THE POWER OF WOMEN EMPOWERING WOMEN

Lesley Michaels was born to feminism. Her foundational ethos was shaped by her audacious paternal grandmother who was a 1st wave feminist and savvy businesswoman. She came of age just as 2nd wave feminism was becoming a significant American social movement. At age 16 she struck out on her own for NYC and the heart of the cultural transformation that was the zeitgeist of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s.

She was later one of the first women to break through the glass ceiling in the “old boy” industry of oil and gas. Shortly after leaving the corporate world, she was infected by a latent entrepreneurial spirit. Over the following years Lesley developed and sold several small businesses. In each case her staff was a multicultural representation of women.

During this same period, she became a leader in the coaching industry. Lesley has mentored Fortune 500 C-Suite executives, individuals within the financially privileged sector, and celebrities.

Lesley’s body of unique life experiences have provided her with a first-hand understanding of the daily struggles faced by women of every race, culture, and sexual orientation. On the Shoulders of Mighty Women is a tribute to the power and grace of those who came before and the ones who will follow, the warriors and the fallen. This book is one more way Lesley chooses to amplify the voice, energy, experience-based understandings and compassion of women fighting for equality, diversity, equity and inclusion.

Lesley facilitates virtual programs on topics ranging from Be a Giraffe in a Field of Zebras to Developing Women’s Strategic Alliance. Lesley also hosts the weekly podcast; Women We Should Know, and will be delivering her TED talk early winter of 2023, Lift One With You, As You Rise.

HERE ARE 3 TIPS TO HELP YOU ON YOUR ROAD TO SELF-EMPOWERMENT

  1. Realizing that things don’t always go to plan, make good use of those occasions. Always start with what went right, followed by when did you get off track and finally, what course correction can you make now?

  2. Full mind breaks. 3 times a day, walk away from your desk/office for 10 minutes. Either close your eyes and focus on your breathing to clear your mind, or walk outside, away from anyone who would want to pull you into a work related conversation.

  3. Calling all the way back to early training, women are taught to chase perfection. If you're not making mistakes, then you're not expressing any of your innate genius or creativity. Giving ourselves permission to make mistakes helps us still the critical mind.
