(He, Him, His)

Michael Lespinasse helps DEI practitioners deliver training and communication strategies that impact.
​
After growing up in a splintered family that struggled financially, at 19 years old, he found sales as a way to change his life circumstance. 
 
He sold high-quality cutlery door-to-door, then spent 13 years as a nationally award-winning pharmaceutical sales representative and trainer with Abbott Labs, PDI, and GlaxoSmithKline. 

​

Following his dreams, he left sales to pursue acting and found success appearing on TV shows such as Grey's Anatomy, Criminal Minds, NCIS, and more.

​

Michael studied English Education during his school years and received his Bachelor's Degree from Florida State University, where he walked on as a football player for FSU's National Championship team. Later, he obtained a Master's Degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica and a certificate in Diversity and Inclusion from Cornell University. 

​

Michael's passions are teaching and the psychology of communication. He holds an educator's license and enjoys bringing his enthusiasm for instruction and coaching to the field of DEI.
​
In his free time, he dances, snowboards, and loves being on his yoga mat. A committed life-long learner, he is currently working on a second master's degree in Instructional Design.
