Let's be real.
No textbook or app will ever prepare you for the real challenge of communication: navigating the complicated in-between of language, cultures, and the people who shape them.
WeCultivate is more than language training—it’s a movement.
Through expert coaching, thought-provoking media, and a global community, we help professionals navigate the complexities of communication with confidence and clarity.
Podcast (Bimonthly)
Conversations that challenge, inform, and inspire. WeCultivate: ThePod dives into the real struggles and breakthroughs of communication, language, and identity. Listen to intersectional conversations from Michelle and her guests, sharing personal accounts of how they have each navigated these complexities in their real-world lives and careers.

Media & Free Community
Language is more than words—it’s how we connect, belong, and make sense of the world. Through in-depth articles and bonus content in The Communication Shift (monthly newsletter), we’re shifting the conversation around communication. Join us today and be part of the dialogue.

Key themes I explore through this site and other platforms:
- The Power Dynamics of Language: Exposing how societal structures exploit and gatekeep language learning.
- Reclaiming Authenticity: Empowering learners to embrace their identity instead of erasing it.
- Language as Growth, Not Erasure: Viewing language learning as a way to expand who you are, not diminish it.Â
- Cultural Integration Without Conformity: Advocating for additive approaches to language and identity.
- Breaking the Cycle of Dependence: Challenging profit-driven narratives that exploit non-native learner insecurity.
- Language as a Bridge – Between Others & Self: Using language to connect, grow, and discover untapped parts of yourself.
- Professional Communication Across Cultures: The ever-increasing importance of equipping non-native speakers with realistic tools and skills to confidently navigate diverse workplaces and global environments.
What a few of my clients have had to say....
"In three months, I have made more progress with Michelle than I have in the last 10 years... I realize now that I don't need to try to be a native speaker in order to communicate properly."
– Andrew K, Global Team Lead
"The fact that I wasn’t born here has always put me in a place of insecurity compared to my native-born colleagues. I contacted Michelle to help me with my public speaking skills and e-mail communication. She gave me so much insight into what areas I have been naturally avoiding, and helped me get over the fear surrounding my imposter syndrome. I am so appreciative of her and her Swiss-army knife approach to language and communication!"
– Claudia N, Policy Expert
"I know that improving my English will be a lifelong exercise. But that means it can feel like it goes on forever. Since working with Michelle, I've made so much more progress, and I actually look forward to our classes each week!"
– David L, Research Scientist
"I have a clear goal on why I need English. I decided to give Michelle a shot. And a year later, I can tell you that it was one of the best decisions I made in terms of my education."
– Bart G, Software Engineer
"I was completely surprised when I reached out to Michelle for assistance with my Master's degree final oral exams. She is the only online instructor I have had that thoroughly prepared and even read my work ahead of time, providing me with insightful feedback for my talk."
– Joyce L, Master's Student
