Meet Michelle Hibbert

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Michelle Hibbert. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, so we’re so thrilled to have Michelle with us today – welcome and maybe we can jump right into it with a question about one of your qualities that we most admire. How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?

I owe that to my mother. She was a hard-working person in her career in nursing. She would always tell me that I needed to enjoy the work that I do as you would never consider it as work. When you were in that zone you would not have to worry about your work ethic as it was naturally already there.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

I’m Michelle Hibbert, a fellow Brit who has lived in Atlanta, GA for 18 years, and I bring a wealth of experience in both education and wellness. I have 18 years of teaching and coaching in the UK and USA across elementary school, middle school, high school, and community college settings in physical education and health, Guiding individuals toward holistic wellness is my jam to the extent that I’m a certified personal trainer through the American College of Sports Medicine.

My life coaching business was born from my own journey of seeking support to overcome struggles with my confidence, setting boundaries, and stepping out of my comfort zone to achieve my ultimate dreams. Now, as a Level 1 Certified Life Coach, I empower clients to make transformative changes, helping them overcome anxiety, overwhelm, stress, and procrastination in both personal and professional areas. What sets my practice apart is my focus on the six elements of wellness—physical, emotional, occupational, social, spiritual, and intellectual—tailored to meet my clients’ unique goals. I also bring my dry British humor and my results-driven mentality because I want everyone to succeed. Witnessing my clients’ growth and fulfillment brings me immense joy, as they gain confidence, resilience, and lasting happiness. Plus they learn a few jokes too!

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Adaptability has been a key quality in my journey, as transitioning between careers has required me to continuously learn and keep an open mind. Moving from teaching physical education in a classroom to guiding adults in holistic wellness, helping them navigate life transitions, has been both unique and rewarding in different ways. My advice is to embrace change, step outside your comfort zone, and remain curious—each new challenge is an opportunity for growth.

Communication skills have been crucial in all of my career roles. The ability to listen, empathize, and offer guidance is essential in my role as a coach. Practicing active listening and refining both verbal and written communication skills is something everyone should focus on to truly connect with others.

Lastly, I have a deep passion for helping others improve their lives. Seeing those around me succeed and live their best life brings me genuine happiness. If I can contribute to that in any way, it’s incredibly fulfilling. I believe it’s important for everyone to discover what they’re truly passionate about in their career. When you find what excites and motivates you, it no longer feels like work—it becomes a source of purpose.

Who is your ideal client or what sort of characteristics would make someone an ideal client for you?

My ideal clients are women aged 38-55 who are navigating significant life transitions, they often feel stuck or uncertain about their next steps. Some are suffering from anxiety, stress, overwhelm, procrastination, or perfectionism which has held them back for so long. They are eager to rediscover themselves, build confidence, and make meaningful changes in their personal or professional lives.

I also work closely with undergraduate and graduate students who are struggling to find direction, lack confidence, or feel overwhelmed by the pressures of transitioning into adulthood. Whether it’s guiding them to understand what they want out of life or helping them build the self-assurance to pursue their goals, my clients are individuals who are open to growth and ready to take the steps necessary to transform their lives.
