Over the past 30 years she has educated and inspired tens of thousands of people from hundreds of organizations throughout the United States and Canada. She is the author of two bestselling books: The SkillPath Business Communication Style Guide and A Winning Attitude. Michelle is the pro you're looking for to present your next training program, motivational keynote, or online business writing program.
In the fall of 2023 she began offering one-on-one online coaching to individuals interested in a more personalized approach to their growth.
Before creating our company in 2009, Michelle was a founding trainer and curriculum designer for SkillPath Seminars and the Director of Educational Programs for Albert Joseph's International Writing Institute.

Whether helping her students to write more clearly and quickly or to build their communication skills and achieve greater workplace success, Michelle has been universally praised for her down-to-earth training style, her warmth and humor, and her ability to inspire lasting change.
And now, with her recent focus on personal coaching, she has found that these same skills can be fostered online with the same warmth, humor, and knowledge that she has always brought to her face-to-face programs.
