“People intoxicate themselves with work so they won't see how they really are.”
”Next to silence, that which expresses the inexpressible is music.”
These two quotes by Aldous Huxley are favorites of Michelle’s and say a lot about who she is. She plays the bass clarinet like a bad ass! She studied music at the Manhattan School of Music but did not make music her career. I understand that. Sometimes something is such a part of who you are that you don’t want to make it “work”. So instead it’s how she plays! Her work is equally impressive though. She’s worked in the Peace Corps and for non-profits in Africa. She told me a story about having helped set up a radio station in an African village and how important that technology was to helping people communicate and know what is going on in their country and the world. Now she runs her own business as an Executive Coach & Organizational Development Consultant.
