What Does It Mean To Be BRAVE?
Bold
Being BRAVE means daring to take risks and challenge the status quo. Bold leaders inspire change and encourage innovation, creating environments where new ideas can flourish.
Resilient
Resilience is about bouncing back from setbacks and adapting to challenges with grace. Resilient leaders foster a culture of perseverance, inspiring their teams to overcome obstacles together.
Authentic
Authenticity involves embracing your true self and leading with integrity. Authentic leaders build trust and foster genuine connections, creating inclusive environments where everyone feels valued.
Visionary
To be visionary is to look beyond the present and inspire others with a clear vision for the future. Visionary leaders drive their organizations forward with purpose, motivating their teams to strive for excellence.
Empowered
Empowerment is about equipping yourself and others with the tools and confidence needed to succeed. Empowered leaders create spaces where everyone can thrive, enabling their teams to reach their full potential.
Why Is It Important For Women To Feel Empowered?
The Business Case for Enhancing Female Engagement
Organizations that prioritize female employee engagement can achieve up to 21% greater productivity and 25% higher profitability. Yet, many struggle with disengagement, leading to lost potential and increased turnover costs.
The Challenge of Disengagement
Disengaged employees can cost organizations up to 1.5-2 times their salary in turnover costs. High levels of disengagement lead to decreased morale and productivity. Many companies lack targeted initiatives to support women’s engagement and development.
Why Engagement Matters
Highly engaged female employees are 33% more productive. Investing in engagement initiatives drives business performance and innovation. Organizations with engaged employees experience improved morale and teamwork.

What Clients Say About Michelle
Participating in Michelle’s small group cohort restored a piece of my spirit. The process and content she’s curated enabled me to repave the path that I had wondered from, while removing the angst of recreating healthy boundaries in order to do so. Her ideas and celebration of small wins is a formula that helped me restart progress on my personal goals. She helped me move away from overwork and stress to a more joyful, better balanced life.
- Annie D.
Change Management Executive
I found so much enjoyment in the conversations and friendships that developed during the BBW sessions. I became more cognizant of self-care and implemented several healthy practices. I have also learned that I don’t need to do everything at once, and that pausing to give myself gratitude is healthy. I appreciate the lifelong gifts that this experience has brought to me.
- Ranea S.
Contact Center Leader
Michelle was amazing. She tuned into each of us- our goals, our needs, our strengths. She is organized and on time. She has goals and objectives for each session, and sticks to those. She directs and guides the conversation. She has excellent questions to get us communicating and sharing. You encourage change, but there is no pressure! Because of the program I am being more mindful and journaling. I am very in tune with my health. I felt so blessed to be part of this group.
-Janice N.
Teacher
These sessions with Michelle were very insightful, refreshing, and fulfilling. I've spent a lot of time learning about how to be healthier and Michelle was able to point me in several directions I had not previously discovered. Michelle's delivery style is very engaging, personable, and approachable. In a group of mostly strangers, we each had trust and faith in Michelle, which led us to easily share and become friends with each other. I was sad to see our 6 months end. I highly recommend her small group cohort to anyone on a journey to learn about themselves, whether she is a beginner or advanced. Well worth the time!
-Shannon M.
Retired Financial Services Executive
Michelle is one of the best coaches you could ever find! Her approach to coaching, and life in general, is so refreshing. She is able to really make you dig deep and think about things in a different way when it comes to your life goals & choices you make. Over the course of the session, I found myself being much more positive and applying a lot of the concepts and things she taught us to everyday life. She's the most non-judgmental person and makes you feel comfortable no matter what you need to talk with her about or guidance you may need. I would highly recommend her program to help you get your life on the path you truly want to be on!

I have benefited greatly from Michelle and the program. I was grouped with women, from all walks of life, and we quickly formed a tribe which was a bonus. A safe space is created which gives you the comfortability to maximize the experience to the fullest. In the sessions, we shared personal and professional life experiences and struggles. As a very passionate mentor, Michelle always challenged me to expand my way of thinking towards circumstances I faced daily. She pushed me to set intentional and realistic goals. Not only did I attain perspective, but also inspiration and tools to give me a clear sense of direction. Michelle is such a sincere mentor; she is resourceful and has connected me with so many other professionals. She sees through to the heart, listens patiently, and intently during everyone of our sessions. I believe wholeheartedly that everyone could use a dose of Michelle’s unmatchable mentorship.
