hey there!
I’m Michelle Starr
I'm a Speaker, Author, and Transformational Coach, who helps Chief Functional Officers and their teams build cohesive work environments and increase productivity by showing inclusivity in their companies for women of all color.
I've been a guest speaker at the TEDxCherryCreek and TEDxPrincetonCitySchools events talking about inclusion and how managing our bias can restore our energy. I've worked with some of the most brilliant minds in the Consumer Goods and Aerospace industry.
I've also helped many women advocate for themselves in the workplace—and now I'm focusing my work on inclusion.
My book “Be Brown Brave (Guide to Supporting Women of ALL Color in the Workplace)” discusses the importance of diversity and inclusion for companies. It shows how senior leaders can overcome unconscious bias and work with female employees of color to create a stable and diverse workforce, elevate their company's performance, AND build better communities!
I would like to see the statistics on senior-level positions held in America to report Women of Color hold 20% of them by 2033. I am committed to speaking on this daily to as many as possible. This mission will impact Women of All Colors, her coworkers, and business leaders to where they no longer have to monitor and measure their actions to purposely manage this. We all will become conscious enough to become unconsciously unbiased. When we achieve this at work, we can transfer this learning into our personal lives.
I live in Cincinnati, Ohio, with my husband of twenty-five years and a young adult son. I love spending time with family and reading genres on well-being, mystery, romance, and classics.
