Making a Difference in 2023
Women managers who have broken the glass ceiling in
medium-sized, unconventional organizations have proved
that effective leaders do not fit into a single mold. They
have demonstrated that command-and-control management,
which is commonly practiced by males in large, established
organizations, is not the only method for success.
Because they were pioneers, the early female CEOs
followed many of the "codes of ethics" that were considered
important for success among men. A second wave of
women is now entering top managerial roles, but they are
doing so by drawing on their common experiences as
women rather than adopting male-oriented attitudes and
behaviors.
Today, the subsequent generations management women are
establishing a fresh path to the top by using specific
characteristics of their gender conditioning. They are
looking for and grasping opportunities to demonstrate their
capacity to create results—in a distinctive way—in quickly
growing and expanding enterprises. They are excelling
because of attributes that are commonly regarded as
"feminine" and unsuited for leaders, not in spite of them.
World's Leaders latest edition “World’s Inspiring Women
Leaders Making a Difference in 2023” features female
leaders from a variety of sectors who are thriving in
leadership and leading with best practices and methods to
put their ideas into action.
The cover has Marisa Faircloth. As the Founder and Owner
of Restoration MedSpa, she has carved an illustrious path,
establishing herself as a Master Level Injector and attaining
the prestigious Top 250 Status with Allergan.
With an impressive educational background as a graduate of
Wake Forest University's esteemed Bowman Gray School
of Medicine's Physician Assistant Program, Marisa
possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience. Her
passion for the field is evident in her more than four
decades of dedicated service, spanning medical aesthetics,
plastic surgery, and weight loss.
Marisa Faircloth's unparalleled expertise in the art of
injecting has made her a sought-after authority in the
industry. Her mastery goes beyond mere technical skill; she
possesses a unique artistic vision, seamlessly combining
medical science with an aesthetic eye. Patients from all
walks of life trust her discerning hands to enhance their

10. In the ever-evolving realm of medical
aesthetics, one name stands out as a true
trailblazer – Marisa Faircloth. As the Founder
and Owner of Restoration MedSpa, she has
carved an illustrious path, establishing herself
as a Master Level Injector and attaining the
prestigious Top 250 Status with Allergan.
With an impressive educational background as a
graduate of Wake Forest University's esteemed
Bowman Gray School of Medicine's Physician
Assistant Program, Marisa possesses a wealth
of knowledge and experience. Her passion for
the field is evident in her more than four
decades of dedicated service, spanning medical
aesthetics, plastic surgery, and weight loss.
Marisa Faircloth's unparalleled expertise in the
art of injecting has made her a sought-after
authority in the industry. Her mastery goes
beyond mere technical skill; she possesses a
unique artistic vision, seamlessly combining
medical science with an aesthetic eye. Patients
from all walks of life trust her discerning hands
to enhance their natural beauty and restore their
confidence.
Experience Luxury and Transformation
Restoration MedSpa offers a comprehensive
range of services in a luxurious concierge
environment, catering to all medical spa needs.
Its extensive offerings encompass various
treatments, including injectables like Botox and
fillers, cutting-edge laser procedures, body
sculpting, sexual wellness treatments, lifting
threads, and aesthetic services. Marisa and her
team at Restoration MedSpa constantly seek out
the latest and most effective non-invasive
procedures, ensuring that they stay at the
forefront of technological advancements in the
field.
Finding Fulfillment
in Balance
Marisa handles a demanding
schedule, treating up to 30
patients daily while
simultaneously overseeing the
spa's management and
marketing. Despite these
responsibilities, she dedicates
significant time outside of work
hours to enhance her business
and fulfills her training duties.
Managing such a balancing act
may seem challenging, but
Marisa successfully maintains
equilibrium, ensuring she also
has quality time for her family,
church, and indulging in her hot
tub. When reflecting on her daily
routine, Marisa finds immense
happiness in treating her
patients and boosting their self-
confidence. She values personal
connections with each individual,
taking the time to discuss their
daily lives, and feels grateful for
their trust in confiding their
personal matters to her.

12. Restoration MedSpa's primary goal is to empower its
clients, boosting their confidence while delivering
exceptional service. The team strives to create an
unforgettable experience with each visit, making clients'
time at Restoration MedSpa truly remarkable. Clients can
expect to receive personalized and top-quality care from the
moment they step into the opulent spa environment.
