What our Awesome alumni say:

I recently completed Michelle’s Find Your Awesome HRBP course, 10 weeks of real, pragmatic business partnering training seasoned with plenty of laughs along the way. Michelle has a wonderful way of making everyone feel like they belong and bringing out the best in each person, and that showed in how the group’s connections grew stronger week on week, built from just an hour together each session.

I would highly recommend securing a place in the next cohort. It’s valuable whether you’re an experienced HRBP or just starting out, because it captures just how fast this already demanding industry is moving and how to keep pace with it.

Thank you, Michelle, for your magic, your sparkle, and your pink. Never change.

What our Awesome alumni say:

I’ve recently completed her HR course for business partners. It’s good, I’d go as far to say it’s awesome! For those starting off, it gives you a favour of all HR topics and for those more experienced it reinforces your knowledge and reminds you, that YES … you were right in what you were thinking. She is great at giving you hints and tips to manage expectations and your convictions

Added to that she supports you outside of the course, sending recommendations and is always at the end of a What’s App.

Thank you Michelle. Please don’t ever change. It’s good to know that there are people in the HR profession who are so insightful.
