“Dr. Michelli was incredibly dynamic, incorporating humor, irony, and experienced insight into his presentation to our attendees. He effectively tied a business improvement model into the healthcare arena, making the message all the more poignant by integrating his personal connection with our attendees' line of work. Fabulous, informative, and captivating.”

“Dr. Michelli is engaging and entertaining without being patronizing in any way. He was able to link experiences in other businesses with the healthcare industry. I think a lot of the doctors connected the dots this time!”

“The retreat you facilitated for our practice last week exceeded my expectations in so many ways and will be life changing for me, my group and our practice. You made it safe for each of us to share and process what our own vision is and then you gave us a format to step into new ways. Working with you was internally and externally empowering and will help to buoy us up to make important changes, allowing us to take our practice to a whole new level.”

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the time and enthusiasm you put into the workshop on Humor in the Workplace. The participants and I found the material to be valuable and useful information, presented in an extremely entertaining fashion. I, too, need to 'track joy' more often in my life. Thanks for the lesson!"

"Thank you for the uplifting presentation on the utilization of humor in medicine. You provided the students ( and faculty) with a new and very refreshing perspective on life. I believe that the affects of your seminar will be far reaching. Many of us are considering keeping joy journals or absurdity albums to keep us smiling. I also believe that the students were made aware of the power of humor in a clinical setting, - something that often becomes lost in the efforts to develop professionalism. I will be calling you again."
