Leaders/Society
Michelle Hall is a life designer and coach known as The Pivot Queen, working with women rebuilding their lives and careers after forced change — the end of a marriage, redundancy, or a health diagnosis. Her approach draws directly on lived experience: she moved from Australia to the UK in 2003 with a backpack and £5,000, built a corporate career at British Sky Broadcasting, News UK, the BBC, and Ernst & Young, and navigated divorce, a chronic arthritis diagnosis, and redundancy along the way — experiences she openly frames as the foundation of her coaching. Her programmes combine values, skills, and boundary work with planning support, aimed at turning critical crossroad moments into what she calls a better life on your own terms.
