Hi, I’m Michelle.

As an Executive Leadership Coach and keynote speaker, I transform how high-achieving women approach success and leadership. My journey from Broadway to television executive to leadership expert gives me unique insight into what holds talented women back – and more importantly, how to break through.

Through my signature framework, The Art of Compassionate Command™, I help leaders stop adapting to broken systems and start creating success on their own terms. My talks combine magnetic storytelling with actionable strategies, ensuring your audience leaves with both inspiration and practical tools for transformation.

I challenge audiences to move beyond conventional success metrics and create leadership styles that amplify rather than sacrifice their authentic selves. The result? Leaders who don't just advance careers – they revolutionize what's possible for themselves, their organizations, and future generations.

If you’re looking for a speaker who delivers both candid insights and concrete strategies, let's connect.

“Considering I came into the workshop late and 15 minutes later I had a life changing realization…Yeah, I’d say Michelle knows what she’s doing.”
