Michelle Lefebvre, M.A.C., CPC

CEO and Retention Strategist & Communication Expert, Coach With Michelle, Inc.

Why I teach at IOM: “I teach at IOM because participants are striving to stretch themselves, to reach outside their comfort zone and even question conventional practices to seek out better ways to build strong professional relationships; expand their leadership aptitude; and most importantly, because they want to be there.

It’s a joy working alongside those who are committed to their personal growth and are open to the possibilities of being remarkable.  As a result, there is a particular kind of energy that motivates me to give my all to each and every minute of each and every course I teach.  I enjoy the thought-provoking give-and-take; the relationships that are built; the best practices that are created.  There’s nothing like being a part of the magic at IOM.”
