Welcome To

Thoughtful Thursdays!

Welcome to the Thoughtful Thursdays newsletter! I’m Michelle McKenzie, and I’m glad you’re here!.

I’m an international development professional, entrepreneur, mentor, career coach, and executive coach. I’m dedicated to empowering and changing the world, one insight at a time. This newsletter is one of the avenues through which I accomplish that mission and through my coaching practice, Empowering Insights (EI).

I’ll be sharing insights, ideas, and perspectives tailored to help you advance in your career, seek new opportunities, or make a career switch. From personal development tips to leadership skills and navigating the intricacies of the workplace. 

My goal is simple: to provide you with the tools and guidance you need to overcome obstacles, seize opportunities, and achieve your objectives. By sharing my expertise and experiences, I hope to serve as a valuable companion on your journey of growth and self-discovery.

If you find the content valuable—and I sincerely hope you do—please don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with your friends and colleagues, and encourage them to join our community by subscribing to the newsletter. And if you have any questions or topics you’d like me to explore in future editions, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Here’s to growth, prosperity, and making every Thursday a day of thoughtful reflection and inspired action!

Your colleague in growth and prosperity,

Michelle
