Hi, I'm
Michelle Redfern

I am fearless in pursuit of what sets my soul on fire; Closing the global leadership gender gap and enabling women to have a life and career that soars.


I'm the founder of Advancing Women in Business and Sport, co-founder of the Lead to Soar Network, Podcast and Summits, and host of the Advancing Women in Sport podcast.  

My dream is for my son and daughter, my nieces and nephews to inhabit a world:
·     Where women and girls are valued, respected and equal.
·     Where men and boys can rid themselves of the shackles of toxic masculinity; and,
·     Where every human, no matter how they identify, can reach their full potential.

I am an unapologetic, passionate feminist and inclusionist, who, because of my white skin and education has enormous privilege and influence. I am determined to harness my privilege, my passion for women’s rights, my business acumen, and my networks to have a positive global impact on society.

Some fun facts about me

One.
I used to have my own cake-making and decorating side hustle in the 1990s before it was called a side hustle.

Two..
I always take my coffee machine when I travel – because life is too short for bad coffee.

Three...
I achieved my '15 minutes of fame' the night I was born. There was a power outage across Perth, so i was born by candlelight (my poor first-time parents!) and was the on the front page of the newspaper.
