Michelle McGrath

 ‘Carpe Diem – Seize the day and be the best that you can be, give your all and make every situation a positive one’.

Michelle lives this philosophy in all areas of her life, she plays at 100% to achieve outstanding results in her work as a Development and Performance Consultant and is gifted in working with all types of personalities.

Early in her career, after qualifying as a Registered Nurse, she chose to work outside the hospital system. For more than 25 years she has successfully applied her training and her amazing organisational skills to a variety of businesses – fulfilling her passion of connecting and working with people.

 

Michelle McGrath

She initially worked in Rehabilitation and Occupational Health and Safety with a number of Australia’s largest companies. After moving from Melbourne to Perth in 1986, Michelle teamed with her husband, David to build a business providing excellence in community home care. Today they own and operate a successful home and community care business employing 75 staff, with repeat government contracts.

Michelle has created a totally systemised business that has allowed her to work ON her business not IN her business.  She believes the length of time her staff have chosen to work with her in the business, is a testament to her people management skills. 

This freedom allowed Michelle to reprioritise and focus on spending quality time with her 3 children (17, 14 and 11 years) and to develop a professional coaching practice to work with clients to achieve sustainable success in their own career or business.  

Michelle is a graduate of Curtin University Entrepreneurial and Business Development Unit’s Growth Program. She is also a qualified NLP Practitioner and a graduate of TCI’s Trainers & Public Speaking Skills program and is a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

Michelle knows from direct experience the importance of maintaining a competitive edge in the market place. She knows it is vital that the money invested in training and development translates to improving a business’ bottom line. It is about accountability and applying that knowledge that will take your business to the next level.

To speak with Michelle about where you are now, where you want to get to, and how you can get there, call her on 0418 377 415 or (08) 9480 0616 or click to email. This is a no-obligation chat, to get to know each other and explore the best way forward for you.

Remember Carpe Diem!

"Since working with Michelle McGrath I have been able to maintain a focus on what is really important to my business. Michelle has helped me be purposeful in every aspect of my business – building my confidence and skills with every coaching session.
I have found her practical business sense invaluable to improving my business. Even more, it’s her ability to explain the theory of business principles in a simple way that makes it easy for me to apply them to my business and get results.
Michelle has gently guided me to believe that it’s all possible and by applying her business coaching processes I have been able to make simple changes to improve my business sales.
Above all, I value her genuine commitment to working with me to be the best I can be. She coaches without judgement or criticism which has allowed me to grow personally and professionally. Her skill in business coaching and life coaching is truly outstanding and has delivered the results I was looking to achieve."
- Liz O’Rourke, Cake of Soap Fremantle

"It has been a pleasure working with Michelle on improving my business. Small business can be a lonely existence and it has been particularly enjoyable to spend time with someone who is not only interested in my business but genuinely committed to improving it.
Having read many business books, I knew most of the things I should have been doing, but I just wasn’t doing them! Michelle’s insight, understanding, and gentle nudging in the right direction have been invaluable.
Michelle has a deep understanding of people and how to train and motivate them. This, combined with her years of experience in building her own successful business, make Michelle not only an effective and authoritative business coach, but a mentor to people like me in the early stages of their business career. It is an added bonus she is such a great listener and genuinely warm and engaging person!"
- Hamish Fleming, Flipside Burger Bar

"The life coaching sessions I’ve had with Michelle have been life-changing. She has great insight into the thought processes which limit achievement and has helped me to change my thinking; the first step in achieving my goals.
Michelle helped me to sort the important things from the “clutter” of life and assisted me in discovering the things that limited my development. She enabled me to clarify my goals and explore options to achieve them.
Michelle is a highly motivating person, friendly, encouraging & empathetic, I always feel positive after a session and the best part is that this has translated into positive actions.
Michelle is a perceptive and intuitive person; she has used various techniques to help me discover my strengths and weaknesses. This has shown me how to achieve a more positive outlook and balance in life."
- Kevin Byrne

"Thanks to Michelle's insight and understanding a two year cloud of darkness has almost been lifted. While I still have 5% to go to get my life back on track, I don't think I could have achieved this without Michelle's help, she has helped me see some things just happen, that we are not "solely "responsible for and it is unfair to shoulder that guilt.
Thanks to her I can now look to the future and not be consumed by the past."
- Michael Furlong.

"In such a short time you have helped me see what I can achieve in both my new career and my personal life. Your humour and love of life is infectious and your genuine care creates and safe environment to learn and grow. My self belief and confidence increases each time we complete a session…I walk away on top of the world ready to take on any challenge that may arise.
Your intuition and gentle persistence in helping me to achieve my goals and shift my limiting beliefs are truly amazing gifts. You have succeeded in showing me the importance of “feel the fear and do it anyway” and for this I thank you.
Your compassion, support and encouragement ........has guided me on my journey to a happy and more fulfilling life."
- Wendy Kelly

Michelle’s ability to listen, her energy for life and belief in the positive nature of humanity will take you to a place of growth, strength and deeper understanding."

- Susan Green
