Meet Michelle Hord

Michelle Hord is a certified leadership coach and strategic consultant whose expertise is successfully guiding people and organizations to thrive through change. Backed by thirty years of experience as a TV producer and HR executive for Fortune 100 companies, Michelle partners with individuals and companies to build their resilience and creativity, guiding clients through change today to help them confidently face change in the future.

Additionally, Michelle’s personal and professional experience with traumatic loss was the subject of her book, the Other Side of Yet. She has spoken to international audiences about her unique personal and professional journey, discussed it on national shows like Good Morning America and MSNBC, and contributed to publications such as Oprah Daily.

She is also the founder of Gabrielle’s Wings, a nonprofit organization providing children of color in underserved communities with opportunities to reach their unlimited potential.

I could not be more inspired by Michelles’ resilience in the face of such imaginable loss. By bravely sharing what she learned through tragedy, Michelle will help so many other find strength and rediscover joy.

Her story will change your life, and her message will forever change you !

See Michelle In Action

Michelle's heart-wrenching story and soulful writing offers inspiration and a road map to help us get to the other side. Tragedy is the worst part of living that few people survive. [She] offers us hope, resilience and joy.

I invited Michelle to facilitate a workshop on healing for our Circle of Mothers. She offers honesty and vulnerability that really resonated with the moms and the exercises helped everyone connect and bond as fellow mothers of murdered children.
