We had a really great experience working with Executive Essentials. She worked with our company to provide a dynamic and insightful presentation on Personal Branding for our women’s group. She was really able to get everyone engaged by making the event more of a discussion and the level of interaction served to be not only informative, but community building as well. EE was fantastic to work with and brought so much great energy and expertise to the event.

-Catherine McFarland, JPMorgan Chasse,
Fantastic Course! Course with a lot of energy and insight. Good balance of formal course content with practical group exercises designed to give leaders of all levels insight to their existing skills as well as insight to style(s) they may not have thought of. Great course for those in leadership roles, sales roles where understanding your customer’s style is critical to success, and those in influential leadership roles.
-Curtis Junge, Business Manager, Industrial gases north Region at Air Products
I had the honor of hiring Executive Essentials for The New School Staff Development Day. She knocked it out of the park for an audience of 400+! The feedback has been phenomenal. Repeated themes straight from the evaluations include “energetic, full of valuable and relevant information, polished professional and fun”. I couldn’t agree more. The EE facilitator quickly engaged the crowd, picked up on audience needs and got powerful messages across in a humble, smart way. I HIGHLY recommend Executive Essentials for any keynote, training or coaching.

I had the pleasure of working with Michelle when she ran a day-long public speaking workshop for Marist’s women’s mentoring group. She did an amazing job and kept us engaged the entire day. The workshop was highly interactive and provided a wealth of practical advice and takeaways. Michelle is organized, professional, engaging, and knowledgeable, and she can customize each workshop to a group’s particular needs and interests.
-Elisabeth Tavarez, Assistant Vice President, College Marketing and Communication, Marist College
Michelle did an outstanding job of addressing the specifics we requested and accomplished that in a very engaging and energetic manner. The analysis of personality types and their effect on sales opportunities was especially helpful.

The Executive Essentials facilitator was dynamic, fun, and exciting. It was easy to listen to her and follow what she presented. She really engaged the whole group. At every point, she drew people in from around the room. I would recommend this training to anybody.

Executive Essentials led a great presentation at our recent meeting – she was interesting and dynamic. She engaged the entire audience by breaking us into working groups, soliciting our input, and tying it into her presentation content. We had a highly active presenter, who kept us entertained throughout!

Our office retained Executive Essentials to conduct a productivity workshop with a staff of 18. She immediately lit up the room with her energy and ability to connect and relate with each team member. Her thoughtful and tailored suggestions and solutions demonstrated the research she’d done on our needs. I would strongly recommend Michelle and Executive Essentials – she’s an outstanding balance of motivation, empathy and professionalism.
-Michael Malone, Associate Dean at Columbia Business School
The program leader has a knack for presenting complex information in an easily digestible way. I learned a great deal about my behavior and how it contributes to how I am perceived, as well as how to relate to persons with different operating styles. This was one of the best workshops I’ve ever attended. I recommend this workshop to anyone who is interested in upgrading their personal brand. My coworkers and I couldn’t stop talking about how much we enjoyed the workshop.
-Alberto Dominguez, Personnel Officer, Global Ministries
The trainer was very comfortable with the group, a lot of fun, funny, interesting and interactive. The group quickly got comfortable and participated in an active discussion and got some very helpful tips under expert facilitation. I would highly recommend a program with Executive Essentials; you will get a lot out of it as I did.

I engaged Executive Essentials to help my department deal with some key communication challenges. They prepared superbly by listening to what the issues were and what my expectations were. The session was interesting, fun, insightful, and ultimately extremely helpful. I strongly recommend Executive Essentials for their expertise, delivery style, and above all, for the results produced.

I walked out of the class a much more self aware, observant and confident communicator.
-Stephen Wright, Managing Director, Risk at Neuberger Berman
I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about the session, including several “oh my gosh, THAT’S WHY we don’t get along/can’t get anything done” types of comments. For my part, I can say unequivocally that it was everything I’d hoped for and much more. It felt like the right mix of listening and activities, and there was a ton of good content and instruction.
-Rozlyn Rader , Controller, Signature Theater
I appreciate the time Executive Essentials spent with us providing expert guidance on managing for excellence. Their programs were eye opening, and the information presented was received with an extreme positive impact; it was a most memorable experience.
Mark Klein, NYCDEP
Michelle’s teaching style is very good and engaging. She is a dynamic speaker and keeps your attention focused throughout a full day of training. Her content helps to better focus your message by gaining a better understanding of your audience. While many may think this is touchy feely stuff, Michelle brings it around to how interactions happen in the workplace and how personality types respond to different approaches. Overall, an excellent course and highly recommended!
-Ralph Bohnenberger, Facilities Finance Business and Contract Manager
I found the presentation and advice to be practical and immediately actionable. She set the audience at ease and held the attention of room in a warm yet direct, informative manner. I highly recommend Executive Essential’s program to help you and your employees better understand and execute the art and science of professional networking.
