KEYNOTES AND WORKSHOPS
VIRTUALLY

"It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change." The pandemic has drastically changed the way we live our lives and how we communicate. Principled Pennix has adjusted to this change and offers virtual consulting and mentoring. Through the use of online platforms such as zoom Michelle is able to provide students, educators, and the community with the skills to navigate the educational system.
IN SCHOOLS

Knowledge is POWER isn't just a saying. 30 years actively working in education has allowed Michelle to empower both student, educators and administrators and she has no intention of stopping. Her experience over three decades in educational institutions has give Michelle insight most education advisors lack. It is this experience that allows Michelle to create programs that are grounded in proven methods for addressing the issues unique to academic settings.
Our educational institutions form our future leaders. Michelle's training programs teach educators and administrators how to create culturally responsive learning environments ensuring they know how to help the students in their care grow to their fullest potential.
IN BUSINESSES

Implicit bias isn't just the latest buzz-phrase in corporate HR. It is a real threat to an organization's success. Worse, it destroys the ability an organization has to maximize the potential of its existing workforce to outpace and out-perform the competition.
This is just one of the areas of growth Prinicipled Pennix helps organizations identify and improve.
IN COMMUNITIES

We need more strong, unified communities. Communities that understand the value and strengths of all of its residents and utilizes them for the benefit of all. This is how we stay strong and thrive, using our unique skills, perspectives and experiences to support each other.
Principled Pennix partners with community organizations to identify and understand the unique make-up of their citizens. This allows them to not only build relationships and better serve their communities, but to also be better supported by the communities they serve.
