  • The Power of Reinvention: How Vision Redefined a CEO’s Purpose with Michelle Bockman, CEO, KeraLink International

    The Power of Reinvention: How Vision Redefined a CEO’s Purpose with Michelle Bockman, CEO, KeraLink International
    2025/10/15
    Reinvention often begins with a single moment that changes how we see our lives and the impact we want to make. Michelle Bockman, CEO of KeraLink International, shares her story and it reminds us what can happen when vision and purpose align.Michelle’s story is one of true reinvention. After building a remarkable corporate career across Fortune 100 companies and Silicon Valley startups, she found herself at a crossroads. Around that same time, life threw her an unexpected curveball, she lost the central vision in her right eye due to a rare condition. During her treatment, doctors also discovered cancer in her other eye.What happened next changed everything. While Michelle regained her full 20/20 vision after treatment at Johns Hopkins, the experience opened her eyes (literally and figuratively) to a new calling, leading KeraLink International, a nonprofit focused on ending preventable blindness around the world.Michelle has completely reimagined what a modern nonprofit can be. She’s built an ecosystem that includes:Community Programs that bring eye screenings and care to underserved areas.KeraX Venture Studio, developing affordable eye-care technologies that can be used anywhere in the world.KeraLink.com, an eyewear brand where 100% of the profits go right back into funding care.One of my favorite parts of our conversation was hearing how they’re training women health workers in India who go door-to-door to help families get care. These women are finding new confidence, independence, and purpose creating ripple effects that go far beyond vision care.“When vision meets purpose, everything becomes clear.” — Michelle BockmanMichelle’s story is a powerful reminder that reinvention is about embracing unexpected opportunities and being open to possibilities.Action Step: Take a quiet moment this week to ask yourself: What part of my story is ready to be seen in a new light? Sometimes clarity begins when we give ourselves permission to look again.About Michelle Bockman:Michelle Bockman is President & CEO of KeraLink International, a nonprofit focused on reducing corneal blindness globally by expanding eye care accessibility. With 25+ years of leadership at Fortune 100s and Silicon Valley startups, she brings strategic vision and a passion for innovation to her mission-driven role.Find out more:https://www.linkedin.com/in/michellebockman/https://keralink.orgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/keralink-international/YouTube: @KeraLinkInternationalInstagram: @keralink_internationalFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/KeraLinkIntlKeep shining your light bright.

  • Why Curiosity and AI Are the Keys to What’s Next with Natalie Benamou, Founder, HerCsuite®

    Why Curiosity and AI Are the Keys to What’s Next with Natalie Benamou, Founder, HerCsuite®
    2025/10/08
    Are you feeling under pressure and that there isn’t much you can control? You’re not alone. I’ve been there too and what I’ve learned is that the one thing we can control is how we learn and what we do with it.As the hardcover of Power of What’s NEXT: Bold Moves By Design releases October 14th, I’ve been thinking a lot about crossroads moments ... those times when we pause and realize something needs to change. Writing my chapter made me reflect on how curiosity has been the constant through every pivot I’ve made, from launching HerCsuite® to creating HER HEALTHX, nonprofit focused on improving women’s health outcomes using Agentic AI.Back in 2019, after facing my own experience with symptom dismissal, I planned to start a women’s health company. But timing, career, and the pandemic all had different ideas. HerCsuite® took off, and I followed that path until I found myself trying to balance two worlds: leadership and healthcare. For a while, they felt separate. But when I started learning everything I could about AI, it became clear that these two worlds could come together.AI became the bridge, a way to bring together leadership, technology, and women’s health with purpose. Once I found this new combined “why,” everything shifted.I believe women need to be in the driver’s seat of AI, not just using it, but shaping it. By 2030, when the greatest wealth transfer in history happens for women, we must be more than fluent in how technology works so we can lead with confidence and multiply our impact. It is this discovery, that helped me pivot into a new blend of leadership and healthcare using AI.In this episode, I share three ways you can use AI right now to gain clarity about your next chapter: 1️⃣ Discover more about yourself with Human Design I did, and it changed everything with Michelle Pecak, Founder of MY VIBE 2️⃣ Create your own AI Board of Advisors to guide your thinking and strategy. 3️⃣ Become a curious learner because as "adaptability is the new currency"-Karin Kimbrough. Curious learners land board roles, and grow businesses and make transformation possible.In times of uncertainty, curiosity can bring clarity. It reminds us that learning and applying what we learn is something we can control.Once I realized that I could combine AI with what I love helping women lead, and thrive with bridging the care communication gap, everything felt lighter. I believe the future will be brighter when women are shaping it: improving health outcomes, influencing boardrooms, and driving the wealth and knowledge transfer ahead.We are at a crossroads moment and we can navigate it together. 📖 Power of What's NEXT: Bold Moves By Design Releases October 14th, 2025.✨ Keep Shining Your Light Bright.

