Business Consulting at Horizon Coaching & Consulting is built to help organizations operate with greater intention and leadership strategies. Helping the way people lead and the way work gets done. Our approach supports companies that are experiencing growing pains, cultural disconnect, communication challenges, or operational inefficiencies and need a more a stable, and aligned environment.
Horizon's background spans more than two decades in NYC’s manufacturing and construction sectors, where we've guided teams through complex demands.

Linking these together creates workplaces where expectations are clear, teams feel supported, and performance becomes more dependable. The goal isn’t simply to solve problems in the moment, it’s to build a foundation and philosphy that sustains healthier workpace culture with more predictable results over time.

Working with Michelle came at a time when I felt lost and overwhelmed. From our first session, her warmth and compassion put me at ease, and she gave me tools and insights that truly changed my perspective.
She has a rare ability to listen deeply and guide without judgment, creating space for real breakthroughs. Michelle’s encouragement helped me build confidence, set meaningful goals, and make lasting changes. She was truly a light during one of my hardest seasons, and I’m so thankful for the clarity and direction I gained through her coaching.
