LEADERSHIP ARCHITECT

As a Leadership Architect, I work with organizations in identifying solutions on how they can create a better gender balance within their leadership teams, by supporting its Women Leaders in a more targeted way 

Every organization should ask themselves what steps are being taken to educate key decision makers about the key value Women Leaders can add to their societies? 

It is all about creating the awareness followed by multi-year comitments and actions in order to create the shift which is needed to 
create a corporate culture that sponsors women leaders more.

Every corporate culture has its ‘blind spots’; these are inhibitory factors or barriers that they themselves do not see, but that block women today in their professional growth process.  Factors or barriers that cause women to get stuck and hit that 'glass ceiling'.  

I am happy to guide and support your organization on its journey to inclusive leadership.  I offer support and guidance in what is needed for the full organization to evolve towards more diversity in leadership teams. There is no one size fits all approach, but I will help you to develop a strategy that fits your organization.

YOUR HOST 

I am Frédérique Michiels. I am an ambitious mid-forties. My personal development journey was quite a bumpy road. 

My professional journey at the same time went smouth, ... or so it seamed at times and in some areas.  It all stared when I got promoted into my first leadership role many years ago where I was assigned as an Account Manager and Teamleader at a big American Marketing office.  It was there and then that I discovered the first "stumbling blocks" of being a leader, leading a team and making sure people trusted me. 
From there I grew into more senior roles within many other international companies, like; ... Talent Expert and Project Manager at Abbott Vascular, Talent & Development Manager at Rockwell Automation and EMEA Learning Centre Manager at TE Connectivity.

What happened was ... I often fell! And I learned the hard way by standing up over and over again.  Although it was a painful route sometimes (especially for my ego), this is how I build lots of experience. My route is not much different from many women still today who fill a management position and who may or may not aspire growing to the top.

After more than 20 years of experience in the corporate world, I started to live my dream!
So, more than 5 years ago I started my own company and now I am able to live my biggest passion every day; helping women to grow as human beings as well as excel in leadership.

Therefore, I am honored to bring forth something that I know will change Women's lives ... It May Be Yours!
