ SA

I met Michelle Scott at a Money Management luncheon.  We started talking about her passion and what she does.  When I heard the term “Authentic Self” I took pause because it felt like something I needed and wanted to hear. I made a well thought out decision to work with Michelle and we began meeting the beginning of March.  In the past, when I’ve worked with personal coaches, it has all been about goal setting, time management, etc.  Working with Michelle was very different and just what I had been looking for.  All I can say is that time spent with Michelle is worth every penny, actually more than every penny.  She helped me work toward forgiving my harsh judgments of myself along with bringing amazing new people into my circle.  One of my favorite sayings Michelle gave me was asking myself if an action or activity I was thinking about doing served me.  She also was very comfortable calling me on my crap which can be painful, but without clearing out that “stuff,” one has a hard time moving on.

I highly recommend Michelle Scott. She has a skill set that goes far beyond what I’ve experienced in the past. Michelle is a joy to work with and I looked forward to every session I spent with her. ~ Leslie RP

         I would best describe Michelle as an intuitive coach that gets to what is NOT being said and then to what NEEDS to be said to support others in their transformation.  To me, what sets her apart from others, both personally and as an entrepreneur is her intuition, humor, curiosity and passion for growth and learning (evolving).  I feel that she has a unique gift for listening and reflecting back without judgment.  And for me, it has allowed me to see how I have been blocking my own happiness.  And as a BONUS, she is hysterically funny and I love laughing with her.  One of Michelle's gifts is seeing the potential in others and supporting them in seeing it too!  ~ Patricia J.

 

        I feel like it would've taken me years to achieve what I did in just 6 months working with Michelle.  The accountability was huge for me and every time I got stuck in my business, she knew just what I needed to help me get going again.  I describe Michelle as my rockstar coach who is amazing at helping me make sense of why I'm stuck and helping me move past/through it!  She is intuitive and amazing at holding the space during our sessions which made me feel like she really 'got' me and was able to help.  Since I started working with Michelle, I've created my dream online nutrition coaching business, I've been able to almost double my income and I've been blessed to travel all over the world, from Sydney, Australia to Paris, France.  I feel like Michelle has been able to help me bring out my maximum potential and I'm so grateful to her for her knowledge, expertise and support.  ~ Stoney E.

I have had the honor of knowing Michelle Scott as a friend and fellow coach for over eight years.  Michelle brings a unique combination of wisdom, intuition and mastery to her clients that is unmatched in the many coaches I have known in my 20+ year career as a personal empowerment coach.  If you are looking to truly get in touch with what is holding you back in a loving and supportive environment and create a powerful vision and action plan for making your dreams a reality, look no further than Michelle Scott.  You will be extremely happy and blessed that you did.  ~ Chris Natzke

 

        A good friend recommended Michelle when I was in the market for a life coach.  My objectives were to get clear on my calling in life and work towards that.  At the time, I was feeling emotionally exhausted, time starved and drained.  I was busy at work and finding it difficult to prioritize my life's work in starting my writing career.  Well, I found through our first session, that I was really dealing with the fear of myself.  This was a powerful revelation for me and helped me get aligned with what the Creator has called me to do with boldness and confidence.  Michelle was vital to this major discovery and held me accountable to remove some of the roadblocks and projects that were in my way and finally make significant progress on my book!  She was fun to work with, honest with me (and I can be intimidating) and encouraging.  I felt supported, loved and valued.  She takes the time to listen and ask thought provoking questions.  She helps you find your answers and calls out things that need more elaboration.  She is transparent and authentic.  I loved working with Michelle and I would highly recommend her to anyone no matter where on the journey!  ~J. Harris

 

        I cannot say enough positive things about working with Michelle as my Life Coach.  I came to her as I was ending a 20 year marriage and at a very painful time of transition in my life at age 50.  Michelle helped me to learn the skills I needed to release pain from my body and the skills to practice self-forgiveness and self-love that I so needed in my time of being stuck in rumination and suffering.  I am moving forward in such a positive way now re-discovering my strengths and passions and finding new purpose in my life.  I could not have made it through this transition with such good energy without Michelle's insights and guidance as my Life Coach.  I am very grateful for her!!!  ~ J. D.

