Michelle has been featured in Business Mondays in a reflective piece exploring the lasting impact of appearing on BBC’s The Apprentice a decade ago, as the programme marks the launch of its 20th series.
In the article, Michelle looks back on her experience on the show and how it shaped her career beyond the boardroom. Far from being a moment frozen in time, her appearance became a catalyst for growth, resilience and long-term ambition, helping to sharpen her commercial thinking, strengthen her confidence under pressure and open doors that might otherwise have remained closed.
Michelle also shares how the lessons learned during that period have influenced her approach to business ever since: building and scaling multiple companies, investing in property, and mentoring others through complex financial and life transitions.
The feature offers a timely reminder that high-profile moments don’t define a career, what matters is what you do with the experience afterwards.
