About Our Founder

Our story starts with our founder Michelle Boundy. With over 30 years of distinguished service in government and more than 15 years as a nationally recognized Subject Matter Expert in Workplace Safety, Wellbeing, and Culture, Michelle has shaped the landscape of workplace wellbeing in Australia. Her expertise and visionary leadership have driven the design and implementation of two groundbreaking Wellbeing Programs across government sectors, earning her multiple Regional, State, and National Awards. Beyond her professional achievements, Michelle is a force for good in the community. In 2020, she was appointed the Integral Community Kindness Champion for the Stay Kind Foundation, where she spearheaded transformative initiatives such as the 50 Walks Project, 50 Hearts Project, and Bathers Way 50. Her impact was formally recognized with a special mention in the NSW Parliament in 2022. That same year, Michelle developed and led The Elephant in the Room. This powerful community initiative raised over $26,000 for Lifeline, bringing National attention to the urgent need for mental health services in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In March 2023, Michelle founded She Inspires Me, a movement dedicated to celebrating women’s achievements and empowering them to share their journeys through the Tell Your Story initiative. Since its launch, Michelle has amplified the voices of hundreds of women, inspiring thousands globally and making She Inspires Me one of Australia’s fastest growing and most cherished movements. Building on this momentum, Michelle launched the podcast She Has the Courage to Lead in September 2023, featuring in-depth conversations with some of Australia’s most influential women. Her unwavering commitment to workplace equity led to the creation of Women at Work in 2024, an initiative designed to educate, empower, and elevate women in professional environments. This groundbreaking work has cemented Michelle’s reputation as a LinkedIn Top Voice in Workplace Safety, with over 23,000 followers, and positioned her as a sought-after thought leader and speaker advocating for kinder, safer, and more inclusive workplaces. Michelle’s relentless dedication to advocacy, leadership, and transformation continues to inspire a national movement—one that empowers women, champions workplace equity, and fosters a culture of courage, kindness, and change.
