“I have heard Michelle speak at several seminars and conferences, and her talks have always been hugely relevant, and full of practical suggestions. As a result, I invited Michelle to speak at the ICAEW’s Solicitors Advisory Group annual conference, and feedback from delegates was excellent.”

“Thank you Michelle for your thoroughly professional support. You brought insight, challenge and effective process to our workshops and Chipping Community Energy now has a solid foundation for our next steps. We couldn’t have made such progress so quickly without your help – looking forward to working with you again!”

“Michelle took great care in understanding the brief to speak at the Productivity Conference about the Employee of the Future.  Her care and diligence to the subject matter led to a high quality, insightful presentation.”

“Thank you for all your hard work, commitment and support personally and professionally, as well as insightful strategic thinking. Hope to work with you again!”

“Clearly managed content for each stage. Good opportunities to share ideas in between content delivery. Really enjoyable overall! Thank you.”

“I recently attended a 6 day development course run by Michelle and would highly recommend her, she put everyone instantly at ease and managed to ease us all out of our comfort zones so we were able to get the most out of the time we had. She was knowledgeable, relevant and engaging and brought something new to each session. Thank you Michelle for such a valuable experience.”

“Absolutely brilliant Webinar.”

“The event was run very smoothly with high quality speakers, each clearly experts in their own field which led to interesting and thought-provoking talks.”

“When I was first introduced to Michelle I anticipated generic assistance in how to take my regulated business forward, a light touch in how to build leadership skills and affirmation to ideas I had on marketing.   Nearly a year on in our business relationship and I must admit to having grossly underestimated the value Michelle could bring, her experience and skill set has challenged and enlightened my knowledge in the marketing and leadership sector. Michelle has brought her experience to bring order and direction, working with our leadership team to create a plan for our business and firm wide vision.”

“Michelle recently worked with us at Digby Brown on a project aimed at pulling all of our training/development materials together under the one umbrella, re-branding them, and considering ways we could build upon our offering as we moved forward, creating our own Digby Brown training academy.

 The project saw Michelle skilfully bring together people from different business functions – including HR, Professional Support and Marketing – and organise/help develop their ideas to create a framework for what was an extensive and challenging project.

Throughout, we were delighted with Michelle’s approach, her ideas/support, and the focus she brought to the project. Michelle has been a vital part of our launching of this initiative, and we would thoroughly recommend her to anyone undertaking similar work.”

“It is my pleasure to recommend Michelle for her amazing contribution as a speaker at the launch of our Centre for Leadership and Empowerment and as a panelist at the just concluded Developing Leadership Capacity conference. Her contributions on leadership, creativity and innovation were invaluable and the feedback from the audience was overwhelmingly positive. Michelle’s expertise and eloquence were instrumental in making both events a resounding success. She is a true gem and I highly endorse her for any future speaking engagements or panels.”

“It’s not often that you go to a networking event and come away feeling driven with a head full of ideas but today, thanks to Barclays hosting their Professionals Sector Breakfast event, my networking experience has been just that. A warm welcome from the off from a group of like-minded business people and a brilliant seminar delivered by Michelle Howard on all things strategy.”

“Michelle provided a two day Supervisor’s Training course for our Firm and the feedback from the delegates has been excellent.  They enjoyed the interaction and feel that they can already put what they have learned to good use and contribute to the positive culture of the Firm.  We will definitely be running more of these courses with Michelle.”

“Having worked with Michelle for many years, we immediately commissioned her when we knew she had established her own business. She has brought business acumen, insight and knowledge combined with knowledge of the sector.  Michelle has an ability to move things forward, she fosters partnership working, believes in the power of sharing mutual interest and has brought enthusiasm and motivation.”

“Thank you for your excellent, engaging and practically focused talk, delivered at the Institute of Financial Accountants annual conference. Your warmth and knowledge shone through and members gained hugely valuable insights and takeaways from your session.”

“The webinar was excellent and faultless. Michelle was very good and approachable.”

Completing the Evolve Strategic Leadership Programme has been a genuinely rewarding experience. The three-day programme not only supported my professional growth but also reinforced our values and the importance of purpose-driven leadership.

It provided valuable insights, encouraged fresh thinking and created space to reflect on the impact of leaders. I’ve come away feeling more confident, motivated and empowered to continue my professional development.

“As a newly established business, we were very much in our infancy and needed clear direction on where to focus our efforts. Michelle’s Marketing Masterclass provided exactly that.

The course was incredibly well structured and thought-provoking, covering everything from building brand awareness and understanding your customer through to practical digital marketing strategies for social media and website development. I came away with a much clearer vision of our next steps.

Michelle herself has a wonderfully professional yet friendly approach. She’s encouraging and genuinely invested in helping you succeed. She really helped us define our customer base, understand how to reach them, and how to build brand loyalty and consumer confidence.

I’d highly recommend this masterclass to anyone looking to sharpen their marketing focus and gain the knowledge to move their business forward with purpose.”

“I would highly recommend Michelle to assist businesses and staff. Michelle has a plethora of knowledge and expertise in her field. A very enjoyable course that was carried with professionalism and ease, thank you!”

“Michelle was an external facilitator of a leadership Development Programme I attended at my firm, Morecrofts LLP. Michelle’s knowledge and expertise, together with her kindness and patience allowed for a supportive learning environment where I was able grow in confidence in areas that were new to me. The programme materials provided by Michelle were excellent and a great aide memoire. It was a pleasure to work with Michelle and I hope to do so again in the future.”

“I commissioned Michelle to develop the marketing strategy for Bolton Learning Partnership and lead and develop all aspects of our marketing communications. Her work is always of the highest standard, she brings creative and timely solutions with professionalism, enthusiasm, and efficiency.”

“I have worked with Michelle to strategically craft the NHS Northwest Leadership Academy digital ambition and deployment of Leadership Live an innovative and immersive leadership podcast series. Michelle’s extensive understanding of both leadership development and digital marketing strategies, combined with her passion is nothing short of outstanding. She successfully collaborated with our team and guided leadership experts through the practical narration of a highly interactive podcast series. Michelle’s natural talent for communication and facilitation ensures that she not only produces impressive results but can also elucidate digital leadership development content marketing in a comprehensible manner.

Furthermore, Michelle is an absolute pleasure to work with. Having an upbeat attitude, combined with an unwavering commitment to her craft, makes her an inspiring marketing professional.”

“Michelle as been extremely helpful in guiding us through our marketing journey and we wouldn’t have come this far without her. Her support is worth its weight in gold.”

“Thank you to the fabulous Michelle for helping us achieve the impossible.”

“I just want to say thanks again for today – it was really helpful for us all to work together the way we did. Your tasks were superb!”

“At Morecrofts we have been working closely with Michelle in furthering our strategy and training and developing our next cohort of leaders. Nothing is too much trouble for Michelle, she is flexible in her planning, and happy to work with us to devise programmes covering all our needs, and to achieve the responses we are looking for with no amount of preparation being too much. She understands the issues faced by law firms, but also has a range of experience and skills which ensure we are not limited in our thinking. I am really looking forward to working with Michelle more in the future, helping our business and all those in it to be the best they can possibly be.”

“I started the leadership programme to help strengthen our employee offering around coaching and mentoring. It was informative, thought provoking and useful in my role, reflections and in helping to guide further changes in order to group and frame this concept within our wider structure. Michelle has been superb in both her professional knowledge and understanding, and in her personal support and approach to each individual attendee. She is clear, concise, helpful and above all, a genuinely nice person who wants to see people do well.”
