Wake up your RightBrain

Coaching & workshops for creativity, confidence, communication & growth

RightBrain (noun)

A state of being that values creativity, spontaneity, imagination, innovation and expressive communication—seamlessly integrated with practical, goal-oriented achievement.

Get Creative

RightBrain Consulting is founded by Michael Goldfried, who utilizes performance training and improvisation techniques in private coaching, workshops and trainings. His work ignites creativity, confidence and collaboration—in other words, your RightBrain. 

Integrate. Though Michael’s focus is developing right brain skills and thinking, he values the integration of both sides of the brain, offering creative tools to ‘yes, and’ what already works for you—furthering the goal of optimal performance, enhanced productivity and joyful teamwork. 

Learn to pivot

Our programs teach you how to embrace uncertainty and be at ease with change.
 
The skills of improvisation and acting can be directly applied to work and life challenges, offering you a toolkit for success in an ever-changing world.
 
Michael’s work helps you to flip the script on the unexpected. Instead of fearing or freezing when the unexpected shows up, discover how to pivot with ease to new circumstances. You’ll learn to welcome uncertainty, excited for the fantastic results that come from an authentic response to the unknown.
