Michelle, Leadership Coach: From Overwhelmed and Overworked to Confident and Thriving

Michelle is a talented leadership coach in her early 50s, deeply passionate about empowering Black-owned businesses to grow and thrive. Despite her dedication, her own business felt overwhelming and scattered. She struggled with inconsistent clients, endless admin work, and undercharging for her services. Even working 60+ hours a week, she felt stuck, invisible, and unsure how to stand out in a crowded market.

“I knew my work made a difference, but I was exhausted and feeling unseen.”

We worked closely to clarify Michelle’s signature offer tailored specifically for Black-owned businesses, simplify her client intake, and create sales conversations that felt authentic and effective. We built systems that gave her more time and the confidence to charge what she’s truly worth. Michelle stopped chasing every lead and began attracting the right clients naturally.

In just 90 days, Michelle doubled her client roster, increased her fees by 40%, and finally started enjoying guilt-free weekends. She now runs her coaching business on her own terms — with a clear vision and steady, sustainable growth.

“Working with Vora changed everything — I went from overwhelmed and invisible to confident and in-demand.”
