Born and raised in Australia, Michelle, also known as The Pivot Queen, coaches women after everything fell apart, so they stop spiralling and start making decisions that stick.
Following the end of her marriage, Michelle rebuilt every area of her life; changing careers, increasing her salary, travelling solo, rebuilding her finances and creating a life she genuinely loves. After rebuilding, Michelle recognised that reinvention isn't about confidence, motivation or finding yourself. It's about making better decisions, creating momentum and giving yourself permission to choose differently.
Today, alongside her role as an Operations Director, she helps women navigate one of life's biggest transitions with clarity, courage and practical action.
With over 25 years leading organisational transformations, Michelle draws compelling parallels between leading change in business and leading change in life.
Her talks challenge audiences to rethink:
• Why confidence isn't the starting point.
• Why waiting for certainty keeps us stuck.
• Why small decisions create extraordinary momentum.
• How women stop asking permission and start choosing themselves again.
Michelle speaks on reinvention, resilience, identity, decision-making, women in leadership, navigating change and building a life that reflects who you are today, not who you used to be. Her talks are known for being thought-provoking, relatable and free from clichés. Her style is honest, insightful and entertaining, blending personal stories with practical wisdom that audiences remember long after the event has finished.
Michelle is a wife, step-mum, puppy-mum who enjoys splitting her time between London and Cornwall.
