Michelle is the proud creator of the Winnipeg version of ‘Where’s Waldo’. With the help of Constance Popp Chocolates and the famed #PoppaGnome (5:00). This 21-day project took place all around Winnipeg and showcased a variety of local businesses in an inventive way. Participants emailed their guesses in for a chance to win the ultimate prize, chocolate!
In addition to this whimsical project, Michelle recently spoke at a TEDxWinnipegSalon and discussed the Butterfly Effect of Positivity (7:24). This talk explained how small, positive actions can have a ripple effect in your own community and change someone’s life. Essentially, when you open up your eyes to this - you are easily able to see the impact of your actions, as well as others. Community involvement and volunteering come with a natural high, proven by Michelle’s research for her talk. The ‘alterior motive’ becomes addicting and it’s a great way to give back - “being nice is its own reward”.
Michelle runs a lunchtime walking club (10:27) to encourage activity and utilize the benefits from positive health benefits associated with exercise; both physical and mental. She often draws motivation and insight from ParticipACTION. When it comes to keeping her job, activities and life in general organized, she keeps it simple (13:40); she makes lists! Looks like it’s back to pen and paper for me… Michelle is #GOALS!
