Michelle Richmond · Coherence Architecture

Some professionals fit neatly into categories. I never have.

Over the years, clients have called me a Business Coach, a Health and Lifestyle Strategist, a Maverick, and the one that makes me laugh: the Jedi of Coaches.

What I truly do goes deeper than any single title can hold.

The range of people I have worked with tells the whole story. CEOs and founders. Artists and scientists. Philanthropists and politicians. And equally, the homeless, underprivileged women, abandoned and abused children, women rebuilding from the ground up.

Before arriving in Kenya I designed and facilitated programmes with Stepping Out in Australia, working with women who had experienced sexual abuse and homelessness. That work, and the thirteen years of community engagement it led to in Kenya, is not separate from the leadership practice. It is the foundation of it.

Clients from three years old to ninety-three. The methodology does not change. The underlying human need does not change. Whether the person sitting across from me runs a billion-dollar organisation or has nothing at all, the work is the same: to close the gap between who they are and who they are here to be.

Twenty-four years later, I coach people I love working with, people who are making an impact, from the beauty of the tea fields of Kenya, and I have the privilege of sharing the raw, wild earth that is Africa. Now that’s magic.

My speciality, and the work that calls to me most powerfully now, is those not only living their purpose and creating impact, but creating systemic change. People for whom the question is no longer what to achieve but how to become the kind of human being through whom whole systems shift. Industries. Cultures. The stories that define what a generation believes is possible.

The result of this work is not a fixed outcome. It is beyond: living, experiencing and creating beyond what you, and the people around you, ever perceived as possible. Beyond keeps moving. That is the point.

I am also living the frontier I work from. Working with cellular intelligence and the cultivation of intuition as a mastered faculty.

If you would like to talk,
I would love to hear where you are.
