your next step toward meaningful change
You’re navigating uncertainty, resistance, and complexity, and still expected to deliver.
I help change leaders bridge the gap between intention and impact through coaching, community, and conversation.
Whether you’re leading from the middle or guiding a company-wide transformation, Streamside Coaching offers the support and perspective you need to bring your vision to life.
your partner in leading change
Leading change means living in complexity, where ambiguity, misalignment, and constant urgency are part of the job.
Many of my clients come to me overloaded and under-supported:
Solving every problem themselves.
Treating leadership as a distraction.
Frustrated when others can’t keep up.
They’ve made it work so far. But deep down, they know: it shouldn’t have to feel this heavy.
I’m Michelle Pauk, an executive coach and change strategist. I help leaders let go of patterns that no longer serve them, so they can step into a more spacious, sustainable kind of leadership—the kind that invites others forward and makes real change possible.
I work with:
Executives leading cross-functional transformation or rapid growth
Mid-level leaders influencing across teams and silos
Change agents bridging the gap between vision and implementation
how i help
I work with leaders who are guiding change in their organizations—especially when the stakes are high and failure isn’t an option.
Most change efforts don’t fall apart because people didn’t care or didn’t try.
They fall apart when the leader is unintentionally working against their own goals: over-directing, under-communicating, or sending mixed signals without realizing it.
It’s not about effort. It’s about alignment.
What I do is different from most change consultants. I don’t start with org charts or rollout plans.
Our work together starts with you—your presence, your patterns, your ability to read the room and respond in real time.
Through coaching and experiential learning, I help you become the kind of leader others want to follow: Someone who builds trust, navigates resistance, and stays grounded, even when the future is uncertain.
If you’re leading change and something feels off—or you’re worried you might be the bottleneck—let’s talk.
A short call could be the first step toward leading with more clarity, confidence, and calm.
