Michelle R. Brown
As founder and president of a personal and professional development business, Brown’s mission is to bring out the best in clients. “We help people really realize that dreams don’t have to remain dreams,” she says. “They can become reality.”
Brown, who previously worked for DuPont, started Catalyst Enterprises International in 2006. The business, based in Dover, is truly international; Brown has taken her talents to such countries as Uganda, where she counseled small business owners. Catalyst has arranged hundreds of development programs and seminars for small groups to those up to 400-plus people. Clients include nonprofits, churches, government agencies, colleges and schools. “I help people see things not as they currently are but where they could be,” Brown says.
Making a difference In 2000 Brown launched World Changers Empowerment Center, a nonprofit dedicated to helping young women develop self-esteem, leadership ability and life skills. She is also one of the founding members of the Delaware Youth Leadership Academy, which helps young people become better citizens. This year Brown was one of four community leaders elected to the board of directors of United Way of Delaware.

Dr. Michele Brown is an outstanding young woman with such great vision. It has been a true pleasure in knowing her personally and professionally. Through her coaching and down to earth approach, my life has been tremendously enhanced. There were areas of my life, which had become very stagnated and through her career and life coaching I am breaking down those walls and it is so liberating! I have been so encouraged and challenged to stretch out and grow.
If you need a little kick start in your career or assistance discovering your life’s purpose and vision, sessions with Dr. Michele Brown is the well worth and investment in yourself. I highly recommend her!
