MY PASSION
I'm Michele Waterman and I help you go from where you are to where you want to be in life. I am not a goals coach; I am a growth and transformation coach. I coach visionary leaders in business and consult with nonprofit and B Corp founders and cofounders helping them cultivate the courage and confidence within themselves to create lasting change in their lives.
I’m Michele Waterman & I’m Here to Coach the Gap
ABOUT US
Executive Leadership Coaching for Visionary Leaders
Too many of us spend our lives obsessing over what we need to do and not paying attention to how we want to feel. I coach visionary leaders because I know what we need most. We need to shift our focus, energy, and perspective to focus on growth. When we do, our behaviors, thoughts, and patterns change to match. We stop working so hard to do all the things—we get to where we want to be with less obsessing, list-making, and planning. We get there by intuitively knowing we’re on the right path and we have what it takes to move forward.
“Working with Michele has been a great blessing to me. She has been remarkably supportive, gentle and compassionate yet skillfully adept at helping me focus on what is most important to me, what stands in my way and what next steps I want and need to take to accomplish my goals. She has a gift of listening between the lines and using her intuition to guide me through a process of self discovery, self honesty and self acceptance. I always feel heard, yet never judged and therefore safe to share and discover my truth so that I could learn to listen to myself and connect to my inner guidance. I feel more empowered, present and able to face life, career and relationship challenges with a conscious perspective. I now have the tools and resources to approach life's circumstances with more confidence and grace than I could have imagined. Michele is a gifted and effective coach, skilled at facilitating change in what ever area of life I have chosen to work with her in.”

COURAGE UNLOCKED
Cultivate Courage and Create Change
On my podcast, Courage Unlocked, I share my unapologetic truth with the world. This is where:
I proudly own my story and share my humanity
I talk about the mistakes I made and how I learned from them
You learn from me, and I learn from you as a teacher and student
We discover who we were meant to be, together, on this journey
Filled with authenticity and a fair share of F-bombs, you’ll want to buckle up and tune in.
Own Your Story
When we own our story, we own our worth, and we own ourselves.
Let’s be clear—no one else could have carved out this path for me. I wholeheartedly believe we create what we do from a personal place. More often than not, we start the nonprofit, we launch the business, and we lead others because we need to. We create what we do for us first and then we share it with the world. We create what we value most from our lived experience.
