Michelle Kelley stated, "The importance of women finding and claiming their voice and being empowered in the workplace is gaining critical acclaim. Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook, has recently releasing her new book, Lean In, to guide women through a collective self-awareness exercise and provide how-to insight on breaking the glass ceiling."

Kelley continued, "Ann Curry interviewed Ivanka Trump of the Trump Organization and psychologist Jennifer Hartstein on the Today Show on February 23rd about why women are particularly susceptible to clamming up in group settings and how that translates to a significant career disadvantage."

On the personal side, Kelley shared, "Women who do not claim their voice and are not empowered stay in toxic relationships longer than men. These relationships can be as bad for your health as junk food and toxic environments. They can have lasting emotional, psychological, and physical effects. My goal is to teach women how to change a troubled relationship and be empowered so they can enjoy healthy, fulfilling personal and professional relationships."
