Let’s Talk About Honesty.
I was seventeen when I moved from the Caribbean to the United States. I graduated from Princeton University and the University of Michigan Law School, lived in New York, got married, and started a family in Chicago. I worked as a lawyer for years, but all this time I noticed a few things that inspired me to make a change…
→ People who looked like me didn’t hold leadership roles.
→ People on the outside don’t know the hidden paths to success.
→ Businesses tell people to change without trying to change the workplace.
→ And I noticed that no one talks about any of the above.
“Michelle so artfully met everyone wherever they were on their journey.”
More Honesty.
It’s time to create workplaces where everyone belongs and thrives.
Building a positive and supportive work environment takes intention, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to help you cultivate a workplace where people feel valued, motivated, and empowered to do their best work.
I provide step-by-step guidance on fostering meaningful connections, navigating challenging conversations, strengthening teamwork, bridging generational differences, and creating a culture where everyone can succeed.
Every workplace is unique, which is why I customize my approach to fit your needs. Together, we’ll design a workplace where people feel a true sense of belonging and have the support they need to thrive.
