....I would strongly recommend Michelle if you need a strong ‘Right Hand’ to help you through any of your business needs….

One of the many things I appreciate about working together is Michelle's ability to extract, filter and articulate my needs when I do a brain dump with her.

Michelle is an administrative Marry Poppins. She drops in and fixes everything with her bag of tricks and makes everything better.

Michelle is intuitive and able to get the job done in a warm and professional manner. She brings intelligence, integrity and empathy to each interaction.

I was unaware that many of the options provided even existed, so the information Michelle provided was incredibly valuable.

Before I had a lot of doubts and not a lot of confidence or information on what exactly I wanted to do. After our meeting, I had better clarity.

I loved it! It didn't feel like I was talking to a stranger. I felt really welcomed.

“Electric Parasol has supported my business in so many wonderful ways. Michelle has designed and implemented our internal electronic filing system to be uniform, streamlined and easy to use. We were also able to roll a client portal function into this system. We have had some great brainstorming sessions that have integrated into our SOP's which have added extra value and integrity for our team and our clients. Michelle has also researched, thoroughly, and tirelessly and helped us implement a system that serves as a CRM, VoiP and automation driver. I am looking forward to all the great projects to come from our collaboration.”

“Michelle from Electric Parasol was fantastic to work with! She understood the tech issues that I was struggling with and organized a solution with collaborator Shawn. He resolved my email issue in about a minute and then fixed the social icons on our Shopify site to open in another window, which he had to do by organizing me to type in a bit of code, something I hadn’t done before. He was great to deal with and very patient with me. Definitely recommend this team!

Michelle is so much more than an average Virtual Assistant. I was blown away by how much creativity she puts into managing administrative tasks that by definition are far from creative... And yet, she comes up with out-of-the-box, unique solutions to set up and automate processes. I run a creative and rather unique business (book design studio) and Michelle gets my vision, embraces it and makes a trusted partner working WITH me, not for me. I love it! I feel the synergy while working with Michelle and our brainstorming sessions are amazing - I can throw all my ideas and she helps to pick the best ones and break them down into easy steps that bring me closer to the goal.”

“We started with the 1:1 Synergy Sessions. This is the best thing to start with because Michelle helped me have a better understanding of where I wanted to go and made my brain spark with many interesting ideas that she brought to the table. Before the session, I had a lot of doubts and a lack of confidence or information on what exactly I wanted to do.  After our meeting, I had better clarity aiming towards my bucket list goals and ideas of where to begin.”

R&P Consulting Engineers

Michelle Guillet of Electric Parasol and I crossed paths during an online Artificial Intelligence Certification course offered by Brain Station, where we joined forces for our final presentation. Our collaboration sparked both a business and personal connection, revealing a shared set of interests and values. A few months later, I brought Michelle on board as Operations Manager at R&P Consulting Engineering to leverage her exceptional creativity and organizational skills. This move enhanced our operational efficiency and creative output.
