Michele Grant – Coach and mindfulness-based resilience trainer

Michele Grant is a founding director of Rising Minds, a social enterprise company which has pioneered a blending together of mindfulness training and coaching. Michele works across the corporate, public and third sectors to deliver programmes designed to enhance wellbeing and resilience in the workplace. She also works with people who are held back by difficult circumstances or past experiences, particularly those who face severe and multiple disadvantage.

Michele believes that the underpinnings from neuroscience are what make these services so powerful. By understanding what triggers us we lessen our unproductive struggles and make wise choices for ourselves.

Michele is an ICF accredited coach and trained to teach mindfulness at the Oxford Mindfulness Centre within the University of Oxford’s Department of Psychiatry.

She is also trained to teach Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She is currently a trustee of Relate (north and east London) and Unlock, the criminal justice charity and a former trustee of Shelter.
