Michelle Ransom
social purpose in Toronto
Call me a facilitator, coach, consultant, thought-partner, program manager, or Michelle.
I help people get clear about the outcomes they want - boards, teams, individuals. To get to those outcomes, I design and facilitate meetings, planning retreats, business cases, board -development days and monthly reflections.
I encourage teams to reimagine what is possible, what steps we might take, and who needs to be involved. My work now includes coaching leaders and teams to run their own projects, improving operations through organizational excellence, leadership/team development and process improvement.
Showing up with curiosity and respect is important to me. As an employee or contractor, I build and manage programs that increase capacity for impact in not-for-profit, healthcare, government, and financial sectors.
My super-power is identifying possibility through guided conversation -- collaborating with leaders to take confident next steps. I am grateful to be working to improve the quality of life of others - and to be using those tips myself.
I'm a self-identified ambivert, flexitarian and enthusiast. My volunteer projects include: published patient partner in healthcare research, economic development coach for women's micro enterprises in North Macedonia/San Francisco, and food bank governance in Toronto. Originally from a hamlet in Saskatchewan, I have been drawn to denser cities in the UK, Macedonia, USA, China, and now Toronto - working on social-purpose projects.My super-power is identifying possibility through conversation. Possibilities lead to outcomes in professional development, team effectiveness, and operational improvement.
