Testimonials

“Michelle is a leadership resource. Her efforts ultimately resulted in promotions for us officers. We had a difficult time presenting ourselves to generals on our post which is the largest storage of arms and ammunition in the United States. Michelle took this on by creating, tailoring and leading us through one-on-one coaching, leadership challenges, video- taping the exercises she designed, such as presentations and playback for a constructive feedback process. We became more accountable, better decision makers, and for the first time take 100% ownership for our careers. We became stakeholders in our careers and life areas and could not have done it without Michelle. She is the best of the best of coaches and facilitators for individuals and platoon. She is a class act, talented coach, sets the hallmark of success by driving higher levels of productivity, workability, and effectiveness.”

“I’ve worked for Whole Foods, a very introspective and competitive company for over 20 years. Michelle led our new leadership team through one-and-one coaching and team facilitation for our group by aligning our goals to meld the personal and business side. Her enthusiasm, passion and genuine approach helped our ‘moving engine’ down a racetrack. It was like an ongoing pit stop. She created and led a new strategy for our organization to help us evolve our leadership, product lines, communication, better decision making for every individual and as a result become one of the most effective teams ever at Whole Foods. I’ve been through a million training, workshops, including Vision Quest. Michelle is really one of the best and she never falters. She magically brought it all together for us.”

“Michelle is a gifted, intuitive coach. She works with the whole person – body, mind and spirit and helped me remove blockages and obstacles. Her gifts really allowed me to accelerate progress, resulting in inner clarity and outer results!”

“Having been a NFL player for 10 years I’m accustomed to putting everything on the line, operating as a team member as well as serving as an individual contributor. Transitioning from the NFL to real life is a whole other matter. It’s one of the most difficult things I have ever done.

Michelle was an invaluable partner in my transition process. Her mentorship, coaching and intuitive knowledge helped me move forward and utilize my natural instincts for an increased level of productivity. I’m more accountable, grew my leadership talents and closed the gap between present and future route in life. I’d recommend Michelle to all NFL players, individuals and organizations work to increase their overall effectiveness. Hire Michelle. It will be the best play you’ll make.”

“Michelle was a vital contributor to Bootstrap Austin, a founding community of Austin’s Entrepreneur Scene. In fact, she started her company the same year Bootstrap was founded – in 2003. Michelle went beyond active community participation and became a leading contributor in 2006. She created what became one of the most important interventions for our members: Boot Boards. These boards gathered 6- 8 bootstrap members in a monthly deep dive of each other’s ventures. She conducted thorough research of existing frameworks and then stewarded a unique container tailored for bootstrap entrepreneurs. She then facilitated the board formation process creating the first ones. As a testament to this enduring legacy, many Boot Boards formed over a decade ago still convene today. Michelle’s ability to navigate through the sea of ambiguity to the shores of an elegant solution is indeed rare treasure!”

“Michelle is the real deal. Her enthusiasm and excitement toward me and the clients she works with are truly infectious. Her no nonsense approaches to encourage my leadership and entrepreneurial efforts for my business and her clients to achieve more than they thought possible is incredible. She helps both individuals and organizations alike. She creates new levels of performance. I am proud to call Michelle a colleague, mentor and most of all a friend. If you’re looking for someone to push you, motivate you and help you drive real results, look no further than Michelle Ewalt.”

“I came to Michelle looking for a quick fix for my career and for AMD (Advanced Micro Devices). Michelle helped us see a new path that resulted in new levels of leadership, accountability while providing us tools and resources for AMD. My team improved every part of our careers and lives. A few of the outcomes for myself and the organization were: personal clarity and presence for myself and AMD; owning my leadership skills and personal power to impact a move into senior levels of operating; and increasing levels of ease in relationships, personally, professionally and organizationally. Michelle provided us opportunities that AMD had not dreamed of for the organization. Michelle is an inspiring coach with incredible insight as well as very practical experience that integrates personal and career aspects together.”

