About The Leader Coach
Empowering Leaders
The Leader Coach equips individuals and supports organisations with the authentic leadership and impactful communication skills needed to succeed, stand out, and stay resilient in today’s fast-paced world.
Founded by Michelle May, a former national television news presenter and correspondent, The Leader Coach draws on her 14 years reporting major UK stories and interviewing prominent leaders in high-pressure environments.
Having seen firsthand how strong communication, clarity, and presence shape public perception and leadership impact, Michelle transitioned into coaching to help others develop these skills from the inside out.
Michelle went on to lead as Head of Training at a global leadership development company, before launching her own coaching practice in 2017. Since then, she has supported over 400 leaders, managers, teams, and business owners to achieve personal, career, and organisational breakthroughs.
The Leader Coach also collaborates with a trusted network of senior leadership coaches and performance psychologists — each bringing specialist expertise.
Blending world-class communication skills with real-world leadership insight, we deliver consultancy and bespoke coaching that helps individuals and teams communicate with authority, lead with impact, and build an authentic, lasting presence.
Modern leadership demands resilience — and this is where we excel, helping leaders manage stress, stay clear-headed under pressure, and confidently guide their teams through challenges.
Whether you’re starting out and aiming for your next promotion, part of a senior leadership team seeking to align messages around change, or working in L&D and looking for a partner to support coaching programmes, The Leader Coach has experience at every level.
Whatever your leadership challenge or ambition, get in touch today to start making meaningful change.
