Feminist Scholar. Professional Speaker. Leadership Strategist.
Dr. Michelle Morkert is a Fulbright Scholar and PhD in gender studies who has spent over 20 years researching women’s leadership around the world. She studies the systems, rules, and frameworks that shape how women work, lead, and live. She calls it the patriarchy’s playbook.
As a professional speaker based in Chicago, Dr. Michelle brings this framework to women in government, business, nonprofits, and NGOs throughout North America and Europe. Everywhere women work, the playbook is operating. Her work helps women see it, name it, and lead anyway.
Confidence Coaching
Confidence coaching for women leaders is a process of identifying what internally and externally is holding you back. It’s all about brain science plus social and economic systems that can work against women. Coaching asks “what can we change in ourselves so we can change the world for others?”
As a coach certified by the Confidence Institute, Michelle works with women and nonbinary leaders across industries, strategizing with them to identify their unique leadership abilities and overcome self-doubt. We’re making the world more resilient, one woman at a time.
