Michele Lisenbury Christensen founded Working with Power in 2005 with Sara Harvey Yao. 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. In 2010, Sara founded Yao Consulting Group to continue her executive coaching and energy work with a different emphasis, while Michele continues to lead Working with Power and to support the unfoldment of the 12 Elements of Power model in many areas of work and life.
