MICHELLE ORNAT, ACC
Idea to Action Coach for Women | ORNAT Coaching & Consulting, LLC
About
I'm an idea to action coach for women, the founder of The Soft Skills Way™ and Someday Has a Shelf Life™, and the owner of Ornat Coaching & Consulting.
What does idea to action mean?
I used to call myself a life and leadership coach. It was accurate and it never fit, mostly because the women I work with don't arrive sorted into categories.
After more than two decades in public library leadership, I came to coaching as a practice that had already transformed how I lived and led. It helped me interrupt overthinking, clarify choices, and stop waiting for perfect conditions.
I coach at the core: mindset, values, and identity. I coach the whole person, the blocks, the pull, what's between you and what you want to do, and what you choose to do about it.
