ABOUT MICHELE RICHMAN
I transform leaders through authentic connection, helping legal professionals and organizational teams navigate change, strengthen their leadership, and build cultures where people thrive.As Chief People Officer and Lead Coach at Lawline, I design and facilitate leadership development programs both internally for our team and externally for law firms and legal organizations. I provide one-on-one coaching to managers, speak regularly at conferences like NALP and bar associations, and lead empowerment programs that turn leadership theory into practical, human-centered action.My work draws on the Frame of Mind coaching methodology, 15+ years in organizational development, and my earlier career as a government prosecutor and personal injury attorney. That legal background informs everything I do, it taught me advocacy, the power of storytelling, and what it means to lead with both strength and compassion.I speak on leadership development, organizational culture, coaching skills for HR professionals, and the transformative power of storytelling. My memoir-in-essays,\"The Stories We Almost Don\'t Tell: Finding the Courage to Tell Yours,\" launches in April 2026.Through Part Deux Coaching, I work with women navigating significant personal and professional transitions, helping them find clarity and courage for their next chapter.Let\'s connect if you\'re looking to strengthen leadership programs at your firm, bring coaching skills to your PD team, or explore one-on-one coaching for yourself or your organization.
