I’m Michelle Blake.

Wider Change is my business because creating positive change is my passion.

With three decades in nonprofit leadership, I’ve celebrated the successes and joys of changing laws, saving lives, and bringing light and hope to the world.

I’ve also felt the struggles that cause so many of us do-gooders to burn out: the funding struggles, dysfunctional boards, long hours, and the unrelenting need and suffering in our world.

To sustain this work, we need strong organizations run by resilient people.

I can help you achieve that. I will share what I’ve learned through career and life:

• As a Stage 3 cancer survivor.

• As a mindfulness meditation teacher

• As a founder of nonprofits

• As a successful writer of millions of dollars in grants

• And as a passionate change-maker who knows how much the world needs our people and our organizations to be strong, sustainable, and serene enough to thrive.
