How Coaching Can Help

One-on-one coaching is completely tailored to your needs and goals. I work with you to uncover your greatest strengths and to then set intentional goals that are aligned with your values. I work with you to face what is getting in your way, and I support you in creating meaningful action plans that produce lasting change.

I am a huge believer in the empowering aspect of coaching that allows you to take your future into your own hands. I have witnessed transformational changes in my clients as they begin to own their values, set goals that are important to them, and celebrate their incredible results.

Here are some accomplishments my clients have made through coaching: hiring new employees that are a great fit for their organization; busting through imposter syndrome; facing difficult situations at home and at work and finding creative and positive solutions for themselves and others; leaving a job that is a poor match and entering into fulfilling work; receiving a raise at work after asking with confidence.

Mindfulness for Busy Leaders

Mindfulness strategies can be practical and the research shows that brief practices are very effective. Experienced mindfulness trainer, Dr. Michele Kielty, teaches simple and effective practices that can be used in and out of the workplace to create calm, focus, and greater well-being. The well-regulated individual works better with and for others. This is a workshop during which participants learn and practice skills.

Strength-Based Team Building

Research tells us that it is more effective to build on strengths than it is to try and correct all of our perceived weaknesses. This workshop incorporates an evidence-based assessment from the field of positive psychology to determine strengths. Individuals and teams benefit from examining how to optimize strengths and plan intentionally around using them for the greater good of themselves and the organization. This is a highly interactive workshop facilitated by Dr. Michele Kielty.

Leaning on Resilience & Self-Compassion

The stressors of our everyday lives can sometimes be overwhelming and we start to lose focus, momentum, and even a sense of meaning. During this workshop, we lean into self-compassion and personal resilience to connect back with our personal passion and motivation for the work that we do. We explore personal resilience styles and learn self-compassion practices. We discuss how to enhance our teams and work spaces through resiliency and compassion for self and others. Dr. Kielty facilitates an interactive learning experience throughout this workshop.

Create A Custom Workshop

All workshops are custom-designed to meet the needs of your organization. Fees include initial consultation, workshop preparation, workshop delivery, and follow-up.

Building a Positive Workplace Environment

As workplace pressures abound, it can be easy to lose sight of how we impact our environment and others around us. Burnout or lack of purpose can make us lose sight of creating the type of spaces that important for thriving. This workshop centers on workplace values and goals as well as creating an intentional climate. This workshop takes into account the specific needs, values, and goals of the organization. This is a highly interactive workshop facilitated by Dr. Michele Kielty.

Inner Work for Increasing Happiness and Work / Life Balance

Dr. Michele Kielty uses a wellness model to examine personal work/life balance. Participants evaluate multiple facets of their current well-being using an assessment provided by Dr. Kielty. Participants are led through a values-based, intentional goal-setting session that addresses tangible work/life balance strategies. Participants will leave with a personal self-care plan.

Strengthening Teams via Awareness of Self and Others

If we know ourselves, our preferences and our strengths, we can communicate more clearly and effectively. We can also better develop the assets we can bring into our workplaces. This workshop incorporates two evidence-based assessments, featuring personality preferences and character strengths. Individuals and teams benefit from examining preferences and learning how to optimize teammates’ contributions. This is an interactive workshop provided by Dr. Michele Kielty.

Workshop & Coaching Testimonials

What Our Attendees Are Saying

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. 

Bruce Blair Executive Director, Mental Health America of Augusta

In a group of very diverse non-profit leaders, Michele was able to deliver information and assist leaders in developing the necessary skills to promote healthy communication and effective working relationships. She not only provided excellent data, but also practical strategies and methods to use with their respected teams.

Attendee Mindfulness for Busy Leaders workshop

The most valuable part of Michele’s workshop for me was developing the skill/habit of being able to observe thoughts/emotions/situations in the moment and to pause enough to make an intentional decision on how to respond to clients and/or co-workers.

Chapman Hood Frazier Professor in Residence in Prince Edward County

Michele did an excellent job of working with a large group of teachers to present introductory information on Mindfulness. She was accessible and collegial and worked well to address their questions.

Attendee Mindfulness for Busy Leaders workshop

Michele did a great job sharing her expertise, providing real life examples from her own life and creating space for participation from all in attendance. She also exhibited very good listening skills and responded in a way that affirmed the value of each person's contributions.

Attendee Mindfulness for Busy Leaders workshop

As a result of Michele’s workshop, I will be trying to make a practice of implementing a one-minute breathwork break a couple of times a day. I am ready to practice observing what's going on around me rather than letting it control me & without feeling like I have to "fix" everything.

FAQ

Workshop FAQ

First, we have a planning meeting after we agree to the terms of the contract. I provide you with a proposed outline of what will be covered. I deliver the workshop (in person or via zoom if preferred). Finally, we have a meeting to assess the effectiveness of the workshop and provide space to talk future directions for your organization.

No, not at all as these are examples of popular workshops I have delivered. My experience, training and credentials in the fields of coaching, counseling, and training allow me to provide high quality custom workshops. I can create a custom workshop for your organization based on your needs.

Additional examples include de-escalation of high intensity clients and self-care for providers, creating self-care plans for leaders in high-intensity professions, and finding meaningful career pathways.

The length depends on the needs of the organization, including any assessments that will be used. Once we discuss your organization’s needs, I will develop a proposal for you to review.

Use my contact form or email me at michele@michelekielty.com and we will set up an initial introductory call to discuss your needs. I will then send you a proposal for the work we have discussed and we will create a timeline from there.

The length depends on the needs of the organization. Typically, ½ day and full-day workshops are most popular. I can provide longer workshop experiences if needed.

Coaching FAQ

Coaching appointments are typically once a week for a month and then every other week to once a month, depending on your needs. We contract individually for coaching needs after we have an introductory call.

Introductory calls are free and typically last 15-20 minutes. My coaching packages for 6 sessions start at $1200 and go up from there, depending on sessions and needs, and whether you are an individual or corporate client.

Use my contact form or email me at michele@michelekielty.com and we will set up an initial introductory call to determine if we are a good fit for working together on your goals.

Coaching focuses more on helping you move towards future goals, helping you see what is getting in the way of reaching these goals, and setting up accountability to support your progress. Counseling may delve into past issues and process life traumas that need attention. Although I am a licensed counselor, I am not taking on the role of a therapist during our coaching work together.

The coaching process can be anywhere from 2 months to a year, depending on the client’s needs.
