About Worth With Me Research The Examined Mind Contact

Hi, I'm Dr. Miche!

 

I'm a leading authority in emotional intelligence with over two decades of experience helping individuals cultivate self-awareness, emotional mastery, and socially intelligent leadership. I am the creator of the MESSS™ Emotional Intelligence Program, a trademarked framework that makes EQ actionable through Motivation, Empathy, Self-Awareness, Self-Regulation, and Social Skills.

As an expert consultant and strategist, I work with professionals, leadership teams, and high performers through customized consulting, group intensives, and immersive retreats that center emotional intelligence as the foundation of long-term impact and success.

I am the founder of Forward Education, where I have guided over 1,700 students and young professionals through life’s most critical academic and personal transitions using research-based educational counseling and executive functioning strategies.

I am also the co-founder of The Examined Mind, a collaboration with trauma and resilience specialist Dr. Amy O’Neill. Together, we offer emotional intelligence-driven workshops, leadership programs, and customizable retreats tailored to the specific needs of each client. These immersive retreats are designed for individuals and organizations ready to deepen their personal growth, leadership capacity, and community impact—and are available through a selective application process.

Whether supporting rising leaders or established changemakers, I lead with the belief that emotional intelligence is not a buzzword—it’s the foundation of everything.

Why the spiral?

I chose the spiral for my logo because it reflects the journey of growth—fluid, layered, and always evolving. To me, it represents emotional intelligence in motion: expanding self-awareness, deepening empathy, and moving forward with intention. It’s also a nod to nature’s wisdom. Like the curve of a shell or the pull of the wind, reminding us that transformation doesn’t have to be linear to be powerful.
