Michele Viner believes in the power of words to change minds, lift up, inspire, and in short, be day or even life-changing. She started A Little Wordy after quitting her job to be at home, supporting her daughter who had recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

It’s an inspiring story of how sometimes, the trials of motherhood can also instigate really good ideas that are helpful beyond the scope of our own families. Yes, we need more women in science and tech – but we also need more women bringing their hearts and souls to ideas like this that can have huge societal impact.

What you’ll learn from Michele:

1. Why she felt like taking a job outside her family business was “stepping outside her comfort zone” but also why she thinks everyone can benefit from both corporate and entrepreneurial work experience
2. Why she believes words have the power to encourage, lift up, and change someone’s day
3. That knowing “why” you’re launching your business will take you farther than just focusing on what you sell
4. How giving back to mental health initiatives through her business is tied to her “why”
