The STRETCH Method

About The Book

From 9-time Amazon International Bestselling Author and High-Performance Coach Michèle C. Kline comes a raw, neuroscience-backed guide to doing the one thing most people avoid: stretching beyond their comfort zone.

​

​STRETCH exposes the polished excuses that keep smart, capable people small — and replaces them with radical truth, science, and action. It’s the no-fluff, call-you-out-and-walk-you-through-it playbook for those ready to stop performing strength and start living it.

 

Kline blends real-world coaching, brain science, and bold storytelling to dismantle the lies we all tell ourselves:  “I don’t have time.”   “I’m not ready.”    “It’s easier for them.”   “That’s just who I am.”

​

Each chapter punches through a self-sabotaging mindset and rewires it with high-performance tools, reflection drills, and real stories of transformation.

 

If 360° IMPACT was about leading with influence, STRETCH is about living with intention — reclaiming your power, rewiring your excuses, and expanding your capacity for growth, purpose, and connection.

 

This isn’t a “self-help” book. It’s a self-leadership manual for those done waiting for the “right time.”

Because growth doesn’t happen when you’re comfortable. It happens when you stretch — messy, loud, and fully alive.

Want to make it a family affair?

Meet STRETCH Junior — the companion edition of this book written especially for ages 11 to 17.
 

It takes the same bold truths, mindset tools, and neuroscience-based lessons from STRETCH and translates them into stories, reflections, and real-life challenges young readers can actually relate to.


Because growth isn’t just an individual journey — it’s a shared one. Imagine reading side by side with your tween or teen, sparking conversations that go deeper than school and sports, and watching them discover their own power to stretch, too.


Your growth can inspire theirs — and together, you’ll redefine what’s possible at every age.
