For All the Small Business Owners and Leaders
You don’t need to do everything yourself, micro-manage your employees, or put yourself at the bottom of your (never-ending) to-do list.
The biggest lie in leadership is that you just need to suck it up and work harder.
Because if that was true? You wouldn't be reading this right now.
So let’s be honest....…
Success comes from strategy, self-development, and customized support.
And that's exactly why the Leaders' Lounge membership exists
I'm here to give you the support, strategies, and tools to make leadership life easier without burning yourself out.
50% OFF for the first 15 members - 4 spots remain.
What's Included in my Membership?
✅ Monthly Group Coaching Calls: We’ll meet on Zoom and talk about your questions, where you’re stuck, and how to move forward. This is your chance to ask for coaching and for us to discuss questions and challenges we all face as we work toward making positive and exciting changes in your leadership. All calls are recorded for members who can't make the call.
✅ Monthly Interaction Live Workshops: 2-3hr workshops that boost your knowledge about effective solutions. These workshops are for members only and will not only help you improve your skills but you will receive mentorship in real time by me. All workshops are recorded for members who can't make the session.
✅Weekly Audio Riffs: Each week I’ll be releasing an exclusive video, and these will address a variety of change-related topics. These videos are for subscribers only and will give you things to chew on as you go through the week!
✅Mini-Courses: One thing that I am super excited about with this community are the mini-courses! There are so many cool and unique topics that can have a profound impact on change and personal growth, and I am going to be bringing that to you in the Membership. Once every three months or so I will release a mini-course on these topics - and as a member you get access to the courses for free.
✅Community Discussion: We have a private community in Circle where you can post anything, a share, a request for support, or a win! You will hear from me and other members so that you always feel like you have a team by your side. This is a place where we can all talk about anything that you’d like to share or address between the calls. Example below -
✅One-on-One Call Access: The membership is the only place where you can book a single one-on-one call with me! I usually sell one-on-one coaching in packages, but if you are a member and would like to book a single hour, you will be able to do so at the discounted rate.

Sarah Manchester
Pet Services Business Owner
"This was extremely helpful.
I really appreciate you challenging the idea of me taking away the job. Because when I do look at all the facts of this employee's behavior and actions, most of them point to them not wanting to be here in the first place. I feel a lot better about the situation. Although still nervous, I feel more concrete that the decision I'm making is the right one. Thank you for working with me, Michelle. I'm very grateful to have another perspective."

Learning Center Business Owner
"I used to agonize over every decision because it seemed like I could never make everyone happy, and take everyone's feedback so personally it would just replay in my head all night. Working with Michelle helped me build a better place to work so employees would be happy instead of people pleasing to keep them happy. Now, my team respects me more. And I finally feel like I'm actually LEADING instead of just reacting to everyone's feelings."

Why is the Leaders' Lounge different?
What does my tattoo say?
Be Courageous - Ever Evolving & True to Yourself
This isn't leadership theory from someone who just learned it to teach it.
This is real-world leadership from someone who's been in your shoes.
I've had employees quit with no notice and had to bail on family commitments to get the job done.
I've hired who I thought was star only to fire them 2 months later and gone back to the drawing board.
I've become too friendly with staff and felt the painful sting of watching them take advantage because of it.
I've wondered - how the f*ck am I going to fix this? Too many times to count.
I've cried some angry tears and questioned if I'd reached the limits of my talent.
And... I pulled out of all of those situations.
By elevating my self-leadership and team leadership, one notch at a time, to break through each new ceiling I hit.
Every step of the way, I had someone I could call for advice, for an ear, for support.
Because we don't get good in our own silo.
The Leaders' Lounge is different because you get ME.
Someone who's lived it, breathed it, failed at it, mastered it, and can guide you through your own leadership journey.

Workshop #1The Strategic Reset
Recording inside the Lounge. Workshop 2 builds off of workshop 1

"Working with Michelle has been an incredibly impactful experience. Her organized approach, paired with her warm and empathetic demeanor, creates a perfect balance of practical guidance and meaningful self-reflection. In just a couple of sessions, I gained valuable strategies and insights that have already helped me progress toward my goals. Michelle’s no-nonsense style makes every session focused, actionable, and deeply rewarding"
