Hi! I'm Michelle

With over 20 years of mentoring and leadership experience, I’ve spent my life championing others not from the sidelines, but right alongside them. Whether growing up with five brothers or working with global organizations, I’ve learned that everyone needs someone who believes in them before they believe in themselves.

As President of MHG, I carry a deep passion for people into every space I lead. Over the years, I’ve been honored to:

  • Serve as a Director for a global youth organization, building bridges and investing in the next generation.

  • Help grow the TGI Girls Leadership Program from its inception, alongside an incredible team of female impact leaders, shaping confident and purpose-driven young women.

  • Lead as CEO of an international organization, impacting thousands across countries and continents through mentoring, leadership development, and empowerment.

  • Walk alongside countless individuals as an executive coach, equipping them to discover their potential and lead with clarity and confidence.
I’m passionate about building people, cultivating leaders, and driving faith-driven innovation. At the core, my calling is simple: to help others step into their full potential with courage and confidence.

You were made for more than just survival, you were made to thrive.

You don't have to chase purpose. It's already within you.

From Cancer to Crown to CEO

This past summer, my life was radically redefined. What began as an unexpected cancer diagnosis turned into a testimony of grace, resilience, and transformation. From the hospital bed to walking in healing, from deep uncertainty to renewed purpose — I was reminded that true strength is forged in the fire.

I call this season “Cancer to Crown to CEO.” It’s more than a phrase — it’s a declaration that pain can become power, trials can birth triumph, and setbacks can be the soil for transformation.

 

My story fuels how I serve. As the Chief Encouragement Officer, I carry both compassion and conviction into every space — reminding people that no matter what they face, they too can rise, rebuild, and walk boldly in their calling. I am here for you, your community, your city, or your organization.

I believe in the truth that wise counsel brings strength, that encouragement breathes life, and that love is the most powerful force we can carry into the world. That’s the heart I bring every day — to inspire, uplift, and partner with others to see transformation take root and flourish.

What happens when you step into your calling?

Real stories from real people who chose to live empowered.

I heard Michelle speak at Summit Church Orlando during the “For Her” speaker series, and I left feeling inspired, empowered, and full of hope for the future.  She is not only a dynamic and engaging speaker, but when she speaks, it’s as if there is a light beaming from within her, touching the hearts in the room.  She has a way of leaning in with her words with such warmth yet with such convicting boldness to help push you into purpose. I knew that she just didn’t have an impact on me once I saw all the women waiting to meet her after the event.  I can’t wait to find out where she’ll be speaking next! She is phenomenal!

Jackie Louis - Jean

Michelle is a speaker who exhibits a profound passion for helping others discover their purpose and identity. She is a wise, gifted, enthusiastic, and inspiring communicator. Her profound affection for people and their growth emanates from the depths of her heart and resonates with all who hear her. She possesses a unique ability to come alongside individuals and illuminate who they were created to be while also providing practical applications to their daily lives. Michelle is adept at connecting with individuals of all ages, fostering an atmosphere of collaboration and growth.

One of my most vivid memories is the sight of the crowd’s faces while we were all listening to Michelle. It was amazing to see the engagement and light in their eyes. Being in the room and hearing the conversations afterward was also impactful. It was truly an experience to witness. She is an inspiring speaker who can bring about transformational change.

Ms. Michelle is not just a speaker and professional mentor; she’s a guiding light in my life. Her unwavering faith and beautiful relationship with God inspire me daily, showing me the depth and strength that such a connection can bring. I’m in constant awe of her, envisioning her as the woman I aspire to be. Her “can do” and “I’m going to shine regardless” attitude is infectious, creating a domino effect of empowerment, making me believe that nothing is impossible. In her presence, I’ve understood that the word “possible” is hidden within the seemingly impossible. Words and testimonies fall short of capturing the true beauty of her spirit. I feel honored and grateful to call her my mentor and others will feel the same after hearing her speak.

Jazmine McLeod

Michelle’s lectures have a profound effect on listeners and pierce the ears and hearts of those in attendance. I’ve seen her ability to simplify complex ideas to reach minors. In addition, she understands her words have power, and her speaking has served as an inspiration for my leadership.

Jill Rainwater

Director of Community Life River Terrace Church

Michelle is one of my absolute go-to leaders and speakers. She is reliable, encouraging, and impactful. Her content and her communication style gets through to listeners in a powerful way, and throughout my career, I found myself choosing her over and over again.
