Michelle is fueled by the mindset that courageous leaders, those with the audacity to think differently, are crucial to unleashing the suppressed human potential of curiosity and creativity. While theory and research are invaluable, her real-world execution experience is unparalleled.

She is known for her ability to be an "alchemist", translating complex, outdated business, leadership, and technology buzzwords into "human speak" with pragmatic actions.

Throughout her two-decade professional journey, she has invested countless hours fostering connections with hundreds of dynamic teams, from nimble startups to midsize to Fortune 500 organizations, collaborating with individuals across diverse levels and industries.

Her journey from escaping a war, facing the adversities of being an immigrant, to rising as a distinguished voice in business and technology embodies the essence of what is possible with bravery and curiosity.

As a global executive advisor, conscious leadership coach, author, and sought-after speaker for TEDx and keynotes, she guides a wide range of organizations and is deeply committed to inspiring people to shed auto-pilot limitations, use their voices, and embrace their brilliance.

Michelle believes that although machines will play more of a role in our future, we are humans, not robots; we thrive when we're free to be ourselves. In her new book, "Unmask Your Brilliance - Thriving in Workplaces Designed to Hide You," she unfolds a powerful journey, offering an "insider's" perspective on workplace pressures for conformity and false narratives, while providing practical tools to become a conscious leader, with no title required.
