Hanh Michael
She/Her
Executive Coach
When I’m not working, I rejuvenate with family and friends—enjoying a drink on the patio with my husband, taking walks with friends, discussing life hacks with my daughters, rereading The Little Prince or other childhood favorites, or tending to my home, which I love to keep clean, aesthetically pleasing, and calm-inducing both inside and out.
Summary and Highlights:
I love working with people who want to transform themselves and are open to the gifts that adversity often brings. With more than 15 years of experience in an international institution, I’ve developed the ability to quickly discern issues, helping my clients get to the heart of matters more efficiently. I’m energized by those who seek to make a positive difference for themselves and their communities or organizations, understanding that they are part of a larger system.
Coaching Vision:
My coaching is not just about problem-solving; it's about transformation. I believe that everyone can grow, every story can take a turn, and everyone can start closing the gap between their current reality and the vision they hold. As your coach, you can expect a supportive, resourceful, and sometimes humorous partner who has your success at heart. I offer compassion, honesty, and productive conversations, along with questions or observations that might be uncomfortable but are designed to benefit you. I’m a full thought-partner, working with you to chart a course of action, gain new experiences, and become the leader you aspire to be.
