Feminist Scholar. Professional Speaker. Leadership Strategist.
Women are leading in spaces that were never built with them in mind.
From campaigns and public office to construction sites and corporate leadership, women are navigating systems, expectations, and unwritten rules shaped long before they entered the room.
Too often, the challenges that follow are treated as individual problems: be more confident, communicate differently, speak up, fit in, try harder.
Dr. Michelle Morkert helps women see the bigger picture.
A Fulbright Scholar with a PhD in gender studies and more than 20 years studying women’s leadership around the world, Michelle makes the invisible systems shaping leadership, power, and organizational culture visible.
Through speaking, leadership training, and strategic advising, she helps women understand the room they are leading in, navigate it strategically, and lead effectively on their own terms.
Strategic Advising
Michelle works individually with women leading in high-stakes and traditionally male-dominated environments.
Drawing on more than two decades of scholarship in gender and women’s leadership, global experience, and professional coaching training, Michelle serves as a strategic thought partner for women navigating leadership, communication, power, career decisions, and organizational culture.
Strategic advising is particularly suited to women in political and public leadership, business, and male-dominated industries.