Restoration MedSpa is dedicated to providing exceptional
service, helping clients feel rejuvenated and revitalized
during their time at the spa.
A Legacy of Expertise and Passion
Marisa embarked on her medical journey in 1982,
specializing in plastic surgery. Over the course of the next
two decades, she gained invaluable experience in various
fields such as plastic surgery, ophthalmology &
occuloplastic surgery, and dermatology & cosmetic surgery.
As the field evolved and introduced injectables and non-
invasive treatments, Marisa recognized the growing
potential in these areas and shifted her focus to lasers and
injectables. With a career almost entirely dedicated to
aesthetics, Marisa developed a strong passion to establish
her own medical spa and focus on injectables and lasers.
In 2015, she took the leap and founded Restoration MedSpa.
Through years of expertise and continuous refinement, Marisa
has honed her skill set to specialize solely in injectables and
PDO threads. To accommodate the diverse needs of her
clientele' wellness & sexual health, Marisa has thoughtfully
assembled a team of skilled professionals who handle laser
treatments, body sculpting, and aesthetics within the spa.
After four decades of unwavering dedication to her craft,
Marisa's reputation has flourished, and her expertise is sought
after. She now sees over 100 injectable patients in a single
week, a testament to the trust and satisfaction her clients place
in her capable hands.
Elevating the Aesthetics Industry
In addition to her successful career at Restoration MedSpa,
Marisa has achieved national recognition as an injectable
trainer for Allergan (now AbbVie), a leading pharmaceutical
company. Her expertise and proficiency in administering
Botox and fillers have earned her the opportunity to train
injectors across the country. Marisa's commitment to sharing
her knowledge extends beyond national training sessions. She
personally offers trainings and even provides virtual training
for injectors and medical spa owners worldwide.
Inspired by her extensive experience and ethical approach as
an aesthetic medical professional, Marisa has authored a book
titled "Empowered by Beauty: A Testament for Unleashing
Self-Confidence." This book not only encompasses her
professional ethics but also delves into her personal journey as
a woman, a mother, and a devoted Christian. Through her
writing, Marisa aims to empower individuals and encourage
the development of self-confidence, embracing beauty from
within.
Building upon her passion for education and training, Marisa
is now embarking on a new endeavor. She plans to open her
own training center, where she will personally teach injectable
and thread techniques. This center will serve as a platform for
aspiring injectors to learn from her wealth of knowledge and
expertise, enabling them to enhance their skills and contribute
to the field of aesthetics.
Empowering Excellence
Marisa, as a respected female leader, has a clear vision for the
future of her company. She is determined to expand both her
existing company and her training center, recognizing the
growing demand for her expertise. To reach a wider audience
and share her knowledge, she has also ventured into the realm
of podcasting, launching an educational podcast.
12 | JULY 2023
14. Fostering Positivity and Empowering Women
Marisa seeks team members who exude positivity and display a cheerful
demeanor. This creates a welcoming environment for staff and patients. She
also values a strong work ethic, with team members who are dedicated,
reliable, and committed to exceptional service. Marisa takes pride in
employing a fully female staff, embracing diversity and creating an inclusive
work environment. These traits enable her team to create a supportive
atmosphere at Restoration MedSpa.
14 | JULY 2023
15. In her pursuit of continuous growth and development, Marisa actively
participates in a medical spa business mastermind group, where industry
leaders come together to exchange ideas and tackle common challenges.
Understanding the unique experiences and obstacles faced by women
business owners, she recently founded her own women-owned business
mastermind group. This group aims to provide a supportive and focused
environment, addressing the specific issues encountered by women in the
business world.
Marisa is deeply committed to spreading her expertise and empowering
others through her training and interactions. She seeks to inspire emerging
leaders, imparting her knowledge and skills to help them succeed in the
industry. While she acknowledges that technology is an area where she
may not possess the same level of expertise, Marisa compensates for this
by having a dedicated team of staff members who assist her in this realm.
With her admirable qualities and dedication to personal and professional
growth, Marisa strives to make a lasting impact on the people she trains
and interacts with, leaving a positive influence on the emerging leaders of
today.
