“I have been so lucky to work with Michelle Gruening over the last year and a half. From the very first session, Michelle created a warm, welcoming environment that made me feel comfortable and understood. Her approach is compassionate, yet highly practical—helping me uncover behaviors about myself while giving strategies to achieve my goals.

As a small business owner, it is so nice to have someone in your corner to listen, question and devise a plan. Changing thinking patterns and actions is difficult enough to do by yourself, but to know you have another viewpoint is so amazing! Whether it was goal-setting, time management, or overcoming self-doubt, I always left our sessions feeling like I had a clear path forward.

My time with Michelle is invaluable and has gotten rid of stressful situations that I found myself in over and over. I have received such great support and am continuing to grow, both personally and as a business owner.”

- Renee Johnson, Orangetheory Fitness Franchise Owner

“Earlier this year I decided to invest in myself. Michelle is worth every penny. My personal growth this year has been extraordinary and it has spilled over into every part of my life, even my business. I have grown my client base five times what it was this time last year. And the best part is, I can handle the growth because I have grown personally. I’m a boundary setting, self-aware, goal accomplishing queen. I’m so thankful for her.”

Lisa Leanne, Owner of Esthetics with Love Salon and Spa

“MG Coaching has been such an asset to my business journey. Michelle is knowledgeable, professional and truly cares about my growth as a business owner. She has guided me through the peaks + pits of entrepreneurship, while providing me with the proper tools to move forward in the future. Michelle has pushed me out of my comfort zone (many times) both personally & professionally by encouraging me to set goals and hold myself accountable, all while being intentional and enjoying the process of entrepreneurship. My confidence is at an all-time high because Michelle has helped me develop skills to help take my business to the next level. My profits + productivity have grown so much over the past year and that is truly a reflection of MG Coaching’s guidance and support.”

Katy Brosious, Owner of King Interior Designs

“Working with Michelle has been extremely transformative and restorative for how I view myself and the world around me. After enduring some major life changes, I no longer viewed myself as the person in charge of my life. I didn’t feel confident in my choices and I felt stuck and ambivalent about my next steps. With the Mastermind group, Michelle met me without judgment, listened to me, and guided me through understanding what I really wanted out of my life. Having accountability with other people who are aspiring to improve themselves offers comfort and reassurance that I am making progress. Now, I’m pursuing a career path that I want, I’m setting boundaries, and I’m focused on self-care. It’s been a 180 from how I started the year!”

Chauntée Clark, Fintech + Risk Management Consultant

“I joined Michelle’s Mastermind looking for professional growth and training. Not only did it deliver on that promise, but it also exceeded my expectations. Michelle's coaching has helped me find my focus both in my personal and professional life. I better understand my strengths and how to use them. I feel supported, heard, and challenged to always take the next step in my journey for growth. This has been a reset for my frame of mind and my vision. I feel more at peace and centered, which has allowed me greater growth both personally and professionally. I would strongly recommend Michelle's Mastermind training to anyone who is looking for growth, guidance, and support in any facet of life.”

Stephanie Arthur, Creative Works

“Between her hearing my words and repeating them back to me so I slow down and hear myself, books she’s recommended, the accountability, and mindset shifts that were so necessary, my mindset has made a huge change. She’s helped me hone in on and implement systems that I desperately needed, and she’s helped me see what I need and what I actually don’t.

She’s one of the reasons I’m still an agent and a successful agent. I truly can’t recommend her enough. I cant imagine anyone working with her who doesn’t improve and reach their goals. She really is that good!”

Ruthie Graham, Meybohm Real Estate

“The Mastermind is a core group of women who have the same growth mindset and who show up in a space of trust and vulnerability where we can be honest with each other and ourselves. It’s not just a conversation, there is work every week to push ourselves, our boundaries, and grow our skills and mindset for our growth journey. We are held accountable for doing the work and I have more focus and clarity across the important things, and I know where to place my energy.”
