About Me
When my sister was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, I had no idea what work-life balance or productivity really was. At the time, I was co-Executive Director of a non-profit organization in Philadelphia called the Empowerment Group. We were growing quickly and there was so much work to do.
After my sister received the cancer diagnosis, the Empowerment Group Board of Directors very generously approved my request to spend 2 days a week in Connecticut so I could be with her and my family for the treatments. I quickly learned that productivity and work-life balance has little to do with the hours at work versus the hours not at work. I saw how it’s about being focused, present, active and decisive through ups and downs, hardships and good times.
I truly love coaching people on productivity. I am committed to seeing people healthy, productive, bold, forward-moving and active despite the obstacles we all face. Increasing productivity is much more to me than checklists and a daily planner, “getting things done” or “doing more” — it’s a way to be there for ourselves and the people we love, and accomplish our goals. It’s the ultimate kind of balance.
(And, I’m very happy to report that my sister and her husband continue to be an enormous inspiration to me. Here’s a link to some recent work she did for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society bit.ly/czQ2M3)

My finances and career are in a better place than they were when we started talking. I’d recommend Michael in a heartbeat to anyone at any age or point in their career looking for a sounding board or guide. He’ll ask the right questions, and you’ll get there.

Speaking with Michael has encouraged me to re-examine my priorities; empathize better with the people in my life; and be really honest with myself in recognizing what it is I need to be a happy and peaceful person. What he has designed is a model and process that everyone should explore and apply at least once in their lives.

Michael hears what you are saying — all of it, in all its complexity, with all its rough edges — and then he asks you exactly that question you’d wished you’d thought to ask yourself two years ago when you began to go round and round in trying to solve this problem on your own. I recommend Michael with great confidence.

I highly value my time spent working with Michael. He not only helped me refocus my professional and personal priorities, but helped me attain a greater sense of equilibrium and well being in my life. Un grand merci!
