Bio

Dr. Michele Vaughn is an Entrepreneur, Author, Inspirational Speaker, Leadership Trainer and Coach. She currently serves in dual roles as the Founder & CEO of the Teen & Single Mother Resource Center, Inc. as well as the Founder of Lead 2 Inspire Training Institute with a John C. Maxwell Certification. Her primary mission is to empower others to become enthused about their potential and expand their capacity for greatness!

Much of Dr. Vaughn’s passion in the field of education and human service stems from her own past struggle as a college dropout who was labeled as “just another pregnant teen”. She refused to surrender to the pressures of rejection; suicide and uncertainty by making a decision to complete her education and become a well-equipped role model to her two sons. Today, Dr. Vaughn has earned an Associate of Arts Degree from the College of Lake County, a Bachelor Degree in Psychology from Columbia College of Missouri, a Master of Science Degree in Counseling from Capella University, and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership at Argosy University. Currently Dr. Vaughn travels as a Leadership trainer and speaker as a Certified John C. Maxwell team member working with schools, non-profits and other businesses.

Through her personal struggles and set-backs as a single mother, it is her hope to deliver a powerful message of perseverance, hope and courage to students, educators and the business community across the world!

Its time to lift the "lid" and enlarge your territory! Book Dr. Vaughn Today and she will EXCEED your investment!
