Testimonials

“We had a really great experience working with Michelle Allegretti on a Train-the-Trainer workshop over a 2-week period. The participants were engaged and walked away with many tips on best practices when training in a manufacturing setting; virtually and in person. Michelle was a great match for our audience and her knowledge of training, designing training, communication and behavioral styles were just what we needed.  She was adaptive and receptive to the many questions our team challenged her with. We are planning to contract with TrainSmart for future consulting and training.”
