S2 Ep18: Belonging, Identity & Leadership in Motion – Michelle Bisset on Building Real Connection

How do you lead with authenticity when everything around you is shifting — including your own identity?

 

In this episode of Change Unfiltered, I speak with Michelle Bisset — founder of We Factor, former corporate leader, and transformative coach — about what it really means to create belonging and navigate change in modern leadership.

Michelle shares how her upbringing in South Africa shaped her values, how she transitioned from corporate life to entrepreneurship, and what she’s learned about trust, identity, and team dynamics along the way.

 

In this conversation, we explore:

• The human side of leadership in uncertain times

• Moving from corporate success to solo entrepreneurship — and back again

• Why building belonging starts with personal clarity

• Overcoming loneliness, imposter thoughts, and the pressure to perform

• What “fluid teaming” really looks like — and why it matters now

 

If you’re navigating change, building something new, or trying to stay grounded as a leader, Michelle’s story offers both practical insight and emotional depth.
