Simple yet Positively Impactful Lessons Fri, May 28, 2021
Michelle is great, very engaging and motivating. Her lessons are always simple yet doable to put into practice. Michelle's presentation was very meaningful. I really appreciate how she dived into the long-term benefits of implementing these ideas now. That alone shows that she is concerned about the long-term. I have used some of her techniques and have become more optimistic and productive with my work days. That right there, defines a great presenter and teacher.
