Kelly
Coaching helped me to continue to grow as a woman, mother, friend, and boss. I was able to learn things about myself that I did not realize.
I identified my strengths and areas I needed to work on and used my strengths to work on areas I needed to strengthen. I journaled daily so that I could see the areas I had progressed in and the areas still needing improvement.
I desired to be a great leader, and this meant working on myself first. I applied the tools Michelle gave me daily. I saw a shift immediately as I was ready to make the changes necessary to better myself. I am thankful for Michelle and her non-judgmental guidance in helping me on my journey. Michelle’s wisdom, knowledge, and tools continue to help me today. I have not arrived where I desire to be, but I am continuously working on it. I am forever greatly for all she has poured into my life and the woman I am today!

Michelle Tallmadge was invaluable in my discovery of roadblocks I was creating in my professional life. She navigated each conversation in a way that made me feel I was talking to a friend - and yet every session ended with at least one 'light bulb' moment. It was easy to work with Michelle - and yet more powerful than I ever imagined. Worth every cent and second ! More...

Working with Michelle was a tremendous experience. We met for leadership coaching after I'd spent years trying to emulate other leaders and Michelle helped me realize who I am as a leader and work towards having greater compassion for myself along the way.
What do you love most about your job?
I LOVE helping my clients go from floundering in hopelessness to feeling confident about their strengths and embracing the leader they are meant to be.
What inspired you to start your own business?
One of the biggest lessons I learned after a successful 27-year career in the Criminal Justice field is, being a leader is more than just a title. It is who you are inside and out, on and off the job. It is a lifelong learning commitment to figuring out that putting your oxygen mask on first before you can selflessly help others is a good thing.
If I had been able to see the future along my journey, I would have avoided many mistakes along the way. I have coached and trained hundreds of people, and now, I teach agencies that work with justice-involved individuals to overcome their biases. I also work with individuals to find the leaders within them by introducing them to their future selves.
Why should our clients choose you?
I know what it is like to wake up and wonder if I will be able to prove my worth. It was exhausting. Feeling like I needed to become someone else because I wasn’t enough. I’m more passionate than ever about dedicating myself to helping thousands of people gain clarity of their future selves.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes! I have a zoom account to do sessions online/remotely. Once you have determined that you would like a free consultation, we will determine a date and time for that to happen, and I will send you a calendar invite for our session. If we determine that we are a good match and move forward in your journey of success, we will plan out the dates and times of your sessions, if they will be in person or if they will be held online, and I will set those up with calendar invites.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I am a true extrovert and LOVE being in person with people to really experience their "AH HA" moments. However, for me, safety is number one for my customers. I have gone to online coaching sessions and am in the process of restructuring my training's to the online platform as well.
Personal and Professional Development Coaching
It is gratifying to witness people overcome obstacles, get unstuck, gain clarity, embrace their purpose, and create and become the future version of themselves. As your coach, Michelle will walk beside you to push through boundaries and embrace challenges to achieve growth.
Do you really know the people you serve? Learning and overcoming your unconscious bias.
Let’s face it, working with people is not always easy. It can be frustrating and downright exhausting if you are honest with yourself. When you look back on those times of frustration, you will realize that our own core beliefs often get in the way.
Michelle created this workshop to help people identify their unconscious biases and how they get in our way of building those relationships with the people we serve. This workshop has break-out groups, class participation, and activities to challenge yourself to replace those old, preconceived thoughts and feelings, thereby creating new habits to serve your clients more effectively.
Michelle creates a fun and safe space to recognize your personal biases by sharing her own experiences and teaching you the steps to overcome them. You will also hear from a diverse panel who share their stories of adversity and how they overcame other people’s biases by discovering their own.
