Michele Lives to Empower People Who Help People! No one enters this field to get yelled at, cussed at, and treated inappropriately by the people they are there to help. Yet they deal with it all the time, and it takes a toll. Are your people stressed out, burned out and jaded? Empower them to Reclaim Their Passion. Reduce workplace violence and stop tolerating it (along with the stress and burnout) as an “acceptable part of the job”. Michele founded the Empowered Program after an intimidating encounter in Portland Oregon, where she discovered the difference between knowing how to fight, and diffusing a situation before it becomes a problem. Michele Empowers Corporate Audiences, Associations, and Groups through executive consulting, keynotes, seminars, breakout sessions, and interactive workshops.

Cindy is always on the lookout for a new challenge. The biggest one of all sent her on a unique if somewhat terrifying journey initially. Having been in Sales & Marketing all her life, she found herself retrenched, HIV positive (2004) and nowhere to turn to, except inward. Defying numerous health issues, she decided to take on the world by disclosing her status, come what may. Surviving, and now thriving after the challenges of HIV, Cancer, TB Meningitis, Pneumonia, Shingles and two Strokes, (between 2004-2008) authenticates that Cindy is in the distinctive position to train and present on Lifestyle Skills Management that has spanned her enterprising and sometimes, hair-raising vocation. Cindy began speaking, training and subsequently authored two books related to her HIV journey and working life which culminated into her PR Ninja business where she now engages in her role as PR Ninja to self-published Author-Entrepreneurs. All of the above lead to #HashtagRadio, providing yet another opportunity to engage with the public
