• 4. But I've Never Climbed Everest?!

  Success is a personal journey that shouldn't be measured against the accomplishments of others. You are meant to be whatever you dream of becoming regardless of what those around you might think, or the barriers that you have put up for yourself. Michelle defines 'the small thinker' using humorous personal examples, and then helps you find your own Everest through practical 'start small' strategies. She shares her ordinary success story to shed some light on why we put up barriers to getting to where we really want to be.

• 3. SOMEDAY is Not a Day of the Week

  Someday is a very busy day for many of us. If you regularly think about your goals and plans but rarely get to them maybe it's time to ask yourself WHY? When the day-to-day schedule gets chaotic and life becomes more about keeping up than it does about moving ahead we put off enjoyable activities, we delay self care, and procrastination becomes the norm rather than the exception. What have you been putting off lately? What would help you get to it?
  
  In this enlightening and humorous session Michelle helps you get over the guilt, get to the good things and live a bigger life. Step away from delay and move your dreams and goals from someday to TODAY.

• 2. Stress Defense

  It is estimated that 50-75% of all people who visit a doctor do so for psychosomatic disorders – illnesses that originate in the mind and manifest in physical ailments. Stress is a leading cause! Our 'stress generation' is so used to living with stress that it doesn't occur to us that we don't have to! Join Michelle as she presents her viewpoints on the physical impact of stress on the body, how we create needless stress for ourselves, and what we can do to minimize it. She'll talk about how your reactions to events can impact your stress levels and provides you with her practical 6 step 'stress defense'.

• 1. Exposing the Myth of Life Balance

  75% of Canadians don't believe that work-life balance is possible. We're working more than ever, spending less time with our friends and family, and inevitably watching our health and happiness drift away. So maybe it's true? Since we spend more time looking for balance than we do experiencing it, perhaps success comes from approaching life balance with a new strategy? In this session Michelle exposes the myth of work-life balance and reveals the real secret to better success. With Michelle's humour and 'start small' approach you can find more time for the things that matter, and learn practical and realistic tips for moving toward better balance.

• I experienced Michelle speaking at a Canadian Conference. She is 'my kind of speaker'. I loved her energy, well-researched material and most of all, her humour. Michelle knows how to read a crowd and get everyone going so they leave inspired and energized. I have already recommended her to some of my clients and contacts.

• Michelle Presented at the Ultimate Pajama Party in Jasper in 2003 and she was a hit! She is now a regular part of our presenting team and is one of our most popular presenters. I can wholeheartedly say that based on our evaluations, Michelle is always a huge hit. She's joined us in Bermuda, Whistler, Victoria, Lake Louise, and Jasper!

• Michelle closed our two day Health Canada Admin conference with her 'Exposing the Myth of Life Balance' keynote. She was masterful at gently taking charge of the room without a lot of time to do so. I enjoyed her personal approach: sharing her stories and the highs and lows along the way. She is a great story teller (and comic if I might add). Many of our staff listed her session as the highlight of our two day event. I look forward to working with Michelle again soon.

• I love the enthusiasm and joy evident in Michelle's presentations. I definitely will be able to make a commitment to a small daily change to improve my health and well being. 10 minutes it is!
