Wow! It’s amazing how much Michelle and I have in common. Even though I have never been in the corporate world or the field of human resources! During this interview, Michelle provided a wealth of information around communication skills that are vital to leaders because these days—perspective is vital. The program she described as “DISC” was a very clear and easy way to help managers and the like live the Platinum Rule by communicating and leading others in their preferred styles. And who doesn’t love games in the workplace!! The Leadership Game Michelle talks about is such a great team builder and excellent tool because people are engaging, learning, and having fun all at the same time. Michelle touched briefly on her new program, "Your Purpose Creates Your Vision Which Sets Your Goals," which rolls out April 20, 2021.  It is grounded in core values—on what truly matters to individuals. I absolutely loved talking about how ignoring and avoiding problems won’t make them go away and change takes action after awareness and assessments are made. And boy did it resonate when Michelle dared to say out loud why people leave their “jobs.” www.ATeagueOfYourOwn.com
