The Soft Skills Way™ MEMBERSHIP
For women who want to live and lead with clarity, confidence & ease.
The Soft Skills Way™ blends coaching and community, using soft skills as anchor points to deepen awareness, boost confidence, and own time, creating more clarity and ease, and a purposeful life that’s more than the triangle of work, home, and the thoughts that keep pushing the “I’d like to dos” to a later that’s really just a someday waiting on you.
Why This Membership Matters
You care. You show up and step up, handle what’s in front of you, and keep things moving for work, home, and everyone else. But somewhere between the responsibilities, anticipating, and the downtime you spend scrolling instead of owning, your “like-tos” slip to the edges of your world.
Days turn into months, months into years, and even though you keep getting things done, it feels like you’re living inside the triangle of work, home, and to-dos. You think about what you’d like to start, finish, resolve, change, experience, but self-doubt, overthinking, overextension, or just plain inaction keep you from taking the step.
The Soft Skills Way™ helps you make that shift by refining and leveraging your soft skills, owning your time, and learning to live and lead with clarity and ease.
Why Soft Skills?
Soft skills are not the nice-to-haves.
They’re the power tools behind every choice you make.
They influence how you speak up, set boundaries, handle conflict, and follow through.
You already have them.
The ease, clarity & confidence happens when you use them on purpose.
Inside The Soft Skills Way™, we refine and leverage skills like:
- Self-awareness
- Boundary setting
- Active listening
- Creative thinking
- Conflict navigation
- Decision-making and follow-through
- Perspective-taking

Why I Created the Soft Skills Way™
Michelle Ornat, CPC, ELI-MP
I was so done holding myself back and waiting. Honestly, I didn’t even know what I was waiting for. I was overthinking, second-guessing, and busying myself with things that seemed like I should do but were really just distractions, because it was easier. Until it wasn’t. I started waking up wondering where my spark had gone.
There was never going to be enough time or the perfect conditions, so I had to figure out how to use what I already had. That’s when I started refining and leveraging my soft skills. That realization came after a coaching session, and it changed everything.

What the Soft Skills Way™ Makes Possible
You’re here because you know why soft skills matter. We need them now more than ever.
The Soft Skills Way™ was created for women who are ready to stop living by reaction and start leading with intention. It’s more than a membership — it’s a practice that helps you shift from doing to being, from striving to choosing, from getting through the day to shaping the life you want.
Through coaching, skills mapping, and community, you’ll refine and leverage the soft skills that strengthen your confidence, clarify your values, and free up your energy for what matters most.
You’ll begin to recognize yourself as the kind of woman who leads her life on purpose — making aligned choices, using her voice with clarity, and finding ease where there used to be overthinking.
Because the Soft Skills Way™ isn’t about doing more. It’s about living with clarity, confidence, and ease, so the choices you make serve your vision for your work, your relationships, and your life.
