Leadership Coach. Speaker. Facilitator. Thought Partner.
Powerful * ENGAGING * Passionate * REAL * INSPIRING
Hi, I’m Michelle.
If you're looking for a speaker who will tell it like it is and light a fire under your audience, you've found your woman.
My journey from Broadway to TV executive to sought-after Executive Leadership Coach is a testament to my adaptability, insight into career evolution, and passion for having women have a career and life that they love.
My talks aren't just about climbing the corporate ladder; they're about dismantling it and building your own path to success.
I will challenge your audience to break free from societal constraints and lead authentically. I don't just inspire change; I provide the tools to make it happen.
Your audience will learn to stop pretending, own their unique strengths, and create careers and lives they love – all while making waves for generations to come.
“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.”

“I'm so much clearer about what I want. I've gone from questioning my leadership role to feeling a strong sense of contribution to our larger mission. We've transitioned from chaos to clear goals, and I understand my part in achieving them.”
