Michela Quilici accepted into Forbes Coaches Council

Michela Quilici, CEO at MQ Consulting and Business Training, Inc. has been accepted into the Forbes Coaches Council, an invitation-only community for leading business and career coaches.

Michela joins other Forbes Coaches Council members, who are hand-selected, to become part of a curated network of successful peers and get access to a variety of exclusive benefits and resources, including the opportunity to submit thought leadership articles and short tips on industry-related topics for publishing on Forbes.com.

Forbes Councils combines an innovative, high-touch approach to community management perfected by the team behind Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC) with the extensive resources and global reach of Forbes. As a result, Forbes Council members get access to the people, benefits and expertise they need to grow their businesses — and a dedicated member concierge who acts as an extension of their own team, providing personalized one-on-one support.

“I am excited about the value that this community brings forward not only to its members but to business leaders, business professionals and readers of Forbes.com. I look forward to supporting and contributing my knowledge and expertise to this global business community,” says Michela.

Scott Gerber, founder of Forbes Councils, says, “We are honored to welcome Michela Quilici into the community. Our mission with Forbes Councils is to curate successful professionals from every industry, creating a vetted, social capital-driven network that helps every member make an even greater impact on the business world.”
