Check your aliveness meter.

Is it in the red zone? Does it read "Losing Energy"? "Dangerously Depleted"? "Running on Empty"?

 Do you give your all to your organization, your family, your calling--and wonder if there's anything left for YOU?

I get you. I'm Michelle Burns, a personal and business coach who was once a high-powered international sales exec. I worked 60-hour weeks, was president of my local United Way and served on more nonprofit boards than I can remember. I was good at my job, and I rose fast; one night I found myself staying at the Taipei hotel that had just hosted Michael Jackson. I'd really arrived--but what was running through my head was, "I'm missing my kids' basketball game."

My life was out of balance.

So I took a long, deliberate look at what was important to me and to anyone who wants to live a life that's full, rich, and sustainable. I did my best to figure out what makes people THRIVE.

And I became a personal coach.

Today I work with heart-centered professionals, healers, and leaders--people who give of themselves every day--to help them find that balance. And to find themselves again.

My coaching and the retreats I lead help you THRIVE by reconnecting you with the sacred aliveness inside you. Tapping that power, with the aid of six powerful touchstones of growth--Trust, Heart, Renewal, Inspiration, Vitalization, and Empowerment (THRIVE)--not only balances your life, it makes you more effective in your work, your family life, and your commitments to service.

Most of all, it makes you happy, and it makes you free.

Join me in the adventure of returning your aliveness meter to the green zone.
