Show Notes

In 1983, Michele Synegal  co-founded Management Dynamics, Inc. (MDI) (www.managementdynamicsinc.com). Michele wanted to be in charge of her destiny and realize her full potential. You can only do this, she says, when you work for yourself. There are no barriers that limit your opportunities, and you don't have to break through glass ceilings. 

She majored in Human Relations and Organizational Behavior in college to fulfill her desire to effect change for people of color within organizations. Being in corporate America, she built her confidence and learned the inner workings of industry and institutionalized isms. She wanted to guide them so they could realize their potential as organizations.

When the Hudson Institute Workforce 2000 Study was published, the focus of businesses shifted from Leadership Development to leading and managing a diverse workforce. Progressive, innovative companies knew they had to change their marketing and service. The priority was to manage the diversity that was unfolding. 

She became an expert in the changing demographics and was cited in several publications projecting the implications of the data on every aspect of business. As a diversity and Inclusion strategist, she conducts cultural audits, designs training solutions and advises diversity councils on their Diversity and Inclusion Framework.

Working for an insurance company, she was not selected to be an underwriter. Michele asked why. The selection chair said Michele would leave when she graduated, and they would not get a return on their investment. Michele told them this was unacceptable. She is qualified, capable and desirous and they could use a little diversity. Darlene Cole called Michele after she heard about her advocating for herself. She wanted Michele to work for her because she has balls, and she is smart!

Rev. Michele is attending "Celebrating Our Soul": A New Thought Conference by People of African Descent to be with her beloved brothers and sisters who can empathize with her journey and experience. She can be encouraging, supportive and share resources with them.
She has pulled back from her involvement with the organization that ordained her. For four years, she chaired the Diversity Commission, and realized that diversity was espoused as a value but not demonstrated. She felt it. She was subject to micro behaviors, exclusions and micro aggressions. Knowing her value and strong self-efficacy, she decided to do what brings her joy. 

She is presenting "Courageous Conversations" at "Celebrating Our Soul".  Communication is so critical to empathy. We have to understand root causes of behavior. When someone is emotionally triggered, the offender may be clueless as to why. When they value the relationship and have the courage, they will ask questions to drill down to the issue. One must own what they evoked and be quick to ask for forgiveness. Listen, learn, go into the situation prayed up, so you move forward with wisdom. When people do this work, the relationship deepens, and a greater intimacy emerges.

Michele was called into ministry to actualize her potential and effect change. She brings her knowledge, skills and abilities to spiritual communities.

Rev. Michele finds service essential because it serves us. When she is in service to a cause that she believes in, she is blessed. If she didn't serve, she would not be living full out and she would not be in integrity with her divine Self if she did not serve.

Her book, "Inspiration in Small Doses" filled with essays to inspire you. Her book: "Widows Speak", unique stories of Black women's healing, wisdom and courage, will be out later in 2022.

Michele is pleased to say that she is a grandmother. There's nothing like it. It's just unco
