I'm Michell
She the Mighty Founder & CEO
Where to begin...
I opened my first company at 21, and in 5 years scaled it to $25 million + in annual sales, billing over $10 million + in annual commissions, for over a decade.
I recruited, trained and scaled the largest and most successful B2B and B2C sales force in Canadian history.
I've conducted over 50,000 interviews, consulted sales teams and start-ups for 30 + years, helped launch over 300 companies, spoken on stage over 5,000 times, and have heard the word "no" more than almost any other Canadian.
For the past 12 years I've written books, and have been hired to speak and train on Sales and Leadership all over the world.
My true passion is to create solutions for female entrepreneurs, and help them become more successful, faster.
I've launched brands like Confidence Kickstart, and the Fiercely Fearless Females, held events like Owning the Edge, Swagger Sessions, Six in the City and LEAD.
I've run countless facebook groups and seminars, hosted webinars and girl's nights out, built online courses, sales training sessions and mastermind groups...
None of it felt like it was enough.
I Launched She the Mighty
After an epic conversation on the front porch with my mama, in 2017 I launched a free online school for female entrepreneurs.
Still not enough.
Regardless of the resources we provided there were two massive challenges most women battled:
- running out of money while they worked to build their businesses
- having access to a valuable community of mentors they could get ongoing help from
What Could Be Possible?
When the universe forced us all to pause in early 2020, I remember endless conversations with my good friend Kylie.
We spoke about girls and social media, entrepreneurship, women supporting women, the reality of women earning less and being funded less than men, and having to leave their amazing ideas and businesses behind because they could not afford to NOT work for the other guy.

Chief Connector, Right On
IÂ knew from a very young age that I wanted to beat, dance and sing to my own drum, and be my own boss. IÂ am a creative "creator" through and through, and my true passion is performing on a stage.
I’ve performed 100’s of times with jazz big bands, vocal groups, choirs, in musical theatre, and in my various business adventures - speaking, leading workshops and or collaborating on panels.
It’s not the actual stage that brings me joy, but the true synergy with an audience and the cycle of sharing that completely fills my soul cup.Â
I worked in marketing and advertising for many years. It taught me the psychology behind what drives our behaviours and actions.
I knew that working in Corporate wasn’t going to be where I’d stay.
I needed to bring a level of service into my work and life.
I started my own personal styling business. Helping individuals understand the true power behind the optics and illusions of one’s personal style, and how that translates to wellness.Â
For the past 10 years I’ve been involved in various entrepreneurial projects and have had the opportunity to travel extensively with Charitable initiatives close to my heart.
I am an active board member having sat on Charitable, Foundation and University boards and am currently Treasurer for Ghana Medical Help and a Director on Companionlink’s board of Directors.
Talking with Michell in 2020 during the darkest days of the Global Pandemic, it was clear this was finally the time for us to join forces.
The need for change in the female entrepreneurial space was imminent, and with social media being solely responsible for the many issues our youngest population faces, we could no longer be OK being a part of the status quo.Â
Doing nothing meant we were accepting the problem.
