Hello and welcome!

I’m Michelle Mildiner, and I'm a life coach. 

In June 2020 I quit my office job after a second burnout. Firstly I slept a lot and thought my working career was over. But then I started to look after myself, and a few months later was teaching English as a foreign language and doing proofreading professionally. I had finally accepted that office work had  slowly worn me down and that enough was enough.

Leaving my  stable office job abruptly turned  out to be not such a good idea.  Covid 19 was just beginning to sweep the world and we were in lockdown. Most people were  preoccupied with not getting ill,  learning how to work from home, and perhaps how to bake cakes if they had any energy or motivation left  to do so. Very few people wanted to learn English online.  However, step by step, I built up a client base and have loved (almost!) every minute of it.

You may wonder then why I'm also working as a lifecoach. There are many answers to this question, and I'll try to take them one by one:

1. I love teaching and proofreading, but I also love being able to further support people in their work and daily lives.

2. After working for 25 years in various office environments and spending a long time feeling not good enough, not fast enough, not... whatever enough, I realised it wasn't just me who felt like this.  

3. Many of my English students have lacked self-confidence and felt like everyone else is better than them. I started to wonder how I could help (coach) them and if I could do that with other people too.