 

        Spending time with Michelle Scott has literally transformed my life.  I sought her out for guidance about some superficial issues that were bothering me.  I just knew I could be a better version of myself.  Michelle was so easy to talk to that she quickly took me to places that I never dared to go alone.  She asked me the thoughtful and transformational questions that would have never even occurred to me.  With her gentle guidance, we quickly went deeper bringing forth layers of myself that were previously dormant.  I am now seeking out positive options for my future that were never even on my radar prior to our sessions.  Michelle's gentle, encouraging and positive support has made a huge difference.  She is real, honest, easy to talk to and someone I highly recommend as a coach.  ~Lisa L.

I did a coaching session with Michelle. It was quite powerful. She's got a strong intuitive sense that directed our session into some very authentic places that I could not get to myself. I left the call feeling empowered and uplifted. I would highly recommend her for someone like me who is a dreamer/doer. Someone who might have a tendency to bulldoze their softer intuitions in favor of making a "smart choice,” like me. Michelle gave those voices a place to be heard, and I just dropped into a peaceful, calm place. That single session is now triggering a cascade of big, self-honoring choices around my career. Thank you for your calm, soft & strong presence. Michelle walks softly, but carries a big stick. That stick is her ability tap into your truth and call it out. Love you Michelle. Thanks again!! - Jesse

My journey was looking beyond personal development and 'DOing' to desiring spiritual growth which is about 'BEing'. Personal development only took me so far.  How many books on time management, leadership principles, and business efficiency can I read and how many programs can I attend?  These all made me a better DOer, but Michelle helps people become better BEers. After working with Michelle for one hour, I realized her coaching is not personal development, but Soul development.  She created space that permitted me to express experiences at a level I would not usually share.  She allowed me to open my Soul and be heard in a way that was loving, accepting and empowering.  ~ Craig S.

 

        In my experience of Michelle I have felt so completely supported and loved, cared for and nurtured.  I feel like she sees my beauty and strength even when I have not been able to see it.  She has seen and beheld the great power in me when I have been unwilling to claim it or own it.  She sees beyond excuses and justifications and calls myself and others to a greater expression of who and what we are.  And she does it with joy, fun, laughter and silliness.  I have witnessed her braving the challenge of showing up authentically in her own life and with her own family, regardless of the circumstance or situation.  After working with Michelle as my coach, I am noticing that I am consistently giving myself more and more permission to be exactly who I am and loving it.  I also notice that I give myself a lot more credit than I used to and I am experiencing my value.  I used to doubt myself a lot more than I do now and I am stepping into a greater vision of myself and allowing a fuller expression of who I am in the world.  It is really interesting to me that sometimes I felt resistance to having a session or I tried to talk myself out of it with excuses (I have too much to do, no time, nothing going on, etc) and invariably after participating in a session I feel great, more expansive, in touch with my Higher Self and inner wisdom.  I see my life from a different perspective and I experience more peace.  I am grateful that I am not left to my own devices to decide when I need a session or not.  Through working with Michelle I have developed a greater capacity to see my own preciousness and to see it also in my surroundings reflected back to me.  I have also been encouraged to more fully own the value of my skills/talents and gifts and what I have to contribute during my life.  The Sacred space and time that she holds and creates for me and having that loving container offered to me is invaluable.  ~Dharmini C. 

 

        I hired Michelle because I was having some sleep and anger problems that were affecting my relationship.  I got her name from someone who has been coached by Michelle for years.  During my experience of being coached by Michelle, I found techniques that allowed me to stay calm and to concentrate on the good rather than the bad that we experience in our lives.  I would definitely recommend hiring her.  She has a unique ability to sift through the BS that we all can experience in our busy lives and give you methods to overcome. ~ Gary C.