Championing Change
Marisa, as a woman in the aesthetic field, advocates for several changes in
society. Firstly, she believes that society should move away from
stigmatizing individuals who opt for cosmetic services. Just as going to the
gym to improve one's body is widely accepted, she believes that working
to enhance our facial features should not be a source of shame or
judgment. Marisa envisions a world where people can freely pursue
cosmetic treatments without fear of societal scrutiny.
Furthermore, Marisa emphasizes the importance of trusting experts in the
field rather than relying solely on social media for skincare advice. She
encourages individuals to seek guidance from professionals who have
dedicated their careers to understanding what is genuinely beneficial for
their skin.

16. Lastly, Marisa strives to instill self-confidence
in individuals and discourage the notion of
striving to look like everyone else. She
believes that true beauty lies in embracing
one's unique features and cultivating self-
assurance. Marisa's aim is to empower people
to become more confident in themselves,
embracing their individuality rather than
conforming to societal beauty standards.
By advocating for these changes, Marisa
hopes to create a more inclusive and accepting
society that encourages self-improvement,
trusts experts, and celebrates individuality.
From Risk to Reward
Marisa considers the biggest risk she has taken
in her career leaving her previous position to
establish her own practice. Without a concrete
plan, she made the bold decision to open her
own medical spa, a move that turned out to be
the best choice she could have made. As she
trains her staff to excel in the services
provided, Marisa envisions her practice
growing and expanding her company and
training center.
Revolutionizing Skincare
The past decade has witnessed remarkable
advancements in skincare, driven
predominantly by technological innovations.
These advancements have revolutionized the
industry, offering highly effective products
that help individuals achieve their skincare
goals and improve the appearance of aging
skin. Comparing these breakthroughs to
historical practices, such as the use of harmful
substances like arsenic tablets or invasive
procedures like chemical peels under general
anesthesia, highlights the immense progress
that has been made.
Today, skincare products undergo rigorous
testing and scientific validation, particularly
medical-grade options, ensuring that they
deliver on their promises and provide proven
results. These achievements are a testament to
the power of technology and dedicated
research in shaping the future of skincare.

34. ith more than 30 years of
Wexperience in law,
business, education, and
advocacy, Ellie Shefi has dedicated her
life to creating impact through the
empowerment of others. A
multifaceted expert, Ellie is a uniquely
qualified consultant and advisor to
organizations, governments, NGOs, and
individuals. A true leader and
changemaker, let's get to know Ellie
and learn more about her work in the
world.
34 | JULY 2023
36. Tell us more about what you do as a
trusted advisor and strategist to
organizations. What makes your
services unique?
Through my consulting company,
MTC Consulting, I help corporate HR
departments and C-suite executives, as
well as governments and NGOs, to
optimize their operations, mitigate
their risk, modernize their
organizational culture, and strengthen
their bottom line by truly developing
their people to build world-class teams.
I offer assessments, audits, and
strategic plans, plus full
implementation assistance that
includes workshops and training for
HR and executives, as well as ongoing
quarterly assessments and refinements.
My goal is to help organizations build
an inclusive, aligned, and efficient
company with optimized operations.
I am the complete contrast from the
usual (and old-style) consultant types
who look at the bottom line and maybe
pay lip service to “employee
contentedness.” While many of my
competitors have been schooled in
“best business practices,” I've lived
them. I'm not a white horse who'll
come in and dictate how employees
should feel from the top down. I
believe in cultivating employees from
the bottom up. You have to know—to
deeply understand—the psychology,
emotions, fears, and life challenges of
your workforce. And I do. I've been
there, and I've worked in all kinds of
roles—from mall shop employee to
restaurant server to receptionist to
salesperson to manager to owner. I
help those in charge create an
organizational culture where diverse
employee experiences and ideas are
welcomed. Employees feel seen, heard,
and celebrated, and the workforce
knows and feels that the bottom line is
a byproduct of their personal
development.
It's a holistic approach that only a
person with significant advocacy,
business, education, and legal
backgrounds can offer. It's the
intersection of humanity and high
performance.
So, what significant changes have
you noticed in business, and how do
they impact your work?
