Testimonials

“I enlisted Michele as a Career and Life Coach during my recent and lengthy transition. She helped me focus on being authentic and ‘in the present moment’… and techniques for change that really work. I nailed my last interview and received a lucrative offer – and I attribute this success directly to the coaching I received from Michele. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an effective coach.”

General Manager at Axle Tech International in Chicago

"Michele is a dynamic and effective motivator and coach. I have had the fortunate opportunity to see her in action at several networking and leadership events. Her style is engaging, has high integrity and helps you focus on what you need to become an effective leader. She is honest and true, and is just the person to help you become your best. She also lead a session for the Troy Women's Association that helped the members understand their individual leadership styles and how to make our organization more successful."

President at Troy Women's Association in Detroit

“What I value about Michele is her refreshing approach – very open, clear and direct. She ‘reads’ her audiences well and responds to them accordingly. Her message is timely and important: if people are going to change, taking responsibility is the first step. Companies and organizations looking at a new voice to provide a motivational platform for their employees or members should seriously consider VeloCity’s unique approach.”

President at Clear Advantage in Detroit

“After a divorce, getting laid off and a death in my immediate family, I needed a new perspective. Working with Michele was easier than I expected, as I was able to wake up and clearly see what I needed to do. Doing the actual work was a lot harder. Once I let myself go ‘all the way down the rabbit hole’, the tools that VeloCity uses worked, and so quickly. Wow.” 

National Park Ranger at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco

“If you could see my collage wall, you’d see saying like Navigate Life… Turn Over a New Leaf… and one of my favorites: Get Unstuck. I’ve had these words of inspiration up for years in an effort to motivate me into action. Then I met Michele. What she’s done for me in a few short sessions, my was was never going to do. Now my company is open and ready for business and she is still ‘pushing’ so that I get to the next level. I can honestly say that she can assess situations quickly and recommends action plans wisely… And if you do the work, you will begin to see your dreams in motion as well. Don’t wait. Don’t hesitate.”

Owner and Medical Esthetician at Face Therapy in Detroit

“I was impressed with Michele's ability to target in on core issues so quickly. After just a few hours, I was able to see things that were blocking me, that I hadn't seen for years. She gave me the ability to be objective about my strengths and weaknesses, and move forward without the high level of fear that I had before. Making tough decisions became a lot easier. If you've put off making a decision in your career or life-direction for longer than a year, then you are probably stuck like I was. You need to talk to Velocity. In fact, I am now in my new profession as a successful Sales Trainer because of the work we did together.”                  

Managing Partner at Sales Partners Troy in Detroit

“Ms Wilke’s trainings and coaching sessions are insightful, unconventional, sometimes very difficult and extremely effective. She has a knack for analyzing complex systems, bottlenecks, relationships, information flow, cultural realities, whatever we needed to focus on… to implement real and lasting change.” 

HR Executive at SiemensVDO in Regensburg, Germany

“As an executive who thought I didn’t need coaching, at first I resisted the process… a lot. Then I had a realization that my interpretations were not accurate, and I admitted that I needed to change. When I finally let go of ‘control’ and do the work, it was unbelievable how fast we got to the core of the situation. Excellent method.”                 

Assistant Plant Manager at BMW in Munich, Germany

“Ms Wilke is highly appreciated as a factually competent and didactically skilled Trainer, Adjunct Professor and Advisor. She possesses an exceptional competence for analyzing international as well as local projects, and she has brought important new ideas and inspiration to our curriculum.”

President at Applied Sciences University Regensburg in Regensburg

“Michele-san is very fair… she can see many sides of a situation, about culture or ways to do business or managing projects. It is not easy to change, especially for us Japanese, but we do not have a choice if we continue to work internationally. This is very hard to do and demands effort, but it is possible. And now, we know how to do it.”

Global Sales Executive at Toshiba in Kyoto, Japan

"I first met Michele at a Southeast Michigan IIBA (International Institute of Business Analysis) event in 2009. I, along with the entire audience, was captivated by her message: "what would you be willing to do in order to make your vision a reality?" and how she delivered it. She was speaking at a professional organization of Business Analysts and Project Managers and was able to take a subject and relate it specifically to the audience of people who think, analyze and manage rather complex programs and projects for a living - many work globally as well. We recently had her speak again (her third time at the IIBA) in February 2010 and our average attendance was almost tripled - and I know this was directly due to people wanting to hear what Michele had to offer... She is a dynamic speaker who has a way of ensuring all participants are at ease, while pushing them gently and with insight and humor out of their comfort zones, and showing them how they can challenge themselves. I highly recommend having Michele speak at any event as the range of topics she is able to present on can resonate with any company or organization, with people of varying backgrounds and at varying stages of their lives."
