It’s time to move from talk to transformation.
From boards to frontline managers, I work with leaders at every level to embed gender equity and inclusive leadership that sticks.
How I Work With Organisations
Michelle moves organisations from conversation to action by fixing the systems that hold women and workplaces back.
DEI Strategy &
Strategic Gender Equity Design
I partner with executives and boards to build equity strategies and governance frameworks that actually deliver results.
Inclusive Leadership Capability
From the C-suite to frontline managers, I equip leaders at every level with the mindset, tools and skills to make equity stick.
Evidence Based Health Checks
I run culture diagnostics and audits that expose where bias and barriers live, so leaders can act on facts, not assumptions.
Women's Leadership Mastery
I deliver research-grounded programs that accelerate women’s careers and close leadership gender gaps, while holding organisations accountable for systemic change.
Systemic Inclusion Activation
I design practical, intersectional programs that engage every manager and team member in building workplaces that work for everyone.
Sustainable Equity Governance
I help organisations embed accountability through equity committees, board reporting, and leadership scorecards, so inclusion isn’t optional.
My mission is clear: to fix the systems that stop women and organisations from reaching their full potential.
Speaking, MC, and Facilitation
I don’t deliver fluffy keynotes. I deliver truth bombs that move audiences from awareness to action. Whether I’m in a boardroom, on stage, or with a sporting organisation, I bring research, real-world experience, and a healthy dose of humour to spark change.
Key Speaking Topics
I speak about the issues that matter: fixing the systems that hold women back, building inclusive leaders, and creating workplaces that work for every human.
Inclusive Leadership for a Competitive Edge
I show leaders how inclusion isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s a competitive advantage. Inclusive leaders unlock performance, innovation, and retention across every level of the organisation.
Fix the System, Not Women: Closing Leadership Gaps That Last
I challenge outdated approaches that focus on “fixing women.” The real solution is dismantling the systems that hold women back and embedding structures that sustain gender equity.
From Conversation to Action: Embedding Gender Equity in Workplaces
I take audiences past the rhetoric into real, measurable change, with strategies, governance, and accountability that make equity business-as-usual.
The Confidence Conundrum: Why Women Don’t Need Fixing
I call out the myth that women lack confidence and show how systemic barriers, not personal failings, are the real issue. Women don’t need fixing. Systems do.
Network Like a CEO: Building Influence That Accelerates Careers
I map the trends shaping workplaces today and show how inclusive leadership is no longer optional, it’s the essential skill for leading resilient, future-ready organisations.
Women’s Leadership Mastery: Accelerating Careers with Impact
I share the strategies women need to rise with clarity, confidence, and credibility, and what organisations must do to support them systemically.
The Future of Work is Inclusive: What Every Leader Needs to Know
I show how inclusion is the essential leadership skill for building resilient, future-ready organisations, and why it can’t be left to chance.
Advancing Women in Sport: Independent Insights and Playbooks for Change
I bring independent, self-funded research and a practical playbook for creating gender-equal sporting workplaces — on and off the field.