 

        When I was introduced to Michelle, I was looking for help with my hectic life.  I felt distracted constantly.  I needed help with organizing and focusing my life.  Michelle helped me by meeting with me every 2 weeks reminding me that I need to be kind to myself and more self forgiving.  She provided me with tools to do that and the result is that I don't feel so hectic all of the time.  I am starting to be able to get organized and I feel more grounded. I really appreciated Michelle's genuine love for her work.  She likes to laugh, talk and provide people with tools to live a rich and fulfilling life.  Michelle is easy to talk to and upbeat.  She helps people to realize their potential by getting to the core of what is holding them back and then helping guide them to reach their potential.  She helps people understand that they know the answers, they just need to take the leap of faith and not be afraid of failing.  As an entrepreneur she reaches people by letting them talk to her first without any expectation or pressure.  Right away it is evident that she is truly passionate about helping people in whatever way they need.  This has been an enriching and life changing experience for me.  It has allowed me to understand myself better and let go of the things that create chaos in my life in order to be more productive.  I would highly recommend Michelle to people that are looking for a life toolbox and a mentor that truly enjoys helping people achieve their best life!  ~ Stacy E.

 

        As moms, we judge ourselves in the harshest way.  As a mom of three, a wife, an entrepreneur, a daughter, a friend, I had found myself in a very low place.  I had experienced depression before and knew I wasn't that low, but I needed help reorganizing my thoughts, my routines, and my perspectives.  I was introduced to life coach Michelle Scott during a motivational tele-call she was speaking on.  Towards the end of the call, Michelle asked the questions, "Think of that one thing that you spend a lot of time thinking about."...I did.  It was my weight.  Then she asked, "Put a percentage of time that you spend each day thinking about that one thing."  Unfortunately, my response was 90%.  These of course were mostly negative thoughts.  She helped me realize how much I was allowing negative energy to fill my day, keeping me from reaching my goals.  Coach Michelle helped me realize how important I am to myself.  She has shared lots of valuable information with me that I plan on using the rest of my life.  My biggest weakness has been allowing stressful situations to control my mood and my day.  She taught me ways to de-stress as well as ways to just stop and enjoy life.  The most beneficial nugget I took away from my time with her is that she encouraged and taught me how to believe in myself and be in the moment!  The most exciting news is that now 6 months later, I am down 10 pounds without much exercise.  I feel great mentally and physically!  Thank you Michelle for believing in me when I didn't.  ~Allison P.

 

        Prior to meeting with Michelle I was on a journey to discover my true self along with expanding my goals and personal happiness.  I read many self help books and was always doing anything I could to "quench" my self discovery thirst.  With all of my efforts I was seeing changes in some aspects of my life but not others.  There were many things that I knew I couldn't wrap my head around - thanks ego:)!  Since meeting with Michelle, I have found a new insight in a lot of the areas that were most troubling!  She is patient, thoughtful when she speaks and has an incredible energy surrounding her.  After three months of working with Michelle, I have had several monumental epiphanies and know there are many more to come.  With Michelle's help I have a better sense of myself, my direction (both personally and professionally) and have a new found joy that is unexplainable.  I realize that each day holds new opportunities to better myself and I look forward to continuing my journey with Michelle's incredible support.  ~ Victoria D.

 

        My life coach experience with Michelle Scott was remarkable.  When beginning our sessions together I had a few hesitations.  I was very nervous about sharing all my “skeletons in my closet”, wondering if she would be judgmental.  Little did I know, it was the complete opposite.  Through working with Michelle, I have noticed a shift in my thinking as a whole.  I have learned to let things go that I cannot control.  I’ve gained a greater respect for my own wellbeing and I’ve learned that life is too short to not enjoy the small things.  Some of the qualities I appreciate the most from Michelle were her understanding views and her loving nature.  At no point did I ever feel like Michelle wasn’t with me and showing empathy about everything I shared with her.  As a result she gave me tools and coping skills to work on during our time together as well as afterwards.  After my work with Michelle I have grown to love painting which helps regulate my emotions, journaling to release any negative emotions and to be open and honest with the people around me.  My biggest accomplishment from working with her was I learned to love ME.  Because of these changes I have recommended Michelle to several of my friends. So…if you are looking for support through life’s most difficult moments or just want to work through some issues I would definitely recommend Michelle Scott to be your life coach.  Good luck to all that read this and thank you Michelle for dedicating your time and knowledge to me, it will never be forgotten.     ~W. Smith

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
