Michelle Thompson

Michelle Thompson focuses on building high-performing teams, executive training and developing next generation leaders across organizations, helping them integrate their company’s mission and vision into strategic plans, leadership development and training programs.

Michelle’s client engagements include vision work, succession management, conflict management training and empowering peak team performance. She enjoys helping clients identify and develop new or improved solutions to manage, measure and prepare for long-term sustainable results.

Prior to joining FMI Michelle spent 12 years consulting in her own practice for both privately held and public Fortune 500 organizations to help create innovative programming to develop new and emerging leaders. This led to the opportunity to work alongside SAP to map the improved organizational design across four departments and value streams for a Middle Eastern manufacturing company. This project culminated with a five-day training in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where Michelle led workshops for 20 executives.

In addition to these experiences, Michelle spent 10 years honing her leadership and project management skills while working in brand management and advertising for Fortune 100 companies in Chicago, Detroit and Denver.
