Coach L talks about the power of connection with Vanessa J. Simmons of U4RIA

  The villain in the book is isolation, not only in my book, Yes Please! 7 Ways to Say I’m Entitled to the C-Suite, but in your narrative and mine too. It not only keeps us in fear, but it slows us down. Recently, I joined actress and founder Vanessa J. Simmons for a conversation about how to grab on to happiness so that we can live fuller…

🎥 Behind the scenes with Coach L. 🌟

I spent part of my morning in production in-studio today. I spend approximately 30% of my time each week in production. About 95% is in my own little office studio. Today, I ventured out to the studio where my latest audiobook for Yes Please! 📗 was produced. (Shout out to the talented James Kline!) However, the goal is the same no matter where I shoot: churn content that…

Coach L Michelle Made History at TCU at 19 Years Old

It is officially Women’s History Month. However, on the last day of Black History Month my university, Texas Christian University, honored me as a significant history maker in the school’s narrative. I was 19 when I made history at TCU the first time (there were a couple other firsts), and I didn’t know it. I was just doing what I knew to be right. However, no one had…

Rebuke the hustle. It’s a trick.

Interesting interaction with a major manufacturer in aerospace as they were inquiring about a speaking engagement. They were shocked when I appeared on the Zoom because they expected to interface with “my people.” They were so excited and told me, “wow… you’re just… real.” I shared with them that it isn’t my intention to simply speak and get paid for it, but it was important to me to…

Coach L Michelle Talks Relationships Based on Excellence with Deneen Garrett

It’s always a blessing to share my message with leaders, but when that leader is a friend and former colleague it is extra special. This episode of 💎Deneen L. Garrett, M.S.💎 ‘s podcast is called Relationships Based on Excellence, and while that describes how we know each other, it also answers a very insightful question that she asked me about how I consistently wind up in rooms with…

Black Girls in Cyber

Excited to speak to the Board Members of @blackgirlsincyber this evening. The ladies received a special delivery to their doorsteps a few weeks back which included my book No Thanks: 7 Ways to Say I’ll Just Include Myself, The Remix. It arrived in time for our conversation about Knowing Your Value tonight. Knowing one’s value is so crucial for women in tech, but especially for Black women in…

How should corporations recognize Juneteenth?

I’m so glad that the Black leaders at Audible raised this insightful question. I had an awesome time speaking to BEN@audible this afternoon. I shared a bit about my background as a Black Texan and my experience with the holiday before it became nationally recognized, and it may surprise you that my family never celebrated, but we definitely acknowledged it. Perhaps it had more to do with my family’s…

Who is ready to SLAY their leadership goals?

  I’ll talk about my new journal, SLAY EVERYDAY 52 Weeks to Rockstar leadership with Cleo Green on @wfaa Daybreak Sunday morning. Wake up early with me if you are in the DFW metro area. I’ll be live in the 8 a.m. hour. That’s Central Time! #IAMUP #SlayEveryDay #author #executivecoach #speaker

    Women leaders, especially my women of color… are you pouring out without replenishing? You carry a heavy load. A stark reminder to lean in to your friends, family and therapist and be vulnerable when it counts most. We can’t get this history making, boundary breaker Cheslie Kryst back, but we can be smart about these big-octane, exceptional lives we lead. When you are on empty, tell…
