It\u2019s about doing something you love and putting yourself at the centre.\u201d<br \/>\nTwo years ago at a January meeting, Michelle planned to run a 5k race.<br \/>\nWhen it came to standing up in front of the group and telling them she sub-consciously announced she was going to run the Cardiff half marathon instead. Later that year with the support of the group she did.<br \/>\n\u201cIt just demonstrates how powerful and supportive the group really is.\u201d<br \/>\nFor the rest of 2014 Michelle&#8217;s goals include growing the group\u2019s numbers and supporting and developing the three Damsels in Success groups in Wales.<br \/>\nThe Cardiff group\u2019s next meeting, titled Lets Get Visible, will be held on March 3 at the Maldron Hotel, St Mary Street.<br \/>\nTo find out more about Damsels in Success visit the website www.damselsinsuccess.co.uk\/cardiff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After dedicating time to building her own career success, Dr Michelle Clarke now helps other women build theirs.
