Michelle Mackinven

I love connecting with people, understanding what makes them tick, and helping them navigate challenges to achieve their goals.

My Story

I’m all about putting people first and helping teams and organisations thrive. Having worked across a wide variety of businesses and industries, from multinationals to startups to local government, I've seen the impact leadership can have on people and business results. I bring my experience across culture, leadership, strategy, and organisational design, to create workplaces where people feel truly valued, supported, and excited to do their best work.

My work is all about aligning culture with purpose, building strong leaders, and designing organisations that feel good to be a part of and deliver great results. Whether it’s coaching leaders, sparking collaboration, or embedding meaningful change, I bring plenty of energy, empathy, and a genuine passion for making work better for everyone.

Why I Love Sprout

Sprout embodies everything I value about people and culture, and their approach aligns perfectly with my passion for creating workplaces where individuals and businesses can truly thrive. I love collaborating with growth-focused organisations to design purposeful cultures, build leadership capability, and drive positive, lasting change. It’s a privilege to partner with teams that want to make a real difference in the way people experience work.
