Cheetah Negotiations : How to Get What You Want, Fast

Michelle LaBrosse has a full-figure personality. She is a rocket scientist — yes, you read that right — a bona fide rocket scientist. When she woke up and realized she no longer enjoyed being a rocket scientist but instead had a deep and genuine love of learning (and laughing), she set out on a new path — to bring the love and joy of learning to professionals. Michelle found that most traditional educational environments sucked the life force out of people's desire to learn — especially her own. Being into research (reference her early career as a rocket scientist), she began to study how to make learning faster, easier, and a lot more fun.Using current methods on accelerated learning, project management, and negotiations, LaBrosse has grown her company, Cheetah Learning, into the profitable, market leader in Project Management training in four years. So how did Michelle generate this level of success so quickly in a market in recession? Well, it certainly did not come from behaving the way "good girls" do. Says LaBrosse: "We're easy, we're fun, and we're fast." Michelle has a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Syracuse University, an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from University of Dayton, and is currently enrolled in Harvard Business School's three-year Owner President Management program for entrepreneurs. Michelle was profiled in the book, Rich Dad's Success Stories, by Robert Kiyosaki and is a member of the Women President's Organization.Linda Lansky is an integral part of the Cheetah Learning Team. She is a certified coach for the Cheetah Exam Prep for the PMP. Linda's project management experience comes from over twenty years in Information Technology & Quality Management in the semiconductor industry. Linda is a member of the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD), PMI and received her training certificate from Langevin Learning Services. Linda is the lead designer on the creative collaboration team for the development of new Cheetah Learning courses. Back at her ranch in northern California, Linda enjoys her horses, cattle, dogs, family, and a home vineyard and fledgling winery — not necessarily in that order.
