Michelle
I've always been curious about how people think, communicate, and work together—especially across cultures.
I grew up between New York City, London, and Cape Town, and have spent the past 19 years living and working in Asia, first in Japan and now in Taiwan.
Those experiences shaped how I see leadership, collaboration, and what it really takes for global teams to work well together.
Today, I support multinational leaders and teams in building cultural intelligence, psychological safety, and inclusive communication across APAC and beyond.
I work in both English and Mandarin Chinese, helping individuals and teams turn cultural complexity into clarity, trust, and better results.
Client Feedback
I am writing to recommend and express my gratitude for Michelle’s wonderful coaching sessions.
It has been a long time since I paid attention to my soft skills, but thanks to Michelle’s coaching sessions, I am picking them up again. At work, I’m always working on how I can improve my hard skills.
Yet the soft skills Michelle mentioned, such as cross-cultural awareness and CQ, are equally important if I wish to lead a successful career. I’ll try to overcome my shyness, hesitation, conservative mindset, and improve my presence.
I admire how Michelle continues to inspire people with her profession. and I hope that in the future I can also inspire others like she does.
