Founders

Sara Harvey Yao and Michele Lisenbury Christensen are the founders of Working with Power. They created the 12 Elements of Power to meet their clients’ and their own need for a better way to work. Sara and Michele had separately built successful businesses, but found themselves in the same predicament as so many other accomplished women: The more successful they got, the more stressed they felt.

They integrated all they’d each learned in a combined 20 years of training and coaching leaders and individual contributors to design a sustainable way to get better results with more ease. Their work today is a combination of serving teams and individuals through training, feedback, and consulting, and leading their global team of facilitators.
