Shelley, you deserve more credit for this video than I do. Without your help over the past eight months I wouldn't have been able to come close to the talk quality. And the talk quality has really made the video stand out. It's been blogged and tweeted several times. Thank you! Adam Smith, founder Xobni.com

My studies with Shelley Mitchell have been life-changing -- not to change anything about me, but to discover and embrace the essence of who I am as an individual. While the deeper connection with my self has freed me to be creative as a public speaker, it has equally been so positive in my personal and business relationships.

How to deliver a ted-worthy presentation
Shelley Mitchell helps business executives and technical professionals give outstanding presentations. Clients gain self-knowledge about what's going on inside of them and more awareness of what others are seeing on the outside. ...They learn that at the end of the day, it's much simpler to be authentic than to try to figure out how to look like you're being authentic.

Check out these four great articles on leadership and 21st century interpersonal communication:
• Harvard Business Review- on the importance of being a truly authentic leader.
• Business Week- Warren Bennis: Acting the Part of a Leader
• Business Week- 5 time Oscar nominee, Glenn Close responds to Warren Bennis
• NY Times article: The Start-Up of You
by Thomas L. Friedman

CUSTOMIZED ATTENTION
Shelley Mitchell inspires her clients to work “from the inside out.” Her technique is a fusion of Daniel Goleman’s EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, Jaron Lanier's controversial book YOU ARE NOT A GADGET, Jill Bolte Taylor's MY STROKE OF INSIGHT and time honored Method Acting techniques that have dominated the entertainment industry for over 60 years. She is able to achieve quick and lasting results for her clients.

The search for meaning at both a cultural and personal level is the #1 subject researched on Google. Meaningful communication requires that we open ourselves to question as sincerely as possible what it means to be human.
