Connecting with Young People, We face the challenge of how to connect with young people amid reports of disengagement among our youth, a dearth of leadership possibilities in the community and business, and concerns about brain drain.

Michelle has spent her career encouraging young people to take risks and teaching businesses how to do the same.
