Ready. Recognized. Considered.
Leadership coaching for successful women ready for what's next.
You've delivered. You've earned your seat. But at the next level, the job changes. It's less about how much you deliver and more about how you think, who sees your work, and who's in your corner.
What I Saw in the Room
For years, I sat in the talent reviews where promotion decisions were made. I saw talented women passed over. Not because they lacked ability, but because they were still leading the way that got them promoted the first time: delivering, fixing, carrying the team, and hoping their results would speak for them.
Ready
Leading at the next level, handling difficult conversations, and building leaders who don't need you in every decision.
Recognized
Being seen as a strategic peer, not just a strong operator.
Considered
Getting clear on what you want next, and positioned for it with the right people in your corner.
Meet Michele
I'm Michele Lance, a leadership coach and former Fortune 20 Director with 20+ years in corporate leadership. I led up to 10 District Managers across as many as six states, guided teams through mergers, acquisitions, and reorganizations, and created a regional development program where 67% of participants were promoted or stepped up their performance. Early in my career, I didn't have a mentor inside my company. Today, I get to be that person for women leaders.

What Clients Say
One of the most profound lessons Michele taught me was to focus on creating impact, rather than simply chasing titles. She helped me understand the importance of maintaining sponsorship within my professional network, as well as refining my communication skills to speak and think like an executive.
She really took the time to understand my professional situation, and the direction she gave was very tailored not only to my goals but also to my leadership style. My confidence has increased and I'm really seeing progress and growth.
