Connected Leadership

I cannot speak highly enough of The Leadership Connection program and Michelle Sales... Michelle provided us with cutting edge research and engaging guest speakers... I have approached new opportunities and challenges with increased confidence in my abilities and greater self-reflection on my role as a leader for my organisation and my community.

Michelle Sales and the TLC course has provided me with an injection of equal parts insight, practical tools and motivation to pick up my game. The six month structure of 1:1 coaching and face-to-face sessions with an engaged and smart group of amazing women, has meant I have also gained knowledge and awareness of other sectors and challenges. Michelle is the driver of change with passion, intelligence, knowledge and warmth. I would recommend this learning opportunity without hesitation.

The Leadership Connection program has been incredibly beneficial for me as a senior leader at Telstra. The program has enabled me to really develop my leadership style and it has given me some amazing tools to build my endurance and resilience. I would highly recommend it.

Michelle effortlessly encourages genuine and authentic connection and has been instrumental in coaching a group of our female leaders during a very uncertain time (COVID). She created a safe space for the group to be vulnerable and purposeful in facing the challenges of leading through great change. As a result, the group have become more connected with one another, to support and lift each other up in collective action for our organisation.

Michelle is a true ‘in the moment’ professional who delivered her leadership program to our team. Michelle’s delivery, content, insights and engagement was amazing but more so it was the united commitment from the session that was incredibly powerful. The team feedback was consistently at the highest level and they are looking forward to our next gathering with Michelle to continue their learning and growth. Thanks Michelle … One of the best forums I have been involved in.

Improving the lives of people and their organisations through great leadership isn’t just a business for Michelle, it’s her genuine passion. In a world where technology continues to disrupt at a pace never seen before – Michelle gives teams the tools to reach their full potential and increase performance. She is a true master at maximising leadership potential in an authentic manner.

Michelle works with a warm and collaborative approach supporting our leaders to high levels of performance. She has a strong focus on results and accountability ensuring both organisational and coachee goals and objectives are achieved. Michelle is one of the best coaches I have worked with; she brings clear, pragmatic and insightful support to our senior leaders with a style centered on care and empathy.

Michelle’s authentic and personable style, instantly makes her audience feel compelled to listen. Her session offered a great balance, enabling participants to build their knowledge, whilst be thought provoking, interactive and challenging participants to work outside of their comfort zone. I look forward to working with Michelle in the future and would highly recommend her for any leadership program.

What an awesome session! We were so fortunate to have Michelle join us to speak on Confidence as we introduced our WomenatME affinity group. Michelle was brilliant and taught us about how we can: Show up as the best version of ourselves; Stand up for ourselves and our point of view; Speak up and have our voices heard; and Step up and show leadership. We learnt so many tips and tricks of how to build confidence - now to put them all into action! Thanks Michelle!

Michelle’s presentation to our group was inspiring. Her insights from having held various leadership roles in the corporate sector provided unique perspectives to the government audience, and the way in which she weaved in personal and professional stories to illustrate her points kept us engaged the entire time. Her success with the group is evident in the fact that she has already been booked to speak to other groups in Canberra and Sydney!
