Michelle’s work is shaped by years inside organizations — not just consulting from the outside. She has sat in the staff meetings, navigated messy leadership transitions, held space for hurt teams, and felt the weight of “business as usual” when something deeper was clearly needed.
Over time, she saw a pattern: organizations were sprinting toward deliverables and diversity statements while skipping the hard work of repair. So she began building tools that help people pause, tell the truth, and choose a different way forward.
Today, her work is anchored in the G.R.A.C.E. framework — Grace, Reflection, Accountability, Courage, and Equity — a practical, human-centered approach to equity and conflict that leaders can actually use in real time.
Michelle is not interested in performative DEI work or one-off “feel good” sessions. Her work is about depth, clarity, and sustained change. That means:
Michelle works with:
Michelle’s thinking and practice show up across three core books: Trust the Process, GRACE AT WORK®, and GRACE AT WORK®. These texts are designed to be used in real organizations — in leadership retreats, equity cohorts, book clubs, supervision, and team learning spaces.
Her leadership and culture work is extended through the GRACE AT WORK® Learning Hub, a digital space for leaders who want to move from theory to practice with guided tools, modules, and resources.
In addition to facilitation and long-term consulting, Dr. Majors offers keynotes and featured talks that bring GRACE AT WORK® and organizational healing to larger rooms. Her speaking blends real stories, practical tools, and a grounded honesty that resonates with leaders, staff, and boards alike.
