Kerry Kidd

micro:bit | Educational Specialist

After knowing Michelle for 5 years, the support and encouragement she has given me over that time to follow my dreams from full-time employment to now being fully self-employed for just over a year. None of this would have been possible without Michelle's encouragement and support with help visualising my business through the business model canvas to help understand the steps to take and being there when I need a push in the right direction. Michelle has also helped me with finding funding and reviewing contracts. If you too need help to take action to achieve your goals get in touch with Michelle she is awesome.”

Stacy Edghill

LinkedIn Training Expert

“I've been working with Michelle for a few months now and in that time she has really helped me to focus on what I want, and how to get it. She challenges me often and sometimes asks me questions that make me feel uncomfortable, but I do realise it's necessary.


We've managed to sort out what it is I do because I feel I have to, and what it is I do because I want to.

We're now working on a plan to make sure I do more of the latter - and ultimately get to the point where that's all I'm doing.

With the clarity and focus that she has given, and continues to give me, I have no doubt that I will get there. I'm really enjoying working with Michelle and would recommend her to anyone who needs to sort out what they are doing in their business.”

Katherine Longhi

“Michelle is a stand for women business leaders having those really difficult conversations - around numbers, metrics, financials, all the stuff that we're brought up being highly trained in and yet can't seem to put it in to practice.

I love collaborating with Michelle through our share interest empowering women leaders. You can always count on her to show up, make an impact, and have fun doing it together at the same time.”

Bev (Gibb) Bett

Bev Gibb Coaching

“Michelle has worked with me since I started to think about my Bev Gibb Coaching journey. She has supported me by keeping me accountable for actions and has always pushed me, but in a good way, to move forward and to keep in mind my business goals and not just that of my clients! She makes sure you don’t get away without doing your homework!

She has a very strategic outlook and can quickly identify gaps and issues as well as opportunities within businesses. She is frank and honest and will tell you if she thinks that something doesn’t seem right, however will support you to find a solution. Her many years of management on a large scale shows through and she is able to adapt that into a smaller business environment also.

Michelle has embraced her own desires and it is really exciting to see her launch MDA Business Coaching, where she can use her skills to help others. She is the ideal strategic partner for anyone struggling to find the time and space to work on their business - she will work along side you to seriously take your business to the next level and all the while I can guarantee a few laughs along the way!”

Craig Elder

Utili-Tay | Managing Director

1-2-1 Coaching and Consultancy. Now business partner!

"I am pleased to recommend Michelle De Almeida, who has been an invaluable asset to Utili-Tay since she joined us in September 2022. Initially coming on board just one day a week, Michelle was tasked with reviewing our business processes and collaborating with me to enhance our operations.

Within a mere two months, her impact was so significant that we quickly increased her involvement to two days a week. By early 2023, it became clear that we wanted to solidify our partnership, leading to Michelle stepping into the role of Director. Under her guidance, we transitioned from a traditional energy brokerage to a “Green Tech Energy Reduction and Brokerage.”

This transformation included not only a new website and office space but also the expansion of our team and national partnerships.I take great pride in where our company stands today, and I am genuinely excited about the growth plans we are developing together. If you are seeking clarity, structure, action planning, and a supportive cheerleader to help you navigate challenges—Michelle delivers all of this and more, including the occasional, much-needed push to keep you on track.Her expertise and enthusiasm make her an exceptional collaborator, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any organisation looking to elevate their operations.”
