It was a busy meeting this week at The Motorist. Members got together for breakfast and networking followed by updates and shoutouts and a talk by Michelle Mook from Pro- Development.
The theme was be “The Power of Self-Leadership”
Michelle has been on a personal journey of self-leadership over the last 14 years which led her to set up her business, Pro-Development in 2011.

People often talk about leadership being a position. At Pro-Development, we believe leadership is about how we show up every day and that everyone in a business can be a leader. We believe that the art of self-leadership can change lives both personally and professionally and is one of the most powerful steps you can ever take as an individual. Finding a way to both inspire and harness this in your organisation is transformational.
Michelle’s journey is a testament to the power of self-leadership. Her story of overcoming self-limiting beliefs and pursuing her dreams is incredibly inspiring. By sharing her experiences she highlights how self-leadership can lead to personal and professional growth. This journey has been fundamental to the growth of Pro-Development where her and her team of 12 incredible self-leaders support over 200 local businesses and their work with people, teams and nurturing leadership at all levels is changing workplace cultures and empowering individuals to realize their potential.
There is no better place than one where all your team are self-leading. And more than ever, retaining these self-leaders is key to success. She also took a brief look at what great organisations do to retain and engage these incredible people.
The event then concluded with further networking and potential collaborations between local businesses and community organisations.
