Background

About Michelle Ward

For 15 years, I worked as a full-time business coachsultant (yes, I made up that term and I'm sticking with it!) helping hundreds of clients turn their “someday” business ideas into thriving realities. That work was enormously fulfilling, supported my family, and got me featured in places like New York Magazine, NY Post, The Huffington Post, Etsy, Newsweek, USA Today, Forbes, and dozens of other media outlets. Now, I'm proud to be the Co-Founder and General Manager of Rec Room, a sq. ft. coworking and event space opening soon in my town of Montclair, NJ! The space I'm opening with David Placek of BDP Holdings is one I've had in my head since moving here in 2016 - a hub to work, to gather, to meet, to collaborate, to focus, to hang, to find your community, to jump in a phone booth for a private call or rent a cool conference room when needed! Not only do I get to create this from the ground up - crafting offers and pricing, leading marketing efforts, weighing in on buildout needs, etc- but I get to do it in a skylight-filled space in the newly redeveloped Lackawanna Station. When I first walked in there I looked around and said,"I want to be here all day", and after we get done with it, I know you will too! And when I'm not Rec Room-ing it up? You'll find me performing in musicals, drawing with my kiddo, sitcom-binging with my husband, and keeping up the coachsulting on the side. I've also added new services to my Hello Business offers: designing/developing Squarespace websites that make an unforgettable impression + writing copy that strikes the perfect balance between sounding like *you* and connecting with *them*.
