Michelle Fraser: Climbing to the Next Level

Michelle Fraser: Climbing to the Next Level

Author: Veronica Malolos, CCIM July 26, 2024 Duration: 15:35

In this week’s episode of Women Influencers, I spoke with Michelle Fraser, an engineering expert and consultant in the oil and gas industry, with over 25 years of experience working with global organizations in the UK and overseas. She is also the host of the Energy Sector Heroes podcast.

We discussed how she was encouraged throughout her school years to pursue a career in typical female roles and to avoid male dominated fields. However, Michelle knew what she wanted. She got her first job as a technician and then never looked back. Her source of inspiration was her parents, who taught her how to work hard, be authentic, and set boundaries.


Michelle shared how a big challenge she has had to overcome is believing in herself.  We thought that is probably more common than people care to admit.


Michelle then shared a some great advice:

Hosted by Veronica Malolos, CCIM-Founder and CEO of Capital Stack Real Estate Group-the Women Influencers podcast moves beyond surface-level success stories to explore the nuanced realities of leadership, ambition, and personal philosophy. Each conversation delves into the practical strategies and formative experiences of women who have shaped their fields, with a particular lens on business and commercial real estate. These are not just interviews; they are deep dives into the decisions, setbacks, and pivotal moments that define a career. Veronica’s background as an operator in the Greater Orlando market informs a grounded, insightful dialogue that resonates whether you’re building a company, navigating a corporate ladder, or redefining your own path. The discussions naturally span categories from concrete business tactics to broader cultural and societal themes, reflecting the multifaceted lives these influencers lead. This podcast serves as a resource for anyone seeking authentic perspective, emphasizing that influence is cultivated through resilience and insight as much as through achievement. Listen for candid reflections on balancing ambition with life’s other demands, the philosophical underpinnings of a leadership style, and the often-unspoken challenges of carving out space in competitive industries.
