I’m Michele Skogerboe. I design and deliver experiences that challenge how leaders think, behave, and show up for themselves and others. Rather than advising from the sidelines or preaching from the front of the room, I create immersive programs that surface hard truths, disrupt limiting patterns, and help leaders practice courage, care, and accountability in real time. My work draws from psychology, systems thinking, and design—always grounded in evidence but translated for real life. I work with leaders and teams inside complex organizations who are ready to stop performing leadership and start practicing it.
