"A profound and transformative experience. Thank you!"  > Jason Schwartz, Vice President of Sales, Clean Currents "Michelle did her homework before the workshops she did with us, rather than offering 'canned' presentations.

I see the positive impact on how we work and what we create together."  > Julia Dubner, GEICO Marketing "Michelle's creative influence has been felt throughout the organization.

"There is a story that at Tuskeegee Institute George Washington Carver had the builders wait to see where paths between buildings formed naturally before they paved the sidewalks. The sidewalks were paved in a way that honored an authentic order, rather than an artificial one imposed from the outside. Michelle performed a similar service for me. She showed me how to understand and follow my own unique creative process, which contains my own authentic order. That enabled me to use my creativity to develop more successful products, and with greater ease." > Kathy Carroll, President, Brain Friendly Learning   "One of Michelle's facilitated experience helped me create a popular new puzzle product! Right there, during her process, the ideas all came together in a blinding flash, and the design sprang fully formed from my deeper consciousness as her process opened the way to new insights and a successful new product." > Kate Jones, President, Kadon Enterpises    "I can hardly believe how easy the breakthrough came. Working with you one time has changed our business strategy. We now have a whole new unique position defined. Your system works. I came away with a clearly defined direction I can't wait to put it into play." > Cindy Atlee, Partner, Kohlman-Atlee Communication Strategists   "Michelle is the perfect ally during these times when we have to constantly change and adapt and maybe finally pursue that one idea on which to build a new life. She is extremely successful at helping you isolate and define the structure upon which you can build a new product, business, creative expression, workshop, website -- one that comes from the core of you, and that's something from which nobody can ever fire you!" > Karen Rugg, Karlynne Communications    "I've seen Michelle in action both as a performer and facilitator on several occasions.

As a result, we have a marketing tool which expresses the evolution and soul of our business" > Denise Trifiletti, Founder, WomensCommunity "Michelle's work is brilliant! She provides a safe environment for the emergence process. Experiential exercises skip you through the path of the unknown, linking you to incredible 'ah ha' moments - information that you can act on for business results." > Mimi Malfitano, Team Lead, Northrup Grumman Information Technology   "Thank you for facilitating the creative thinking workshop at LMI. What a breath of fresh air to our mostly 'left brain' thinking organization! You have a noticeable passion for what you do, which probably helps explain why you are so good at it!" > Brandon Hill, LMI
