Michele

Serious about self-care, snacks, nonfiction storytelling, and narrative intelligence.

Human-centered stories are my open road to sparking imagination, clarity and connection. They are the lens through which I make sense of the world and support leaders and teams in building alignment, especially in high-stakes, high-trust environments.

As a narrative intelligence expert and 3x award-winning documentary television showrunner, I’ve spent more than two decades working with people at inflection points in their journeys. Documentary stories, like organizational ones, emerge from moments of crisis, reinvention, and the pursuit of belonging, purpose, or success on our own terms.

My work has been translated into 60+ languages, streamed in 190 countries, and distributed globally by Netflix, HBO, and other internationally-established media entities.

Authentic, responsible, and effective stories have always been worth championing—whether shaping global documentaries, indie docs, snackable-length micro-docs, or supporting leaders entrusted with either governance or daily stewardship of their organizations.

Alongside my creative work, I lead masterclasses, workshops, and talks. I have spoken at conferences in South Korea, Canada, France (remote), and the U.S., including a TEDx talk on the risks of living inside externally imposed narratives and how reclaiming authorship of your story seeds self-directed success. I also facilitate a yearlong masterclass series for Netflix. 

Whether working with executives, mid-career professionals, first-time voters, celebrated chefs, or civil servants, I guide people toward a narrative approach that clarifies purpose, strengthens culture, and advances mission-critical outcomes. For me, story is both art and approach: a way to explore complex ideas through a personal lens, align vision, and cultivate trust.

 I’m always in search of story. I’m in search of it right now…
