"Every Woman's success should be an inspiration to another. We're strongest when we cheer each other on." ~ Serena Williams
Our goal at Women Lead Company is simple, we are here to support you through community, coaching, connection, and education.
Our company was created to provide you with the most impactful, simplified, scientific-backed, evidence-based, and integrative approach to achieving more balanced, satisfying, successful, and healthier life.
We believe our work is more important now than ever.
Our time is precious. We need practical and meaningful solutions, and we seek to create lasting changes within our daily life. The more we can implement new learning within our real life and real situations, the greater success we have.
We now have the scientific evidence that offers us massive opportunity to learn, make changes, and create exactly what we desire in life in a way that is sustainable and lasting. We can say goodbye to cliche language and sales tactics that sound good but do not translate to actionable change.
Change is hard. And working at a surface level (mindset) is not enough. If it was that simple everyone would easily achieve all of their goals effortlessly. Change is hard because most of how we navigate our life comes from our subconscious, and our brain's tendency to go back to the familiar. So, this is where we come in!
"If you don't see a clear path for what you want, sometimes you have to make it yourself." ~ Mindy Kaling
Women Lead Company was birthed not because of my educational ambitions and entrepreneurial spirit, but because of my commitment to help others heal, grow, and create a better path for themselves. The single mom with a newborn who is so sleep deprived and scared she feels lost and alone. A woman who has left an abusive relationship and searching for the path that will best support her moving forward. The woman temporarily homeless in her car with her son and her dog not sure how to dig herself out. The entrepreneur who wants to assure her business is growing and sustainable. The woman waking up to how past trauma and depression has shaped her current life choices and determined to create something more beautiful for herself and her loved ones. The woman ready to start her "second act" in her career and be her own boss.
This company exists for all women, and we work with the knowingness and understanding that life can require much more than simple catch phrases, old beliefs, and vague theories. We deserve the very best practices and tools that are not only available but also evidence based.
My career path has been 15 + years of equal parts consulting, counseling and entrepreneurship, with an educational emphasis on neuroscience principles, emotional intelligence work, leadership, resilience, and mindfulness. A few of the phenomenal educators I studied under, trained with, and learned from include Dr. Dan Siegal, Jack Kornfield, Flee Maul, Sharon Salzberg, Janine Moon, David Rock, Elana Rosenbaum, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Alex Howard, and Dr. Kristan Jones.

I'm here to support you, share knowledge with you, and learn and grow along with you.
Respectfully,
Michelle Cross, M.S.
