Transcending Limitations

"I always look forward to my coaching sessions with Michelle, especially when I need motivation. She finds a way to stir my enthusiasm and make intuitive comments that refuel my energy. She listens in a way that catches just where I am stuck and where I need to focus. I love her sense of humor that makes the session all the more fun. Having worked together for a while, I appreciate her deep caring and our connection, as well as all that I have accomplished."

For the first time in my life I felt I really got a handle on living with ADD. Michelle's knowledge and understanding of what it was like for me living and working with ADD helped me understand, feel better about myself and develop new skills and strategies to help me deal with some of the things that were getting in my way at work and home. And an added bonus is she is very funny!!

By virtue of her outstanding coaching, creativity and consistent support, Michelle Friedman of Transcending Limitations transformed our annual fundraiser from an acceptable financial outcome to a rip-roaring success that exceeded our goals! We couldn't have done it without you, Michelle. Thank you.

"I worked with Michelle when I was in the Mentor Coach program. She substituted for one of our teachers and I loved her style of communicating immediately. I wrote her an email, before the class was over. Michelle helped me believe that I could retain MY style of being a coach, without losing who I have been as both a psychotherapist and coach for all these years. She asks challenging and very poignant questions and the timing of both is brilliant. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone who is looking for a coach with great listening and intuitive skills. She is honest, direct and forthright, all my favorite combinations in a coach. Michelle helped me believe I could stay the Feisty Female I am and still be a great coach. Thanks Michelle!"

I found Michelle Friedman and the Transcending Limitations program to be one of the most paradigm shifting experiences at a pivotal period of my life. Far more than coaching, the Transcending Limitations program is enlightening, encouraging, empowering, invigorating and, most of all, results-oriented. Michelle helps one develop a realistic and achievable game plan for life, including all aspects personal, professional, social, spiritual, etc. After establishing the “game plan,” Coach Michelle takes one through the difficult aspects of establishing the tactical steps to accomplishing your goals and objectives. Finally, Michelle helps you execute the “game plan” and, when necessary, make refinements and necessary changes.

In addition to the wealth of professional experience as a psychotherapist, Michelle Friedman provides her own experience of overcoming a major life challenge, which helps her clientele by enabling them to think outside the box and thereby fundamentally change their own lives. As an executive of a financial services firm, I believe the Transcending Limitations program would help anyone in facing and overcoming even the most difficult of life experiences.

I have lived with ADD my whole life without really understanding the reason things were harder for me and without skills to compensate for the ADD. Most of my life I have felt misunderstood, misperceived and frustrated. Since working with Michelle, I have a greater understanding of how ADD has impacted my life, my work, my family and my self esteem. She has helped me find new strategies and develop new habits to be able to be organized, responsible, and get the things done I want to as well as need to.
