AMA Orange County
The value was in her practical techniques: Knowing the intent & audience. Persuading with benefits & consequences. Starting with the Bottom Line Up Front. Learning to be more still, serious, and slow. And using storytelling, metaphors & verbal guideposts to improve my powers of persuasion.

I’m so happy I brought in Michele as a presenter for the Constant Contact series. I loved how she wrangled the crowd and got everyone to shoot a video on the spot with their smartphones. The hands-on aspect of her presentation is what makes her different. It’s not a boring lecture — it’s a fun, ‘Let’s do this. Now, together’ experience.

When Michele spoke to my Mastermind group she crushed it. She went deep into why we fear the camera and how we make the emotional connection necessary to get our viewers to take the next step. We loved her enthusiasm. She was hands-on (everyone shot a video), going beyond superficial talk, for a truly interactive learning experience.
— ARI SQUIRES

Michele’s style is captivating and motivating – and stopped my inner critic in her tracks. She made lessons relevant, fun and easy to digest and is one of the best coaches I’ve ever encountered. I worried I couldn’t commit to making videos, but she held my hand through every step. As a transgender woman, I never felt judged. Michele was genuine, thoughtful and compassionate throughout.

Your leaders don’t need generic communication training.
They need to practice the exact moments in which expertise must become influence: explaining risk to an executive, pushing back while preserving trust, securing cross-functional buy-in and leading resistance to change.
Their expertise got them in the room. Now they need to lead it.
