Communication from Wendi Gilbert, Media & Community Director.
Michael was my 8th grade drama teacher and one of the most influential people in my entire life.  
(And always my security password when they ask for your favorite teacher.)

Yah!

Michael came to Weston Junior High to teach drama.   I think he attended the end of year dance.  How many 8th graders would want their teacher at a dance?  
​ALL OF US!

​Yes, I had just gotten my braces off.

Through the Years

I live on the West Coast.  My mom lives in the same town as Michael.  So, for all these years, when I visit my mom, if no time works for a breakfast or lunch......a drive by and ONE LONG HUG will do the trick.

Digital?

Dinner in October, 2019.  It dawned on me: Even though Michael traveled incessantly (and loves it,) he still only reaches a limited amount of people.  
So, I asked him about putting out his teachings digitally.
Hmmm....... he said.

Michael's TSP™ Tradition

The cast walks into the dressing room for opening night. Colorful pieces of paper are taped all around the 4 walls and a carnation in front of each person's spot.

Imagine the excitement. Opening Night and  a big Dose of TSP.  From the smallest part in the cast to lighting and props.  Everyone was recognized.
​EVERY opening night of every show we ever did.  

​Important enough.  That I saved them.

Being Valued is Priceless

Imagine being in Junior High and being recognized for your beauty, your strengths and your excellence.  

 

Michael has made a difference in the lives of countless young people in such a positive and unforgettable way.

​And now, he shares this with corporate leaders, so they can lead with excellence and make a positive difference with their own work and leading their team in positive and unforgettable ways.
