“I participated in Michelle’s webinar entitled “How To Get What You Want: Influencing Others into Action,” and I mean it, I really participated. Without seeing her face, she was still able to connect with her audience through her energy, conversational style, and multiple directions to use the chat box to respond to her prompts. She was also extremely generous with her attention to our chat-box answers, as well as to the questions we posed ourselves. I came away with copious, useful strategies that I can implement right away — can’t say that about every webinar!”

~ Daniel Sadowsky Middlesex County Government

“A powerhouse of a presenter who is as approachable as she is knowledgeable, Michelle makes a memorable dent in her audience drawing people in, peaking their curiosity, and advancing their skills and self-awareness. Hours feel like minutes and the takeaways keep on giving. An uber professional, I would hire, recommend, and take a workshop from Ms. Lederman in a New York nano-second.”

~ Robin Diller Torres, Assistant Dean of Student Engagement and Leadership, Marist College