  • Why Growing Your Network Prepares You for the Unexpected with Liesl Schmidt, COO and Board Director

    Why Growing Your Network Prepares You for the Unexpected with Liesl Schmidt, COO and Board Director
    2025/10/01

    What happens when life takes a turn you didn’t see coming? In this episode of Women Leaders on the Move, host Natalie Benamou talks with COO and Board Director Liesl Schmidt about the lessons in her chapter from Power of What’s NEXT: Bold Moves By Design.

    We explore why it’s never too early to grow your network, how to ask for what you want, and the power of saying yes to new chapters even before you feel ready.

    Liesl’s journey is a reminder that the choices you make today, building relationships, finding your voice, and staying resilient becomes the foundation you’ll need when the unexpected happens.

    “You don’t always see the challenges coming, but you can prepare by building relationships that will carry you through.”-Liesl Schmidt

    5 Lessons:

    • Why investing in your network now is the best way to prepare for what’s ahead.
    • The courage it takes to ask for what you want and position yourself to receive it.
    • How resilience and clarity help you navigate career and life transitions.
    • The importance of embracing new chapters, even before you feel fully ready.
    • Why your story and lived experience open doors to unexpected opportunities.


    Liesl reminds us that preparation isn’t just about skills or strategy, it’s about people, perspective, and persistence.


    Power Tip: “Sometimes you have to step forward without all the answers, because clarity often comes in the doing.”- Liesl Schmidt

    This conversation will inspire you to embrace resilience, strengthen your connections, and step boldly into what’s next knowing you already have more within you than you realize.

  • Confidence + Experience: Your Profit Powerhouse Formula with Wendi O. Brown, Lieutenant Colonel (retired), Bestselling Author

    Confidence + Experience: Your Profit Powerhouse Formula with Wendi O. Brown, Lieutenant Colonel (retired), Bestselling Author
    2025/09/24

    What if the next season of your life is the one where everything comes together—your experience, your confidence, and your legacy?

    I had such a heartfelt conversation with Wendi Brown about her chapter You Are a Profit Powerhouse in Power of What’s NEXT: Bold Moves By Design. Wendi’s words have stayed with me, especially when she said, “Your legacy is your leverage. Use it.” She also shared a reminder that made me pause—“Confidence without experience is a liability.”

    What I love about Wendi is how she sees women over 50 as having an incredible advantage. Instead of slowing down, this is the moment to lean into everything you’ve learned and step forward with boldness.

    Here are just a few things you’ll take away from our conversation:

    ✨ How your legacy can be the strongest foundation for your future.

    ✨ Why confidence and experience together create unstoppable momentum.

    ✨ The real advantage women have in the second half of their careers.


    💡 One action to try: When life feels heavy or uncertain, take Wendi’s advice—give yourself one more day. That one day may be all you need to keep going and see what’s waiting for you next.

    This episode feels like a celebration of wisdom and courage and a reminder that your most powerful chapter may still be ahead.

    Read Wendi's chapter in the new hardcover coming out October 14th! https://tinyurl.com/ye6yfb34
