Expert Profile: Michele Dortch

Expertise:  Attention Working Moms! I answer questions on how you can manage your time more effectively, design work that fits your life, and reduce the stress and frustration that comes from juggling multiple priorities. I also answer questions on how companies can engage and retain working mothers who may normally choose to "opt out" of highly-skilled careers to find work/life balance.

Experience in the area
I am a work/life effectiveness consultant and trainer with over 11 years of experience in Leadership, Organizational Behavior and Personal Effectiveness. As the CEO/Founder of The Integrated Mother®, I help fulfill the company’s mission to develop opportunities for women to thrive and succeed as leaders, parents and high-impact individuals. I also serve on the faculty for Rio Salado College and Grand Canyon University where I instruct courses in entrepreneurship, organizational behavior and English. And most important...I'm a working mother with three children ages 7, 5 and 2-1/2.

Education/Credentials
I hold a bachelor degree in English, a master's degree in Organization Development and post-graduate certificates in management, entrepreneurship and coaching. I am also certified to deliver leading management programs, including FranklinCovey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" workshop.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  There are more than 59 million mothers in the workforce today, which represents an astounding 74% of all mothers in the U.S.!
What do you like about this subject?  I know the importance of raising the next generation of leaders (our kids) AND experiencing a personally fulfilling life. I love seeing working mothers creatively do both!
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  The "mommy wars" is a media ploy and it's pretty annoying that moms are pawned to create "news."
