We started helping women lead authentically and thrive in 2017, from a small office and a big vision...
Leadership isn’t just about titles—it’s about empowering women to lead with purpose, clarity, and energy. Through years of corporate experience and personal transformation, we realized that the most effective leadership is rooted in authenticity and well-being. That’s why we created Lance Linder—to help women reclaim their leadership power without sacrificing their health or happiness.
We believe leadership should align with your true self and support your well-being.
Our mission is to create a space where women can thrive in both their careers and personal lives. With our approach, we guide women to avoid burnout, manage stress, and lead with confidence. We’re here to make sure that your leadership journey feels as good as it looks, helping you succeed without compromising what matters most.

It’s about more than just checking boxes—it’s about truly leading from a place of strength, energy, and balance. Together, we’ll help you break free from the overwhelming pressure of “doing it all” and instead lead with intention, energy, and joy.
We’re committed to showing you how to lead authentically, with clarity and purpose, while avoiding burnout.
We know what it feels like to juggle a career, personal life, and everything in between—especially as a woman in leadership. But the truth is, leadership shouldn’t feel like a constant hustle. It’s about working smarter, not harder. At Lance Linder, we help you create a path where your success and well-being align, so you can thrive in both your professional and personal life without the sacrifice.
Now, we’re here to help you reclaim your time while growing the leadership you’ve always dreamed of.
Michele started as a bartender but quickly rose through the corporate ranks. Over 26 years, she built high-performing teams and created employee retention programs, becoming an executive leader at a Fortune 10 company.
Michele's Journey from Bartender to Executive Leadership
After facing burnout and health struggles, Jeanette “retired” in 2021 to focus on her health. She developed the Metabolic Communication Method—a holistic approach to wellness that transformed her life and helped other women do the same.
Dr. Jeanette’s Shift to Wellness and the Metabolic Comeback
Michele and Dr. Jeanette launched career strategy and functional medicine businesses, proving their concepts worked. In 2025, they finally launched RISE & Be WELL to escort women up the leadership ladder while fostering healthy bodies, minds and relationships. It's cheaper to Inspire than re-hire!
The Birth of Lance Linder and the RISE & Be WELL Program
Michele and Jeanette are continuing to grow Lance Linder, empowering women leaders with tools to lead authentically and sustainably. They are changing the narrative on leadership by showing that success doesn’t have to come at the expense of well-being.
