Michele McKenzie

Seventeen years of business experience working with the Energy and associated industries has given Michele an appreciation for the different aspects and challenges of the business. During her nine years in management Michele participated in restructuring divisions, provided leadership for change of culture, organization and business focus, led business teams, set corporate goals as part of senior management teams and delivered bottom-line results. Many of her roles required understanding of the needs of multiple stakeholders (customers, the corporation, interested parties, government, competitors and team members), and balancing the needs of all.

Business and sport have allowed Michele to leverage both her competitiveness and her desire to excel. However, working with people and seeing individuals grow and build their potential has provided greater reward and long-term value. The excitement of working with great people, watching individuals and team achieve phenomenal business and personal goals, and learning is what makes Michele passionate about coaching. Through coaching she is putting in action her belief in people and desire to provide service to those wanting to grow, build on their strengths and achieve amazing results. Michele enjoys working with leaders, visionaries, entrepreneurs, and diverse teams.

Michele has a B.Sc., an MBA and is currently pursuing formal coaching certification. Calgary has also provided opportunities for her to contribute to the community ranging from sitting on a not-for-profit board to promoting higher 'hard science' education to youth. She, her husband and two young children love the great outdoors, good food, and good conversation with the quality people here in Calgary.
