Meet

Michelle Cornelison is a true powerhouse in the property management industry, with 2025 marking her 31st year. Like many in this industry, she had no plans to be in property management. Ask her how her love for horses led her to the beginning of what has been an incredible journey and career.

At the heart and start of it all, was her time spent on site, leasing homes, managing teams. Be it Class A luxury or Class C, affordable or conventional, there are few property types she’s not personally managed. Her early experience came from managing tough assets with complex affordable housing programs, including LIHTC, HUD and RD.   

Michelle’s property management acumen goes on to include 6 years traveling the country, following construction trailers and achieving aggressive lease-up deadlines. The past 20, in key corporate leadership roles where she has been dubbed ‘the heart” and “the company cheerleader” for her role in shaping cultures of organizations. 

She has created training divisions for two national property management companies and spent the past 15 years training employees at all levels of the organization, including Directors, Regionals and Leadership.

As soon as you meet, you will feel this energy and passion that Michelle has. It’s contagious! She has an innate talent for connecting with people, connecting us with each other, and, most importantly, inspiring and motivating others to act.

She is the secret sauce you’ve been looking for and that your teams need. 

Let’s face it, today’s workforce and hiring landscape has changed drastically. Sign on bonuses used to be for pro athletes, right? Not anymore. Companies are doing more than ever, and spending more than ever, to attract, recruit, and hire top talent. But then what?  We just hope they stick?  Don’t leave it to chance. 

 Michelle can create for you everything from your own Employee Wellness and Retention Program, a template to start your own company-branded training department, a Mentor and Onboarding Program creating bench strength, or brainstorm customized content to fit your needs specifically.

Ensure your money on recruiting and hiring is well-spent by providing the training, coaching and motivation your team needs to stay engaged and productive!

 When she’s not working, you’ll find Michelle navigating the woods on a horse with her dogs. Here, she refuels her soul and reimagines ways to bring joy and make a meaningful difference to everyone around her.
