For over 20 years, Michelle has been teaching communication and problem solving. She teaches coping skills and how to avoid stress, BUT has now done an about face and changed her tune. 
 She believes we should instead RIDE into the DISCOMFORT ZONE!
Learn how to ride into DISCOMFORT ZONE!  We often avoid difficult conversations or situations thinking they will just go away. NOT!  We must instead run towards what makes us uncomfortable to become confident we can face any challenge from work, relationships, parenting, and life!   We will discuss how to actively listen, communicate effectively and ride into the discomfort zone.  We can make stress our friend and channel that energy to benefit employees, relationships, challenges, and accomplish goals.  Life?  You've got this!
