Michael Forman is a New York City native who moved with his fiancée to Boise in January 2018. He has always had a passion for helping people to succeed. He will always remember his mom coming home from a parent-teacher conference in elementary school where his teacher was so surprised and amazed that he had taken the time to make sure that his fellow classmates knew the subject material as well as he did.

He carried his desire to help others succeed to the work world where he has spent the last 14 years of his career helping businesses get past the barriers that are stopping them from reaching their goals. Along the way, he realized that communicating your values, and what you bring to the table in a way that speaks to your audience, is one of the keys to being able to successfully engage with your customers and clients. He is excited to teach you how to do the same.
