Beyond The Lone Wolf Mindset: Crafting a Personal Advisory Board


As entrepreneurs, we know the power of having the right people on our team. We need people who will mentor us, support us, challenge us, and celebrate us along the journey of life and business. We know we need these people on our team, yet we still try to do it alone. For years, Michelle tried to walk the path of entrepreneurship and leadership by herself. Once she allowed people to show up for her, Michelle finally realized that she is stronger when in community.


In this presentation, Michelle will share how to create a powerful “advisory board” for your personal and professional life, with roles like The Mentor, The Accountability Buddy, The Connector, and The Contrarian.

No One Achieves Success Alone
Your capacity for growth and success is directly shaped by the people whose opinions you allow to influence your decisions. Creating an intentional advisory board with diverse perspectives is the key to helping you stay focused and aligned with your vision.

Choose People Who YOU Need to Achieve YOUR Vision
This is a strong reminder to focus on your goals and your vision, and not get distracted by what someone else is doing. 

Know When To Evolve
By identifying your specific gaps, as well as understanding where you already shine in strength and experience, you can seek out people whose expertise aligns with your future direction. As you continue to level up, so will your board.
