…organizations who have invested in leadership development are seeing a handsome return
on their investment… to win the war for leaders –and to safeguard their organizational futures.”

Mary Fontaine, Vice President and General Manager of Hay Group McClelland Center for Research and Innovation in partnership with Chief Executive Magazine, 08 February 2007.

Executive Development
 
Following a successful career as a manager within large organizations, Michele has spent twenty years as an entrepreneur. She runs a consulting business that has delivered results for thousands of managers globally. Michele has first hand knowledge of what she teaches. She combines that experience with her instructional expertise and business acumen to provide an extraordinary learning experience. As “Master Instructor” for GE Crotonville, she has been an integral part of GE’s year-after-year ranking as the number one company for leadership development by Fortune and Chief Executive magazines.

Michele’s course designs resonate with leaders. She does not bother them with behind the scenes crafting but simply maximizes their learning through provocative, compelling and well researched programs. She believes that leaders will become more effective, if they enjoy their learning process — if it's real to them, and if it seems immediately worthwhile. She believes that leaders are made, not born, so she works them hard, but with sensitivity and humor. She stimulates her clients through questions that examine their leadership values, but never plays with their emotions. Her sessions always focus on improving performance in very practical and realistic ways

Michele’s repertoire ranges from teaching critical management skills to presenting thought provoking sessions on the anthropological origins of corporate cultures. A list of her primary topics shows her versatility and range. Michele has taught groups as small as 5 and as large as 500. She can engage
a group of hard driving executives just as well as a group of hourly administrative employees. She
can lead a set of strangers or an in-tact team with underlying conflict. She can fluidly communicate
to the whole spectrum of corporate personalities — CEOs and wealthy heirs, scientists and statisticians, financial deal makers and supply chain negotiators — across cultures and nationalities,
functions and levels.
