We recently had the chance to connect with Michelle Majette and have shared our conversation below.
Michelle, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What is a normal day like for you right now?
At this stage of my journey, a “normal” day is really a blend of structure, soul, and strategy.
Most mornings start early with intentional quiet—sometimes journaling, other times walking with my husband and our two aging pups, Tinkerbelle and Chief. I’ve learned that grounding myself personally is the only way I can show up fully in the work I do.
Once I shift into business mode, my day is a mix of client strategy sessions, executive coaching calls, leading internal team check-ins, and carving out time to write or design programming that centers people and culture. I might go from advising a nonprofit on trauma-informed leadership to mapping out a retreat experience for women navigating career transitions. No two days are the same—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Because AllProfit HR isn’t just a consulting firm—it’s a living, evolving ecosystem. We’re helping organizations reimagine how they treat their people, how they lead, and how they define profit. That means each day is an opportunity to listen deeply, co-create solutions, and make the workplace more human.
And through it all, I’m learning to honor the whole of who I am—a newlywed, a founder, a coach, a Black woman reclaiming softness and strategy on her own terms.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Michelle Majette (formerly Nicholson), founder of AllProfit HR and a firm believer that the workplace should be a place of purpose, power, and possibility.
With over 20 years of experience in Human Resources and Organizational Development, I’ve seen what happens when people are treated like numbers—and what’s possible when they’re treated like human beings. I started AllProfit HR to flip the script. We’re a Black woman-owned consulting firm that helps organizations go beyond compliance to build cultures of care, equity, and impact.
Our brand is rooted in one powerful belief: when people thrive, businesses thrive. That’s why we offer more than just HR services. From trauma-informed leadership development and executive coaching to Virtual HR departments, retreats, and culture-building strategy—we partner with mission-driven organizations to transform how they show up for their people.
What makes us different? We lead with heart. We bring strategy and soul to the table. We’ve built a firm that’s proudly people-powered and purpose-driven—where transformation is not just possible, but necessary.
Right now, I’m most excited about expanding our Workplace Empowerment program and our nonprofit, Connect to Purpose, which offers pro bono HR and coaching support to small business founders who are often overlooked. I’m also stepping into more speaking and storytelling opportunities—because our work isn’t just about policies or handbooks. It’s about healing the workplace and reminding leaders that there’s another way.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
The part of me that played small to make others comfortable.
For a long time, I shaped myself around other people’s expectations—what leadership should look like, what success should sound like, what it meant to be “professional” in spaces that weren’t built for me. I dimmed my light to fit into rooms I had outgrown, and I mistook shrinking for safety.
That version of me served a purpose—it helped me survive, navigate, achieve. But now, I’m called to live, to lead, and to liberate. And that requires letting go of the smallness, the silence, and the second-guessing.
I’m learning to hold space for my full self. To speak with clarity, to lead with softness, and to walk in my purpose even when I’m afraid. Faith doesn’t mean there’s no fear—it means trusting that the leap is worth it, even when the landing isn’t guaranteed.
What I’ve released is the need for approval. What I’m embracing is alignment.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
You don’t have to disappear to be worthy.
You were never too much. Never too soft. Never too bold. You are enough—not because the world says so, but because God already called you, equipped you, and qualified you. You don’t need permission to take up space. You are the permission.
Humility is not shrinking—it’s knowing exactly who you are and who sent you.
So walk in rooms like your name matters. Because it does. Even if you’re the only one who looks like you. Even if your voice shakes. Even if the path feels lonely. You are not alone, and you are not behind. You’re becoming.
And when it gets hard—because it will—remember your name. Remember who you are. That’s where your power lives.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
I’m committed to the belief that my womb—and my life—will bear fruit in due season.
My fertility journey has been one of the most sacred and stretching experiences of my life. It’s taught me to hold faith even when the path is unclear, to keep preparing for the miracle even when it hasn’t arrived, and to trust that delay is not denial.
My husband and I are walking this road together—sometimes with tears, sometimes with laughter, always with hope. Just like building a business or nurturing a vision, we’re sowing prayers, love, and intention into ground we believe will bloom. We may not know the how or the when, but we trust the promise.
Because what is meant for us will not miss us. Our vision will not tarry. And when our miracle comes, it will be right on time.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What will you regret not doing?
I’ll regret not seeing more of the world with my own eyes.
Not because of the flights or the photos—but because of the freedom. The expansion. The joy of discovering new places, new people, and even new parts of myself. I’ve spent so much of my life working, building, and holding space for others that I sometimes forget I deserve to experience life fully too.
Travel reminds me that rest is not a reward—it’s a right. That I don’t have to earn softness, adventure, or beauty. And yet, I often push it to the bottom of the list, convincing myself there will be time “later.”
But I know now: later is not promised. I want to walk the streets of cities I’ve never seen. To feel sun on my skin in places where no one knows my name. To taste, laugh, explore, breathe—without agenda.
Because when I look back, I won’t regret the emails left unanswered or the meetings rescheduled. I’ll regret not giving myself the chance to live.
