This is where joy fuels leadership and authenticity drives performance.
Whether you're a leader, visionary, or high achiever ready to reset, you're in the right place.
I'm Jackie G Michaels (but my clients call me Ms J). I’m a transformational coach, consultant, speaker working with driven individuals and organisations thrive without compromising their truth, wellbeing or brilliance.
A strategic framework supporting organisations to improve retention, wellbeing, and succession through a cultural lens.
Bridging Arican, Caribbean and African Communities.
I am an ambitious British-born Black woman of Caribbean descent, a joyful disruptor and a guide for those ready to live and lead with authenticity.
My journey has taken me from corporate burnout and people-pleasing to building a life and business rooted in joy, boundaries and cultural truth-telling. I've overcome autoimmune illness, left an executive HR role and turned decades of wisdom into transformational tools.
With 30 plus years in personal development, leadership training and coaching, I now support HR, DEI and high achievers to reset, reclaim their voice and live fully.
I have developed an outstanding reputation based on the transformational results my clients have achieved. I write and deliver bespoke programmes that elevate my clients from feeling overwhelmed to calm and/or feeling stuck to clarity.
As one of the forerunners in designing personal development and coaching programmes for professionals in the UK, my knowledge, experience and personality has resulted in media appearances, working discreetly with high-profile individuals, public and private organisations.
