Michal is a magician - truly! I have sent her several of my clients who were dealing with fear of public speaking, and through her mastery she was able to help them break through to the other side and truly make an impact in their career and lives. Having just participated in a workshop that Michal gave and experiencing the magic for myself, I was mesmerized. Michal was amazing, fascinating and so engaging!!! I thoroughly enjoyed her session. It's amazing how a few words guiding you in the right direction can make such a powerful impact! I HIGHLY recommend Michal both for group trainings and one on one.

"Michal Guelfand is an excellent speaker and a pleasure to work with. We invited her over to give a lecture at Puls’ ‘Happy Hour’. Her lecture about “The Power of Words” was educational and fascinating. As an HR manager at Puls, one of my goals is to enrich our employees beyond the scope of work, and create a good team environment, which is essential especially nowadays, when our teams work in dispersed locations. Michal enriched our remote teams with knowledge about the way our mind works, and how to improve wellness and increase motivation in all life areas through language. Michal empowered our team members with curiosity and new ways of thinking and equipped us with practical tools to better the quality of life and work through fun, engaging activities. Our employees really enjoyed their time during this Happy Hour. Michal is a well-organized individual which was super helpful in preparation for the lecture. She offered us a myriad of lecture topics and was open to tailor her lecture based on our feedback. I would highly recommend taking Michal, if you are looking for a lecture or a workshop in your organization. I would be incredibly happy to work with her again."
