Dafna Michaelson
In 2009 Dafna Michaelson was the JourneyWoman who
traveled to one state per week for 52 weeks interviewing people who were helping
to solve community problems or otherwise working to build community. The stories
of the people she met were chronicled on her website in video and blog and
served to inspire many thousands who followed her weekly travels.
By the end of 2009 Michaelson had visited every state and interviewed over 500
individuals who are making a difference in their communities. The people she met
ranged in age from 14-91, a wide range of religions, races and socio-economic
backgrounds, and all of America.
A seasoned speaker, Michaelson is able to tailor her presentation to inspire any
audience and bring them to the understanding that the power for making America
great rests within each of us.

Keynote Addresses
Journey Stories: How the 50 in 52 Journey began and a
series of stories of American’s making a difference in communities small and
large around America
Leadership: The people interviewed as part of the Journey were ordinary people doing
extraordinary things for others. In this address Michaelson looks at the common
principles of leadership inherent in the people she interviewed. Characteristics that propelled people
who otherwise had never done anything like the community changing work they are
now doing. Characteristics that can
be found in each and every one of us.
Custom: Due to the broad nature of the Journey, Michaelson is able to develop custom
addresses to meet the needs of your organization.
Workshops
Developed to specifically meet the
needs of your conference/meetings. Michaelson has conducted workshops on
leadership, self-empowerment, community building, and idea development. Her
workshops can also be modified for teen audiences.
