Michelle Holmes
Co-founder, Unscripted Leadership
Managing Partner, Hercules Coaching
Michelle is a Strategic Advisor to chief executives and executive teams, working alongside leaders at moments when the answers are rarely obvious: leadership transitions, strategic pivots, organisational tension and the conversations that determine what happens next.
For almost two decades she has worked with senior leaders across global organisations in Europe, Asia and the US, building long-term advisory relationships that give her a front-row seat to how leadership really happens, beyond the board paper, the town hall and the prepared answer.
Scottish-born and internationally minded, Michelle is known for asking the question others are thinking but have not yet put on the table and for making the uncomfortable productive. That is precisely the kind of conversation she is bringing to Unscripted.
