Customer Reviews
Just wow!
I might be a little biased, as I helped coach Michelle on her podcast, but I must say she's been a favorite student of mine. She gets it. She is a master at creating compelling and relevant content and her new podcast is no exception. Keep up the great work Michelle!
Just as promised! Thanks, Michelle!
The key adjectives are FUNCTIONAL and PRACTICAL, and when it comes to the workplace, those are words I LOVE. Michelle gives real, concrete advice that you can act on and see the results. Thank you SO MUCH!
Filling a Void
I love positive psychology and Michelle makes it even better, if that’s possible. Her approach in presenting evidence-based examples rather than pop-style sound bites is desperately needed. I’m a fan already and excited for more!