“Having not worked with a Life Coach previously but being recommended to do so by a fellow creative, I was so glad to do so, and above all, find someone as talented and life changing as Michelle. Her depth of knowledge, her intrinsic understanding of how to create the building blocks in order to pave the way to get my business on sound footing along with her passion have helped me no end to get to where I wanted to be. I can’t speak highly enough about Michelle and can only recommend that you should reach out to her if you are at all out at sea without a paddle and require meaningful guidance.”

“I engaged Michelle Ewalt/Team in Transition to be my executive coach after getting to know her through a number of community organizations. One of these was ZACH Theatre, where I served on the board of directors. Michelle led us through an intense visioning and change process that I found very enlightening and fruitful. Although I didn’t realize it at the time, the universe brought Michelle to me at the perfect “fork in the road” where I was ready to make big changes in my life. She guided me through major decisions, helped me see where other changes needed to be made, coached me to better understand my own strengths, and to see the road ahead in a positive and effective way. The process and outcomes exceeded my expectations, and my expectations were high. Michelle is an amazing person and coach and I would recommend her to any organization or individual open to looking toward their future.”

“When I hired Michelle, I knew it was something I had to do. I felt stuck professionally although I knew I was in the right job. Michelle helped me realize what my key strengths and skills are and gave me the insight to focus the majority of my efforts utilizing those key strengths. As a result I was not only re-engaged and happy at work but I began performing at stellar levels. Michelle coached me through any barriers that would come up for me and I always left my sessions feeling as though I could tackle anything. Michelle’s coaching impacted not only my career but all areas of my life. I can honestly say I am a better person all the way around and I owe it all to Michelle’s guidance, coaching and expertise. I’m excited to see what the future holds as Michelle continues to help me “peel back the onion. Michelle is the best in her field, no doubt.”

“I hired Michelle to coach and advise me for my start-up business, Life Stories Alive, LLC to start me ‘on the right foot’. She was the first person I turned to get out of my own way and I never turned back.

My overall tasks with Michelle were to help me focus on what’s important, put the distractions to the side and carve out enough time for my other values and goals. I am pleased to say she accomplished all of the above. With Michelle’s partnership my business took off. Her guidance and homework assignments helped me think about things I wouldn’t have thought of otherwise to help me accomplish my goals.

One example of that is in relation to my physical and mental wellness. I wanted to be an entrepreneur who manages the stress of entrepreneurship and I needed guidance. Michelle asked me what I did for exercise. I didn’t do any consistent exercise so she suggested yoga. I remember saying (with macho, putz-like attitude), ‘Yoga seems a bit wussie to me’. She calmly invited me to join her at one of her yoga classes. It kicked my butt! I’ve been practicing yoga since then and feel it was the exact thing I needed to be physically fit while running a business.

Overall, I do not know where I’d be without guidance Michelle Ewalt gave me when I started my business. I will be forever grateful.”

“After selling my multi-millionaire business, I found myself exhausted, lost and spent from the high. Michelle partnered with me to create vision, clarity and inspired me to create my next adventure. With her help I have laser focus as to my next step. We navigated a route that brought my personal and professional to life again. As a result of us working as a team I feel supported and awakened to listen to my inner wisdom and my true creative voice. During our time together, Michelle guided me through an assessment process, stood by me to take action on my goals and new dreams, that we created together and finally, through an accountability model to which I adhere to every day.”

“If you are willing to leave behind your old, limiting beliefs and open yourself to the possibility of achieving real, tangible results in your personal and professional life, hire Michelle. She serves as a trusted guide and her pioneering approach pushes me in ways I’ve never experienced. Her intuition, patience and energy are gifts she shares freely and I am grateful for the opportunity to be her client. I can think of no better partner as I work toward living the most authentic, extraordinary life possible.”

“I had the pleasure of networking and working with Michelle as a recruiter. I found her to be so motivating and knowledgeable about all aspects of Presence, Leadership, Transitions and Coaching. Michelle is a special lady with a unique skill set that would prove to be an asset to anyone or company that engages her services. I would highly recommend Michelle.”
