Managing the Momentum in Risk Management with Lawanda "Elle Michell" Hall

Season 2 is here, and this episode sets the tone.

Elle is on a mission: making sure Black and Brown students know that GRC is a real career path, not just a concept.

Elle breaks down what risk management actually is, "managing the momentum of the moment", and makes the case that it's a niche discipline that touches every industry on the planet. From Southern University's groundbreaking Risk Management Insurance (RMI) program to the boomer talent exodus, to why coaching is the missing piece for new professionals entering the field, this conversation goes deep.

Share this with a student, a career changer, or a colleague ready to make a move.
