High-Impact Coaching for Women of Color

ONE-ON-ONE COACHING

 

Pursue your WHY and let it guide you to success.

My mission is to help women of color gain confidence, connection, fulfillment, and success in their professional and personal lives through coaching.

We start with your vision – your WHY.
What does success look like for you? What is the significance of the goals you’ve set for yourself? What fills you with joy? How do you communicate your WHY to get to where you want to be?

From there, we'll work together to chart concrete goals and tangible outcomes. We’ll take some risks and knock down limiting beliefs. The journey we create together will give you the boost of knowledge, clarity, and motivation you need to confidently step into your next chapter.

Working with me means partnering with a coach who understands how your intersectionality as a woman of color impacts your experiences and informs how you move through the world.

Let me support you in your individual discovery.

 
 

My coaching style and expertise is rooted in my own experiences as an accomplished professional with intersecting identities. Like you, I’ve experienced rigid deadlines and high-pressure environments while holding myself to high standards, too. I’ve worked at various levels at nonprofit, academic, and corporate organizations and have completed intensive leadership development programs like AT&T’s LDP. All of these experiences have profoundly shaped me and my coaching methodologies.

    Jamika Doakes, Director Corporate Social Responsibility

    “Michelle is an intentional coach that meets you where you are at any point in your career or personal life. After regularly working together, she equipped me with the tools to succeed in a recent promotion that launched a thoughtful 30-60-90 day plan. In addition, Michelle ensured that I did not lose sight of the initial goal we established at the beginning of our coaching session, which was self-care. When I am unsure or need a reset, I refer back to the resources Michelle gave me during our sessions. If you seek a coach who listens with intent and provides proven guidance, Michelle is the coach you need.”

  • Jennifer Wong, Artist & Performance Manager

    “The Matos Method is so refreshing!!! Michelle is all about meeting you where you are at and then working toward the next (actionable) steps. I didn't feel like she was pandering or fluffing and just telling me what the easy path might be so I would be a happy client and just move on. Instead, we got real. While being mindful and supportive, Michelle fleshed out my business ideas with me. We weighed options and analyzed possible outcomes. By working with her, she helped me look at what each path might need to ultimately find a way toward thriving. I left our meeting with a sense of empowerment around what the outcome could be and a path to get there. It was really helpful to have a woman with a proven track record in the business world to run ideas with.“

  • Clara Hustad

    Clara Hustad, Assistant Vice President of Channel Marketing

    “I engaged Michelle to help with a career crossroads and I needed another set of eyes and ears. She kept us on track with the goals I outlined and followed up post-meeting, too. My outcome was a new and elevated role within the company. The time with Michelle was invaluable!”

  • Chanel Curry

    Chanel Curry, Director of Product Management & Development

    “Michelle really approaches each session with an honest, guiding spirit where you are the master of your destiny and she is a support system. She made me feel more powerful in my own choices than I have with other coaching practices. The fact that she built her business to empower women is really what drove me to her. It was great to have someone who had been through the fire herself. I recommend her to others and will definitely look to use her services again before I hit another rough patch. Thank you Michelle for being such a light when women really need one.”

 Frequently Asked Questions

+ What is Coaching?

In simple terms, coaching is a professional partnership that maximizes human potential. Similar to how personal trainers are employed to help people get physically healthier and in shape, coaches are employed to help people reach specific personal or professional goals.

+ What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

Coaching is not mentoring, consulting, training, psychotherapy or counseling. Coaching can be similar to these different modalities in that they may share the end goals of growth and development; however, the focus and process of coaching are different in very distinct ways. Therapy (psychotherapy, counseling, etc.) tends to focus on past traumas and healing, as well as supporting clients with healing psychological diagnoses like depression, anxiety, and addiction. Coaches are not trained to heal psychological problems and make referrals to therapists when necessary. Coaching focuses on forward movement and taking action towards fulfillment of goals, dreams, and purpose.

+ Who should seek one-on-one coaching?

Anyone who is interested in gaining clarity about something in their life, or needing support to reach a specific goal, or simply feeling stuck and not knowing how to move forward might seek one-on-one coaching. You may want to make changes, increase your income, or advance your career. Perhaps you want to develop a deeper understanding of self and your life – or your connection to something greater. Maybe you’re interested in overcoming obstacles that keep you from reaching your goals, or need an accountability partner to build better habits to get to where you want to be. There are a myriad of reasons why people seek coaching, and no two reasons are the same. Schedule a free 30-mins consultation to see if coaching is right for you!

+ What can I expect to get out of working with a coach?

Coaching offers deep exploration into personal and professional ambitions. It allows you to tap into your own resourcefulness to find answers so you can take steps towards action. Check out the testimonials above to learn more about how coaching has helped other women of color.
