"Michelle did her homework before the workshop rather than offering a 'canned' presentation. The safe, non-judgemental environment helped our very diverse group open up right away, and Michelle kept the freshness and energy going throughout the day. 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. Michelle brought to Kaiser a great deal of perspective and insight into the creative process that we've used during the planning stages of projects, at meetings, for problem solving and with teams. She introduced creative thinking into a large project which hugely impacted the creative output of all the groups working on that initiative."  > Steven Pereira, Director of Learning and Organizational Development, Kaiser Permanente "Michelle is a dynamic and innovative leader, consultant and coach. Her approach is results focused, utilizing her expertise in creativity and complexity science. She has created a truly integrative approach that helps great things emerge for individuals, teams, and organizations."  > Tom Soloman, Organizational Effectiveness Officer, Nationwide Insurance "I loved your workshop - what a treat! You have such a nice style and are so warm and talented. I really enjoyed the program as well."  > Betsy Jessup Caine, President, Work In Progress, LLC "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 "One of Michelle's facilitated experience helped me create a 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 "Michelle's unobtrusive but focused facilitation provided an excellent model to facilitate the balance of individual gifts and business bottom line. Participants learned to think on their feet and increase their self-confidence in their capacity to meet work challenges. I left feeling energized about my work"  > Juliet Bruce, Ph.D., Executive Director, Transformation Through the Arts

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 has made it possible for me to use my creativity to develop more successful products, and with greater ease." > Kathy Carroll, President, Brain Friendly Learning

"Thank you so much for a great session! Your presentation really gave the new executives a 'start smart' for their leadership development." > Jane S. Kornblut, Facilitator, Start Smart Leadership Program, Center for Nonprofit Advancement "Michelle has developed what will certainly be the next big thing in personal and organizational change. Combining improv theatre, group dynamics, intuition, body intelligence and the untapped creativity of the unconscious mind, she seamlessly integrates these power tools as if this new discipline already existed - and with transformative and measurable results."  > Robbe Richman, President, Articulated Impact "Michelle’s collaborative approach led to the creation of a concise and true WC story which not only captured the full scope and critical messages, but was engaging and became an effective marketing message (as well as a story). As a result, we have a marketing tool which expresses the evolution and soul of WomensCommunity.Com." > Denise Trifiletti, Founder, WomensCommunity. com "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 "The impact of our work together has rippled across almost every aspect of my business. Her assistance led to many of our latest service offerings.

Just what I needed to freshen my training sessions!" > Angela Churchill, Organizational Development Specialist, Department of Human Services "I've seen Michelle in action both as a performer and facilitator on several occasions. Her facilitation methods are fun, effective and very energizing."  > Bill Olsen, Certified Professional Facilitator, President, Olsen Innovations "Michelle is a scholar of creativity as well as a deeply seasoned practitioner.
