WHO IS SKYROCKET?
|
For more than 20 years, Michele Stowe has built a career around her passion: leadership development. Through her executive coaching and consulting company, SkyRocket LLC, Michele helps teams, leaders, and organizations create and experience authentic change that empowers them to produce significant and sustainable professional results. Michele, certified by the International Coaching Federation, also is a licensed Hogan Assessment practitioner.
Michele was born in the U.S. and raised in Germany. After earning Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology and German at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania and a Master of Arts degree in Organizational Psychology from Columbia University, she returned to Germany to work for many years. She held executive positions at Fortune 100 companies for almost two decades, in industries ranging from real estate to pharmaceuticals, and, before starting SkyRocket in 2016 served as Chief Operating Officer of Mercy Housing, one of the nation’s largest affordable housing organizations. In that role she managed 140 employees in areas ranging from strategic planning to philanthropy, human resources, information technology, and marketing. |
Her experiences stoked a professional philosophy that caught fire at Mercy Housing. She created a comprehensive talent management program for the organization that structured everything - from onboarding to succession planning - around the organization’s core values.
The fires have burned even higher since Michele founded SkyRocket. As an executive coach and consultant, she has led more than 50 clients through a dynamic and thought-provoking process to achieve their leadership development goals. Michele’s clients value her engaging, insightful and empowering approach. She incorporates research-based approaches that foster creativity and self-discovery, including, occasionally, a comic book coaching tool that she created and that, she proudly notes, Stan Lee has endorsed. In the end, Michele and SkyRocket tap into a client’s resourcefulness to help them unearth potential solutions and find a path forward. She also challenges clients by voicing the tough questions that need to be asked.
Outside of her work, Michele hikes, skis, and coaches a dragon boat team. She and her family live in Denver, Colorado.
