Michelle Mills-Porter [UK]
Human communication specialist, speaker, author and creator of the MMP analysis toolsMichelle is The People Reader.
Her first company was the youngest to achieve Investors in People and she was already an expert in communication. But her experience during the tsunami changed her trajectory. She had witnessed a magnificence in humanity, the power of true motivation and the limitless possibility of collaboration.
Upon her return, and through her recovery, she worked to capture what she had learned. Becoming a Master Behaviour Profiler but unable to capture what she really wanted to, she eventually created her own suite of analysis tools in communication, core values and behaviour. These tools not only empower individuals, but help organisations to unleash their people potential.
In addition to building a family of Elite Practitioners, Michelle currently helps her clients to achieve advanced communication, team cohesion, collaboration and sky-high performance, which she sees not just as her passion but her destiny.
