Michelle Chase, career and leadership coach, guiding women through stress, burnout, and workplace transitions with clarity and confidence.

Hi, I’m Michelle Chase.

I coach women from lived experience, not theory.

I have more than 20 years of experience leading teams in banking, fitness, commercial real estate, and coaching. I’ve rebuilt my career multiple times after navigating toxic workplaces and chaotic leadership. I created Empower Shift Coaching to give women the support I wished I had: clarity, confidence, and tools to make decisions they can trust.

I teach women how to see clearly, trust themselves again, and move into their next chapter with intention. My work integrates leadership development, nervous system support, and mind-body practices so you feel grounded, capable, and ready for change.

Empower Shift Clarity Session

Inspirational sign: “Difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations,” representing the path women take through high-stress or toxic workplaces toward empowered leadership and intentional career growth.

Our approach

Instead of traditional mindset coaching, our work focuses on the three areas women rarely receive support with:

Nervous system support

Stress and burnout change how you think, communicate, and make decisions. We help you move out of survival mode and back into a place of stability and calm.

Leadership identity

We rebuild the confidence, communication skills, boundaries, and self-respect that toxic workplaces often erode. This is about reclaiming the leader you already are.

Movement and fitness principles

Your body carries stress long after your mind tries to move on. Integrating movement helps release tension, restore clarity, and prepare you emotionally and physically for meaningful change.
