Build a business that works the way you do

Many disabled people start a business so they can work in ways that fit their skills, their energy and their needs.

Many build the solution they wish they’d had, because disabled people are excellent innovators and problem-solvers.

Whoever you are, and wherever you’re starting from, we meet you there first and without judgement. Then we help you design strategies that fit your business and the way you work best.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You have a business idea but aren’t sure where to start.

  • Employment no longer works for you, and you want to build a business that lets you succeed your way.

  • You’ve noticed a gap, based on your own lived experience, and want to bridge it with your business.

  • You’re building, scaling or pivoting, and the decisions feel complex or uncertain.

  • You’re running everything alone, and the isolation is real.

  • Your energy is finite, and admin eats into the work only you can do.

  • You’re new to AI, or already using it and ready to go further, while staying the human in your loop.

Advice is everywhere. Space to think is rare.

Mentors and advisers offer valuable guidance. Coaching adds something different: it helps you develop your own insight, solutions and actions, so the progress keeps going long after our work together ends.

Ways to work with us

  • Business and entrepreneur coaching (1:1): a dedicated space to start, manage or grow your business, through practical strategies that deliver your vision, at a pace that fits your energy.

  • Confident Decision Making for Disabled Entrepreneurs: a group coaching programme to strengthen your clarity, confidence and decision-making while you build, scale or pivot.

  • Accessible AI Adoption: Being Human In Your Loop: a group coaching programme that helps you adopt AI in ways that fit how you think and work best. Used this way, AI becomes personalised assistive technology, freeing up time for the work only you can do.

Why group coaching works for founders

Imagine a room full of mirrors. You see reflections of others alongside your own, but the work stays focused on you and your business. By bringing people together with shared lived experience, we spend less time navigating assumptions about disability, and more time on what matters most: building your business.

What founders say

  • “I had the absolute privilege of working with Michelle Scicluna for business coaching and mentoring, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. The sessions were genuinely person-centred and thoughtfully tailored to me as an entrepreneur, a female business owner, and to the specific focus and needs of my business. Each session encouraged positive reflection and created space for creativity to naturally emerge and be explored, which felt both empowering and grounding.”

    Rhiann Marchant, Founder, Sensational Minds

  • “As a neurodivergent business owner with a diagnosis of ADHD, it was incredibly meaningful to be supported by someone with a deep understanding and lived experience of neurodivergence. This brought a level of insight, safety, and validation that added real depth and value to the work we did together. I thoroughly enjoyed every session and genuinely looked forward to our sessions. Her warmth, integrity, flexibility, and genuine commitment made the experience feel safe and empowering, and the impact of our working together has extended far beyond the sessions themselves.”

  • “Having someone like Michelle in your corner as a business owner is rare and something to be truly valued. I would absolutely one hundred percent recommend Michelle to other business owners without hesitation.”
