Blooming Where You're Planted

Through understanding how we interact with the world around us, and by refusing to let habits such as playing the victim, gossiping and resentment to take hold of our spirits, we give goodness more room to grow...and ourselves a chance to bloom. In addition, Mimi reminds audiences that our growth doesn't take place in isolation, but rather in the most diverse and amazing of gardens, where even rocks have an important purpose.

Through these analogies, Mimi has reached a wide range of audiences with lasting impact. Everyone from corporate executives and professional volunteers to retail meat department managers have shared ways in which their lives improved and work conditions changed for the better thanks to the skills they gained from Mimi. They learned that it doesn't matter nearly as much where you're planted, it matters what you decide to do there!

Effective Leadership

Before corporate or non-profit leaders can grow great organizations, they have to learn to build effective relationships, to be mission-focused and personally balanced. Mimi has experienced many waves of business strategy from Managing By Objective and TQM to Integrated Sustainable Management. Through all the shifting business trends, keys to effective leadership remain the same, and Mimi will be glad to share them.

Developing Non-profit Boards

Does your non-profit think it's a charity? Mimi will help you see your organization differently. Mimi spent ten years in the non-profit world working as the marketing and development director for an agency that serves individuals with disabilities and then for a Boys and Girls Club. In addition, she has served on several high-profile boards. Seeing non-profits from both perspectives helps her remind audiences that being mission-minded can go hand in hand with sound business principles and greater accountability.

Civility 101

Has your organization forgotten its manners? Mimi is on a one-woman crusade to help the world mind its manners. She doesn't focus on civil behavior for the sake of social propriety. She believes good manners allow us to truly honor one another and create conditions for greater individual and social growth.
