You know how to do your job. The challenge is often understanding the dynamics happening around you.

Dr. Michelle Morkert works individually with women leading in male-dominated fields, politics, and public life. Part leadership consulting, part strategic thought partnership, this work gives you a place to make sense of the power dynamics, invisible rules, and institutional pressures shaping what is happening around you and decide how you want to respond.

Drawing on nearly twenty years of research on gender, leadership, and power, Michelle helps women distinguish between an individual leadership challenge and a systemic one. Together, you might work through a difficult organizational dynamic, prepare for a high-stakes conversation, navigate increased visibility or criticism, strengthen your authority, or think strategically about your next move.

The goal is not to fix you. It is to help you see the terrain more clearly so you can make informed decisions about how you want to lead within it.

Michelle works with women across corporate, nonprofit, political, and public leadership. Engagements are tailored to the leader and the situation, whether you need focused support around a particular challenge or an ongoing strategic advisor as your leadership grows.
