"We become our most powerful when we combine our passions and skills, allow them to commingle and play with each other. Because I think we're so fractured... when we blend our different strengths into a life statement for ourselves, we become more whole."

After earning her Ph.D in Cognitive Psychology at Princeton and being voted "Most Inspirational Professor" while teaching cognition and creativity, Dr. Michelle Chappel left it all to pursue a career in music. She was called crazy by everyone around her, but she went on to win 17 Billboard awards with her songs topping international radio charts and appeared in shows on ABC, HBO, Encore and Showtime. Today she works with clients like Google, Ebay and Yahoo to help other professionals find their unique intersections of gifts.
