Meet Dr. Michelle Burkhard, The Coach Doctor
For more than 20 years, Dr. Michelle Burkhard has helped educators, coaches, and leaders do one thing that changes everything: shift the belief that shapes the behavior. Her philosophy is simple and proven. Change your thinking, and you change your life.
She began in the classroom, earned a doctorate in Education: Assessment, Evaluation, and Accountability, and then built something bigger than any one room could hold. Today she is the founder of Grow By 1, a certified transformation consultant, and an internationally requested speaker and trainer who serves clients across seven time zones.
Anyone can coach. Only an expert can mentor. Dr. Michelle brings the frameworks, the research, and the lived experience to do both, so the growth actually sticks.


From one classroom to seven time zones
Michelle began as a teacher. About twenty years ago she moved into coaching to scale her impact beyond a single classroom. She holds a doctorate in Education: Assessment, Evaluation, and Accountability, and she is a certified transformation consultant.
Today she is an internationally requested speaker serving clients across seven time zones, and a mother of three. She brings the rigor of research and the warmth of a teacher to every conversation.
Change the belief, and you can change the behavior and the life.
Coaching is not mentoring. It helps you find your own answers.
Growth of one, at a time.
We help people grow themselves, and we help coaches grow their impact and their business.
