What People Are Saying

Trusted by leaders across Fortune 500, non-profits, and high-stakes industries.

“Why choose Michelle Wells Coaching? — consider her background and what public speaking demands.

Public Speaking whether with large or small audiences, requires you to build trust, engage, connect, inspire and sell your ideas to an audience. Without these components you are simply another speaker or manager that is transmitting information.

Michelle is an accomplished actor, director and producer who has committed her life to creating amazing experiences for audiences. Her deep and authentic emotional sensitivity is her super power, and enables her to truly understand how communication can create emotion and how your message will resonate with an audience.

If you truly want to learn how to connect with your team, peers or clients, and create “memorable moments” then step out of the formulaic presentation skills course, and experience life changing coaching that will be the catalyst to your career progression.”

— Simon Beard, EVP (2024)

“Michelle Wells is simply the best in the business.

Her unmatched expertise in directing and performance coaching saved me months of wasted effort and confusion.

She took the time to truly understand my goals, asked incisive, thought-provoking questions, and used that insight to craft a personalized coaching experience that helped me communicate with clarity, confidence, and presence. Her direction brought out the best in me.

Don’t be intimidated—working with Michelle is transformative. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

— Seth Blum, Attorney at Law (2025)
