Willa Gaitanis, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Lead for Change Management 

“Leading a diverse group to pursue their respective goals is a tall order. Michael Broom has discovered that one of the best ways is to achieve this is to “know thyself”– another tall order. Michael has successfully put together a “Leadership & Self-Mastery program” which relies on the ancient practice of conversation. Under the watchful eyes of this experienced professional, the group has learned the answers to their individual and group questions lie within each and every person participating. In an atmosphere of understanding and trust, Edie and Michael have instilled the value of “sound and current data”, “feedback,” “appreciative inquiry,” and “systemic thinking”. This course is more than academic instruction. It is an opportunity to internalize and apply principles, to gain insight and knowledge on “how things work”, and to practice, practice, practice.”

Having attended many courses and led many teams (Retired Naval Officer), I found myself looking for training that would further my knowledge of Organizational Development and would allow me to blend my international experiences into a success consulting practice.  What I found was the Practitioners Program!!  Michael and Edie have joined forces and created a powerful system for those that are serious about consulting (internal and external), have a desire to master the skills of executive level human resources, and want to harness the power that comes with change.  Totally sharing themselves, you not only have the benefit of personally learning from two seasoned OD academics and practitioners, you also participate with and co-create a learning support system for life. Practice doesn’t make perfect….practice makes permanent.  This program allows you to practice perfecting your skills as you move to the top of your chosen field.

“Dr. Michael Broom absolutely changed my life! His coaching helped me see the areas that I needed to take responsibility for and improve. He gave me the tools to be the best version of myself! And it wasn’t easy. It was very challenging but I learned to embrace it as I realized that the true growth comes from being uncomfortable at times. Michael has the perfect balance of pushing us to be better while being very caring and nonjudgmental. I am a better person, wife, colleague, friend, daughter.. because of his support and guidance.”