The pandemic and its weight on the
workforce made it undeniably clear
that organizations have to change. The
way the majority of organizations were
run left no room for people who had to
completely upend and rearrange their
lives. The en masse loss of the
workforce revealed that, to their roots,
traditional organizations were not built
to value and celebrate their people.
This turnover has finally hurt their
bottom line. Now, we're seeing
organizations struggle to attract and
retain employees, which results in
organizational gaps that hamper
production, innovation, and results and
necessitates ongoing expenditure on
recruitment and training.
Additionally, the rising workforce has
a different mindset. Fundamentally,
they demand from their employers to
be seen and heard; to have an
ascension path; and, most of all, to do
work that aligns with their visions and
values, like philanthropy, diversity,
inclusivity, sustainability, social
responsibility, and whole life wellness.
Businesses seem somewhat aware of
these demands, but few are yet adept or
facile in building (or rebuilding as
necessary) their company cultures to
truly embody these values.
Because of the breadth and depth of
my expertise and experience, I am
uniquely qualified to advise
organizations from a legal, HR,
employment, business, resilience, and
social perspective. I help them not only
facilitate innovation and economic
opportunity but foster the development
of human potential as well.
As a consultant to individuals and
entrepreneurs, what do you offer?
For entrepreneurs, authors, and
speakers, I develop, deliver, and lead
international courses, training,
workshops, retreats, and masterminds.
For those looking to leverage and scale
their expertise, I offer Monetize Your
TM
Expertise , my proprietary system for
building an aligned business,
increasing impact and income, and
becoming a globally-recognized brand.
TM
In my Best-Selling Book Bootcamp ,
I work directly with authors to write,
publish, and monetize their best-selling
book. For those wishing to become
top-notch speakers and further amplify
their message, I offer Monetize Your
TM
Message , a program where I help
speakers craft their signature talks,
confidently connect with and captivate
their audiences, and get booked on
TM
stages. And in Master the Media , I
guide individuals through a step-by-
step strategy to get booked on media
and get great results from their
interviews and appearances so they can
establish themselves as the go-to
expert in their field. As an advisor and
strategist, I help my clients, including
six-, seven-, and eight-figure
entrepreneurs, build aligned businesses
and become global brands.
My full-service, independent
publishing house, Made to Change the
World™ Publishing, is the vehicle
through which I help mission-driven
individuals to use their voice, share
their message with the world, and build
their brand. My team and I help
entrepreneurs, leaders, and experts
publish best-selling books, which in
turn, prompts their invitations to
keynote speaking engagements, TV
appearances, and podcast interviews.

37. The best-selling books that we consistently produce
are fundamental to successfully building their brand
so they can scale their income and impact.
As founder and president, what are your
responsibilities toward your businesses? How do
you empower and lead your team members?
I treat my business culture as a living, breathing
entity that provides a safe space where all are seen,
heard, valued, and respected. I don't micromanage;
rather, I acknowledge my team members as the
professionals and experts they are, and I expect them
to treat each other likewise. I give space for each
member to operate in their zone of genius, and, thus,
each member shines!
I know my team—and their various priorities beyond
the work that they do with me. I respect and
champion their lives outside of the workplace.
Consequently, when it's time to deliver, they're 100
percent engaged and work efficiently and smartly. We
trust each other to complete top-notch products and
deliver world-class services in a timely manner. This
mutual trust also empowers us to ask each other for
and offer each other advice and insight even if it's
outside of our usual forte since we're all working
toward the same goal. Because we all have a sound
work-life balance, we stay motivated to deliver the
best services—be it consulting, advising, strategizing,
branding, marketing, or publishing.
What did you do prior to founding MTC
Consulting and Made to Change the World™
Publishing?
For many years, I was happy being a force for good
“behind the scenes” as a staff attorney in the
judiciary, an advisor to universities, and an advocate
for many human rights-related causes. But a 2019
cancer diagnosis spurred an even stronger desire to be
a visible force for good.
I decided to come out from behind the scenes. I said
to myself, “No more playing small. I am going to step
out from the shadows, use my voice, and step into the
full embodiment of who I am meant to be.” But how?
I began writing books, speaking on stages, and being
more of a media presence.
