About Michala
Michala Leyland
Why am I the Performance and Mindset Coach you were looking for?
Because I see you.
I was you and I get you.
You want to feel good in your work life again; you want to feel confident in your abilities and decision making and you want to enjoy the small amounts of quality time you have with your partner and children.
Whether you are a high achieving woman in a corporate setting, that is sucking the life out of you; or a successful online business owner, who’s got the financial freedom you wanted, but is a slave to your business; or a leader in the public sector, who is frazzled by the never ending demands placed on you,
I can help.
I’m Michala Leyland and I coach purpose driven women overcome with feeling overwhelmed and burnt out to give you the time and space you need, to give you the peace of mind you crave and feel successful again.
I’m passionate about the work I do because I have felt like you do and I don’t want anyone to feel like I did when I burnt out.
I’d climbed the management ladder to the top, like you do, and when I got there I didn’t enjoy the view. Having had children my whole perspective around what I wanted out of my working life had changed but the blueprint set by everyone around me, didn’t seem to fit with how I defined success.
I knew something had to give before my children started to feel the impact of my stress and I was already seeing some of the effects on one of my children.
Enough was enough.

What changed?
I want you to experience the transformation I have experienced using the tools and techniques that have saved me from myself and allow me to love my life and work again.
I’ve gone from sabotaging myself with over working, looking after everyone but myself and feeling like nothing was good enough (Typical high achiever behaviour btw) to feeling more successful every day and taking the brave step to run my own business online.
I’ve stopped resenting everyone around me for feeling like a weight around my neck to feeling grateful for the quality time we spend together and taking time for me, guilt free. That means spa weekends with girlfriends, nights out with the love of my life and working around my treasures school day so I can be there when they need me. I’m also very conscious about what additional responsibilities I take on and
I’m comfortable saying no, without feeling guilty. I love my singing lessons, advnced conversational French, as well as volunteering and doing project work for
Lighthouses Therapy Services.
I adore going to the theater and having adventures at home and abroad.
Am I perfect?
Do I always get it right?
Of course, not. I’m human. I can make mistakes and experience the growth, but I can be me now , without beating myself up for it.
Burnout is an opportunity
Burnout impacts on your confidence, I should know self-doubt and overworking nearly crippled me during mine, and it’s made you feel foggy and unfocused. You can’t see the wood for the trees, but you have to know that this may be the best opportunity of your life.
It was for me.
An opportunity to look at what you are doing and why.
An opportunity to look at who you are and what you want today.
An opportunity to look at how everything you need to live at your next level is inside you right now.
The high achieving women I have worked with have walked away with their lives transformed for the better and you can too.
Yes, you have money, the holidays, the nice house, car, clothes, but you don’t feel good inside. You aren’t enjoying it all and you are doing it all.
I felt that too. I read the books, I watched the videos, I did so many courses, but it wasn’t until I used the tools and techniques I was learning, and invested in coaching, to get crystal clear on what I wanted and why, to identify what action I needed to take and to empower myself to take it, did anything have a lasting impact that changed the course of my life. It gave me the courage and self belief that I could manage my energy and take the brave steps to leave the world of employed work and set up my own coaching and training business. It’s allowed me to write books, win multiple national awards and gain motivational speaker opportunities.
