Meet Michele

I'm Michele Martin and I'm responsible for this blog, an ongoing experiment in life-long learning and exploring the opportunities of the Web.

I'm a freelance consultant who combines career development, learning best practices and new technology tools to help individuals and organizations construct learning and development systems. I'm certified as a Career Development Facilitator Instructor by the National Career Development Association (NCDA) and have worked with hundreds of groups and individuals to help them create personalized career and learning plans. With the advent of Web 2.0 and the explosion in freely available online learning tools, I've now begun to combine my background in career development and adult learning with technology to transform the professional development experience. If you'd like to learn more about what I do, you can check out my online portfolio or read about my services to companies and organizations here and my services to individuals here.

I live and work in Philadelphia, PA although I have clients all over the country. I have the great fortune of working for myself from a nice home office where Starbucks coffee is always within reach and my cat can climb on my lap whenever she wants. On the personal front, in addition to the afore-mentioned cat, I have a handsome, sensitive husband and two wonderful daughters, one at NYU and one who's still in high school.
