How a discouraged leader found her voice and elevated her impact

Do you ever feel like your external success masks internal struggles?

Meet Michelle Hernandez, a Regional People Partner at a global design agency. She appeared to have it all together, yet beneath the surface, Michelle faced a battle with confusion, frustration, and overwhelming emotions. Her story is a powerful testament to what transformative coaching can achieve.

Michelle’s journey began with clear goals: boost self-confidence, manage emotions effectively, and carve out her unique leadership voice. Through our coaching sessions, she not only found her voice but learned to wield it powerfully. Today, she’s a leader who doesn’t just speak up, but inspires conversations and drives change.

 
 

The Coaching Journey

“Working with Teresa, I’ve learned to wrestle with my emotions, giving them an expiration date. I’ve started making choices based on my core values: authenticity, belonging, cultivation, creativity, empowerment, and empathy. Teresa taught me the power of pausing and reflecting—habits I now prioritize as a leader.”


The Transformation

“Coaching turned me into a person unafraid to share perspectives. I was the one who used to stay silent, worrying what others might think. Now, I not only share but actively encourage dialogue. People WANT my opinion and input.”


The Impact

“My newfound voice has been a total game-changer—not just for me, but for those around me as well. I used to hesitate, fearing how others would react to my opinions. Now, people actively seek out my input and perspective. By making my presence known, I now create environments that encourage open dialogue and mutual growth.”
