Michelle LaBrosse, CCPM, PMP, PMI-ACP, RYT Being of service, helping others, creating value – these are innate human drives. For many, focusing on being in genuine service brings meaning and depth to life. I was discussing these deep philsophical ideas with the dirt working dude for our year round food production project in Alaska. (He […]
Michelle LaBrosse, CCPM, PMP, PMI-ACP, RYT Everyday I get to review five to ten course evaluations from Cheetah Learning students. For me, this is my pay day. All student feedback is valued insight, however and whatever our students want to share about their experiences as they pursue their goals under our guidance. It always impresses
Michelle LaBrosse, CCPM, PMP, PMI-ACP, RYT In 2008, very concerned about the unraveling of our financial investment infrastructure, it occurred to me I was looking at just one element of our capital basis. We in fact have five distinct sources of capital we can leverage to be in service and create value with and for
Michelle LaBrosse, CCPM, PMP, PMI-ACP, RYT I’m putting the finishing touches on a new course we call Project Micro Greens. It’s been a whirlwind as we designed and use the system included in the course. But teaching how to build it is quite another task.

Michelle LaBrosse, CCPM, PMP, PMI-ACP, RYT Being in service is a privlege of the capable – think about it – who wants someone incompetent attempting to be of service? Yet it is more than just an alignment of capabilities to best serve others, it is also about taking on the responsibilities that are yours
Michelle LaBrosse, CCPM, PMP, PMI-ACP, RYT Years ago a good friend told me people go where they are needed and stay where they are wanted. I’ve realized while there are many places I’m needed, there are far fewer where I’m truly wanted. I’ve found time and time again, I’m best able to serve those who
Michelle LaBrosse, CCPM, PMP, PMI-ACP, RYT I was watching a TED talk on block chain technology (the engine behind Bitcoin) and am fascinated how we create systems to increase our ability to trust those processes we need to conduct our lives. It seems trust is in short supply these days from our political candidates, to
Michelle LaBrosse, CCPM, PMP, PMI-ACP, RYT In the news lately there has been much complaint how little attention main stream media gave to the floods in Louisiana. This has spurred much conversation with my peers about how many of us have become numb to the “news,” just curating only the information we wish to receive.
