COLLABORATIVE SOLUTIONS, INC. is a visionary organization dedicated to the advancement of “human-centric skills training” since the 1990s. We develop programs that augment internal living, which results in the rediscovery of your purpose, commitment, and contribution. Our mission is to create a supportive environment for the reinvention of women and men, where they can release their potential and propel society’s progress.
Michele Risa, CEO and Founder, has been working on a project to create employment for 1 million low-income women in the MENA region- Middle East/North Africa.

Today, she is expanding workshops across college campuses worldwide and seeks to serve 1 million by 2035.

"Every session with Michele is like a self-empowerment session in which I’ve learned to be proactive, vocal, and confident with my opinions. I have had the autonomy to take my role into my own hands.
I learned to push beyond my limits of how I interact with unfamiliar people by being bold, not being scared of rejection, and leading with positive energy.
I have grown immensely in my personal and professional life and am very thankful for working with Michele. She is the kind of mentor I wish everyone would have."
