Michelle's passion for unleashing human magnificence stems from my personal journey of surviving the biggest natural disaster in our living history, the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, where she discovered what is at the heart of humanity and what truly motivates us.

From years of using analysis tools, Michelle felt there was something missing, and so she created a set of illuminating analysis tools that are consistently celebrated as the best that my clients have ever seen.

These include ESSENCE, CLARITY, RAPID RAPPORT, NAVIGATOR and ILLUMINATOR which reveal our true motivations, our specific behaviour profile, how to build rapport, how to navigate our relationships (for young adults and children.) and identifying neurodivergence in the workplace. I work with people passionate organisations that are going through change, disruption, or growth, and empower them to achieve sky-high performance, increase engagement, retention and effective collaboration.
