A Powerful Force
for Brave Ideas
You've built something real. You know what you're doing.
But right now, something feels stuck, scattered, or harder than it should.
That's a turning point. And that's exactly where I do my best work.
I'm not a coach who theorizes. I'm an entrepreneur who's been building, pivoting, and scaling for over 30 years...and I bring that lived experience directly to the women I work with.
I help seasoned entrepreneurs and leadership teams gain clarity at turning points and move forward with focus and momentum. No fluff. No long runway. Just sharp strategy and real-time action.
Here's how we can work together -
each designed for leaders who are ready to move.
Strategic Clarity Intensive
A focused working engagement for the entrepreneur who knows she's capable of more — but needs sharper focus to get there.
We clarify where you are now, where you actually want to go, what's truly in the way, and what to do next. Includes a pre-session clarity questionnaire, focused 3-hour working session, written summary with 90-day priorities, and a 30-day accountability check-in.
Team Strategic Reset
A half-day working session for small leadership teams (3–8 people) that need renewed traction and shared direction.
We clarify your priorities, make the decisions that have been avoided, define who owns what, and establish a clear 90-day focus. You leave aligned, energized, and moving.
On-Demand Vice President
Sometimes what you need isn't a one-time reset - it's an ongoing thinking partner who knows your business and is always a call away. As your On-Demand VP, I provide monthly strategy sessions plus ongoing support via call, text, and email. Available when it matters most.

"I was incredibly lucky to get connected to Michelle as we were exploring new product opportunities for our K-12 edtech startup called Impacks.

"Michelle was an absolute ROCK STAR at helping me look at my business in new and innovative ways. She was also instrumental in helping me sort through the noise in my head so I could put together a stellar 5-minute pitch for ILT Academy’s Demo Day for the Advanced Cohort in spring 2022. Her advice and expertise are so greatly appreciated and I’m thrilled to not only know her but to now call her a friend! Thanks, Michelle!"

"We were a company getting a large share of its revenue from one source and that source was shrinking. We scrambled 24/7 to try and make up that revenue. We were burned out. In the years since we have worked with Michelle, she has expanded every single aspect of our business."
