Empowering the next generation of leaders.

Partnering with schools, sports team, universities and student associations to provide career-readiness tools to students.

At Lead, we believe that confidence changes everything.

It’s the difference between staying stuck and stepping forward, between surviving and thriving.

In classrooms, foster homes, and in collaboration with community partners across the state of Michigan, we meet people where they are to provide tools, resources and skill building.

Lead's workshop led by Lisa was truly transformative for me in multiple ways. One of the things that impressed me the most was how she made a conscious effort to create a safe space for us to connect with ourselves and be present at the moment. What stood out to me the most was Lisa's ability to help me identify my personal needs as an individual to become the best version of myself. Her experience and expertise shone through as she provided practical advice and tools that I could apply in my daily life. I was pleasantly surprised by the unexpected insights I gained from her guidance!

I came into the workshop a little bit nervous, but also very excited to learn some new tools about increasing my own self confidence. I learned about strength utilization. I don't have to tackle all areas of bettering myself at once. Most importantly, I learned how to reframe the ways that I verbalized and internalized negative self-doubt. I have noticed a significant change in the way that I display confidence in my workplace and in my relationships with my family, my friends, and my fiance; but most importantly, myself. I would encourage everyone to attend any of the workshops that Lead has. We might think we have all the tools, but knowledge is power and you can better yourself!

I went to Lead’s workshop in attendance with my club, Spartans Empower Body Acceptance (SEBA). To say that it was one of the best things I’ve done is an understatement! Lisa taught us about the five different forms of self-care and had us reflect on what parts we are good at and what parts we are bad at. By doing this, we had to really think about what was going on and how we can improve the areas we may be struggling with. If you are looking to learn more about how to improve yourself, this workshop is for you!
