Meet Jackie G Michaels, Affectionately Known as Ms J

Coach, consultant, and joyful disruptor. I help individuals and organisations reset, reclaim their voice, and lead with audacity and joy.

From Burnout to Bold Leadership

I know what it feels like to push forward while carrying exhaustion, expectation, and the weight of performance. My own journey through health challenges and corporate leadership taught me that joy isn’t a luxury, it’s a strategy.

Today, I bring 30+ years of experience in HR, organisational development, and transformational coaching to leaders, founders, and changemakers worldwide. My work is about more than resilience, it’s about creating a life and career rooted in clarity, courage, and joy.

My Philosophy

Joy as Strategy

Joy isn’t just a feeling, it’s a framework for thriving and sustainable success.

Reset as Power

Resetting is not failure, it’s a bold choice to begin again with clarity.

Audacity in Action

Leadership is about vision, courage, and authenticity — not masks.
