Below is a 'thank you' email from a client who is leading the field in tourism innovation! He engaged me to strengthen his business communication and relationship management skills. He left with a stakeholder engagement plan for his business, new interpersonal communication choices and knowledge of how to present and dress for public speaking, to truly reflect his aspirations. To his credit, he achieved his goals! I wanted to thank you for all your help this year! You have really helped me. Attached is a photo of me receiving an award!" (Photo withheld for privacy)

“Hi Michelle,
“Six days prior to a scheduled job interview, I contacted Michelle for the first time, to ask if she was able to assist with much needed professional support to secure a position that was enormously important to me.
I am now absolutely delighted to share that I have been successful in getting the job, which I can confidently say has happened largely due to the remarkable assistance Michelle provided during my preparation for the interview. I highly recommend the professional services of Michelle Cook. I am the recipient of a life changing experience I wish I had found years ago."

“Thanks Michelle for a very informative and practical session. Being aware of our strengths and how these can provide 'cultural add' in the workplace is invaluable! I really enjoyed seeing you online today. Seeing the red ball0on reminded me how talented you are in creative visuals to help use learn concepts."

“I approached Michelle Cook to learn new skills to delver messages and insights, with more clarity, presence and timing. MIchelle helped me by providing me with tools to work with the strengths of my own communication and comprehension style.
I now have new skills that I see as superpowers that have added to my confidence. Michelle has a talent for interpreting the issues people face in verbal and visual communication. Her approach included guidance on how to present in a physical sense, not just in language we use. I look forward to our sessions as I know I will always come away with new learnings I can start using immediately.
I would recommend Michelle to anyone who would like to increase their confidence in communicating, while keeping true to their unique persona."

Working with Michelle on my movement was transformational. Understanding how my gestures and non-verbal communication were perceived by others opened my eyes. Michelle helped me make simple adjustments to my movement that authentically supported my words.
The investment was well worth it, as I aced three interviews and am now employed in the job of my dreams.
I highly recommend Michelle and her bespoke work. There is nothing else like this out there!

I knew the colours that I felt great in, but to have my colour palette confirmed by Michelle has built my confidence. Michelle totally nailed my personality preferences and as a result I have a deeper understanding of how I present myself in business and the clients I want to attract. I can't wait to see how this plays out. Michelle has such a wealth of knowledge around colours and style. I highly recommend her work.

"Michelle is amazing at what she does and has the personality to suit the line of work she is in. I highly recommend her servic. I will continue to use her service going forward to help build my personal brand and business. Thanks, Michelle! Forever grateful."

"Since working with Michelle I have made two major changes in presenting myself in the corporate world.
1) I make much more ‘hard-nosed’ choices about purchases..and I have saved a lot of money.
2) I utilise the colours I wear in a much more strategic way.
Michelle’s knowledge, skills and approach suits my style and she delivers the information in a clear and customer focussed manner – it is all about you and your agenda. I highly recommend having at least a conversation with Michelle – that is where I started off."
Chief Operations Manager, Aged Care.
It has been a few months since my consultation with Michelle and I feel compelled to share the positive difference I feel now that I am clear about my colours and the image I want to communicate as a business professional and socially.
Michelle’s approach is unique. She works with you as a person and intuitively. I learnt so much about colour and my unique style which has positively influenced my wellbeing.My consultation with Michelle has been transformative! I feel more confident, strong, authentic and connected to who I am."
Health Manager, Public Sector.
“Michelle provides a professional, relaxed, supportive environment during her consultations. I feel comfortable and confident talking about myself to her. It is quite a learning curve but I am enjoying the journey – thank you Michelle!!”
I contacted Michelle because I was becoming frustrated at not being able to find or choose clothes that I felt were appropriate to my age. I am 65 and recently retired as a registered nurse and lecturer. I am used to wearing a uniform. I don’t want to look and feel ‘frumpy’ or dress too young and look silly.
I like to feel comfortable, smart and stylish in my clothes but I really wasn’t sure what colours suited me or what styles to choose as I got older. I have a wardrobe full of clothes ‘but have nothing to wear!’ I needed to learn how to put pieces together to make outfits that I felt confident in wearing, not only to look my best, but to be functional whether I was going shopping, out to lunch or playing with my grandchildren.
Michelle has come to my rescue! We have had a wonderful time looking at my lifestyle, physical appearance, personality and how I have been wearing the clothes I already have. Michelle has shown me how to use many of the garments I already have in my wardrobe in a different way just by adding different accessories. A leopard print scarf has been my biggest triumph! I feel so dressed up and smart in jeans and a jumper with that scarf on!
Her written tips and colour palette are proving a great resource in sorting my wardrobe and shopping choices. Our styling session was great, giving me more ideas, knowledge and confidence to have more fun with my wardrobe choices.
My budget has been a consideration too and Michelle has given practical advice which has prevented impulse buying. My husband has noticed a difference in my appearance too and says ‘whatever this lady is doing for you keep doing it!’
Retired Registered Nurse & Lecturer.
A few months ago Michelle ran a workshop for myself and a few friends, about how to wear our best colours to boost our confidence and professional presentation. The session was both interesting and fun; it gave me a deeper understanding of previous colour choices (good & bad), and removed some of the guilt I felt about not being more adventurous with colour. It turns out I was already dressing to a section of my colour palette, albeit with fairly safe colours!
I recently returned to work after maternity leave. My work wardrobe needed a big overhaul. As I shopped for new clothes Michelle’s advice about colour and styling came to mind and I was far more purposeful about the items I selected. I sought out soft neutrals, instead of white, I became more adventurous with colour (teal, mustard, red) and sought to choose items that worked well with one another, and with some of my existing clothes. I purchased some great staples, plus a few pieces that I really love, which bring ‘pop’ to my wardrobe. Best of all I have several different top/bottom/jacket combinations available to me, which is something I have struggled to achieve in the past.Shoes and accessories are my next challenge. In the past I have been guilty of wearing the same silver chain for weeks on end. Mindful of the advice Michelle gave, I now make more effort to vary my jewellery and use it to add interest to my outfit, or to soften the colours close to my face. I can definitely see gaps in the accessories I have and look forward to working on that over the next few months.
