SmartWoman Exclusive Interview: Michelle Yozzo Drake of LipstickLeadership.com
You are going to LOVE this interview, loyal readers. I enjoyed conducting it and was moved by Michelle’s story. Be prepared to hear some heartbreak mixed in with victories as Michelle takes us from her earliest beginnings organizing ski trips for money at 12 years old to the vicious attack that changed the course of her life. She used her personal strength to get on the other side of her experience where she shares her skill inspiring others to design the life they desire.

Michelle’s latest book, From the Kitchen to the Corner Office: Mom’s Wisdom on Leadership
Here’s a video where she talks about her book so you can learn more about it:
Here’s how to get involved: Go to Michelle’s website and read about Lipstick Leadership week. There is still time to tell your story of how your mother’s advice or example helps you in your work. Whether you work in a cubicle or a spare bedroom converted to your office, you have a story to share and Michelle wants to hear them all. The official dates are July 14th through July 18th but you can go now and start posting.
Michelle shared with me that this latest book is just one in a series and she intends to take the best kitchen table wisdom stories and feature them in other book releases. It could be a fantastic and powerful way for your business to get exposure.
When you share your story, be sure to include your link to your website so you can get visitors from Michelle’s site who read your story and want to get to know you. What better way to get to meet like-minded women, support each other, and promote your business all at the same time, right? I’m posting a story, that’s for sure!
Enjoy the interview and enjoy Michelle’s video. And, go buy her book. You’ll love it.
Together, we are stronger.

I want to thank you the chance to say something special about our mom’s I lost my mom about a year and a half ago but her spirit is still there guiding me. She was from the south and always had a great saying for just about anything that was going on. One that has always served me well. Taste your words before they leave your mouth. In this world I think that these are very wise words. Not that you ever should let anyone walk on you but, think and in most cases taste your words before you respond. Very offen we can make things worse. We always have more than one way to handle each event that arises.
