I’m Michael Thompson, Founder and Principal Consultant of SkillWell Strategies, a learning and development consultancy dedicated to helping small and midsize businesses build stronger teams and leaders. After more than a decade leading training programs at Verizon, I launched SkillWell to make high-impact, practical training accessible to organizations that don’t have a full L&D team in-house.

SkillWell specializes in leadership development, onboarding, sales enablement, and facilitation. My focus is on creating engaging, results-driven programs that strengthen retention, boost performance, and give leaders the confidence and tools to guide their teams effectively. I’m passionate about partnering with business leaders to make learning a true competitive advantage.
