Michelle Myers

Michelle Myers is a Client Manager specializing in Employee Benefits Consulting for large and jumbo, highly complex employee groups at Gallagher, based in Brentwood, Tennessee. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership and maintains multiple industry licensures, including Property & Casualty Insurance, Accident, Health, Life Insurance, and a Voluntary Benefits Specialist Designation from the Hartford School of Insurance.

Michelle’s work is grounded in continuous learning and strategic thinking, with a deep commitment to delivering solutions that not only support organizational goals but also promote meaningful improvements in employee wellbeing.

Before transitioning into employee benefits, Michelle built an extensive career in healthcare. She worked night shifts in emergency rooms, managed surgical scheduling, trained employees, and collaborated closely with surgical centers—gaining firsthand experience on the medical side of health insurance. Encouraged by her daughter’s insight and belief in her potential, Michelle made the courageous decision to enter the employee benefits industry, rebuilding both her personal life and career from the ground up.

Since joining Gallagher in 2022, Michelle has been part of a team supporting the firm’s largest client. Her role includes client support, project management, and strategic planning, all with a focus on improving outcomes for employees. Her dedication, collaboration, and service-oriented mindset earned her Gallagher’s Mike Davis Helping Hand Award, a peer- and management-voted recognition highlighting her commitment to supporting others.

Guided by her personal motto—“Encourage one another and build each other up”—Michelle strives to create trust-driven partnerships while fostering a culture of growth, learning, and excellence in everything she does.

Michelle’s professional success is deeply informed by her personal journey. After facing significant childhood adversity and later finding the courage to leave 16 years of physical, emotional, mental, and financial abuse, she rebuilt her life with the support of her children and close family. She walked away from everything she knew in search of a life she wasn’t certain yet existed—and created one that is safe, healthy, and fulfilling. Today, she is happily married to a supportive and understanding husband and cherishes quality time with her daughters, sons-in-laws, and grandson. She considers herself the healthiest and happiest she has ever been.

Throughout her journey, Michelle sought mentorship, remained humble, and never lost sight of where she started or how far she has come. She is deeply grateful to work in a collaborative, low-ego environment that values both professional excellence and a healthy family life.

Recently, Michelle has begun sharing her story to advocate for others who need support. When asked, “How did you finally leave for good?” her answer is simple and powerful:

“Don’t be afraid of change. Trust your value. Keep working relentlessly for the life you deserve. Find your purpose—and if you can’t find one, create it. You can always evolve it later. When it’s hard to see your own worth, do good for others. Lifting others toward success has a way of lifting you too.”

Michelle believes courage, strength, and determination aren’t discovered all at once—they’re built every time you choose to show up, take the next step, and continue leveling up your life.
