Michelle Apostolou
Summary
Full Story
I spent 15 years as a senior operations leader in scientific organisations, but I realised that the corporate culture, long hours, and the lack of personal alignment were taking a toll on my physical and mental health. I was unfulfilled and felt disconnected from my environment and the leaders around me.
Despite achieving the career success society expects, I felt lost and miserable. I knew I needed to make a change, so I started researching successful people in my field, details on how they operate and realised that coaching played a big part in their success. I had worked with a coach earlier in my career and knew how much it had helped me, so I decided to find a coach again. After searching for a while, I came across Michael's article in GQ. His authenticity, vulnerability, and unique approach stood out to me, so I decided to reach out to him.
His consultation was different from anything I had experienced before. He took the time to really understand me, and I felt no judgment. His energy resonated with me, and I felt confident that he could guide me in a way that aligned with my values. Working with Michael helped me gain clarity on the areas of my life that were negatively impacting me, particularly my mental health, sleep, and sense of purpose. I wanted to create a new lifestyle rather than just a new career, and he helped me navigate how to bring together my passions for service and science, and financial security.
The biggest outcomes from working with Michael were a huge improvement in my confidence and mental health, along with a clear path forward. I now run three businesses: Quantum Living (focused on property investment and circadian lighting), a coaching and speaking business on quantum living, and Quantum Living Villages (focused on self-sustainable, off-grid villages).
The results came in stages. My mental health and confidence started improving right away, and within a few sessions, I had the clarity I needed to bring my ideas together. Working with him was a financial investment, but the return in terms of clarity, happiness, and mental health was tenfold. Michael is completely authentic, dedicated, and genuinely cares about your journey and outcome. He’s clear, direct, and truly committed to your success.
