Michelle Press Rubin, JD, BCC, CCSP

I am an attorney who recognized early on that my greatest fulfillment comes from helping people reach their goals by identifying and unlocking their underlying strengths and interests.

 

After nearly a decade of practicing law and working with more than 1,000 clients, I realized that connecting with people is what truly drives me. I enjoy finding creative solutions to help people solve complex problems—often by motivating them to clarify what they really want and guiding them toward achieving their goals.

​

After stepping away from law to raise my children, I noticed a common challenge among my peers—many were feeling stuck in unfulfilling roles or struggling to reenter the workforce after a career pause, often after raising children or serving as caregivers. Wanting to help others navigate career transitions, I created and facilitated a career support and networking group where we met regularly to share ideas, network, encourage one another, and develop strategies to move forward. Through guided discussions and collaborative problem-solving, we helped each other build the momentum needed to embrace change and pursue meaningful career and life opportunities.

​

Momentum was born out of my love of helping others figure out what sparks them, embrace change, and identify—and ultimately achieve—their career and life goals. Inspired by this work, I pursued formal training in coaching, becoming a Board-Certified Coach (BCC).

 

In 2019, I started my own private career coaching practice, where I provide one-on-one guidance to individuals seeking clarity and fulfillment in their professional lives. I also work with groups and lead workshops designed to help people explore career transitions, clarify goals, and develop strategies for success.

 

Wanting to further expand my expertise, I also completed the Facilitating Career Development course through the National Career Development Association (NCDA) and earned the Certified Career Services Provider (CCSP) credential.

​

I enjoy working with individuals and groups to help them navigate career and life transitions, explore new possibilities, and take meaningful steps toward the work and life they truly want.
