About the author

Michelle Moore is a fourth-generation Washington, DC native, definitely a rarity in this day and age. She has a well-documented obsession with travel, television, Frappuccinos, and flamingos. All of these, however, come in a distant second to her love of both writing and teaching. Her days are pretty evenly divided between her classroom, where she teaches elementary special education, and huddling over her laptop at the local Starbucks. What few hours left in the day are spent serving the needs of the household menagerie that currently includes cats (one with cerebellar hypoplasia), chinchillas, a bird, and a geriatric guinea pig. Now that she has achieved her goal of becoming a published author, she's ready to start working toward her second lifelong dream… a flat in Paris and a villa on Grenada.

Book Review: Real Wins by Michelle Moore

Michelle Moore’s Real Wins is an inspiring and thought-provoking book that challenges readers to rethink leadership, resilience, and the pursuit of success. Drawing from her own experiences as an award-winning leadership coach and former athlete, Moore delivers a powerful message about breaking barriers, staying true to your values, and creating meaningful change in the world.

What makes Real Wins so compelling is Moore’s honest and relatable storytelling. She doesn’t just talk about success in the traditional sense; she redefines winning as something deeply personal, built on authenticity, courage, and a commitment to helping others. Her insights into navigating challenges—especially as a woman of color in leadership—are both empowering and practical.

One of the book’s standout qualities is its actionable advice. Moore seamlessly blends personal anecdotes with strategies that readers can apply to their own journeys, whether in business, sports, or everyday life. Her passion for inclusion and social impact shines through, making this book more than just a guide to personal success—it’s a call to action for collective change.

I had the pleasure of meeting Michelle Moore and attending one of her keynotes, and I can say with certainty that the woman you read about in Real Wins is the same warrior woman I met in person. Her authenticity, passion, and determination are truly inspiring, and this book is a must-read for anyone looking to create real wins in their own life.
