“Have you ever had a moment of clarity that was so clear, it was astonishing? 

Maybe it happens once in a blue moon, if you are lucky.  

So, imagine that these moments are common, regular events.  

It’s like finding gold nuggets lying on the ground, and all you have to do is pick them up. That’s what working with Vast is like.  

Hunting and finding nuggets of clarity – that are truly precious, and of immeasurable value. I am pretty good at finding the right words, but Vast takes it to the next level, bringing clarity and delight with ease. 

Thank you, Michelle, for all that you do.  The wisdom you share, your expertise in coaching, and your giving nature.  You are an outstanding human being, at the very center of the Vast Institute.

Overwhelmingly appreciative”

Bryce Matsuoka - CEO Above Cloud Cybersecurity

“Working with Michelle Sherman, founder of the Vast Institute had uncovered strengths and ‘next-time-opportunities’, I did not know I had.  Gaining insights about being courageous, about trusting the process of growth and being courageous in speaking my truth, has given me clarity.  

Practicing her methodology of how to assess situations, people and policies has given me confidence that influence is more powerful than control.  

With clarity and confidence, I am demonstrating more creativity in my field of work, than I have in years.  What differentiates VAST is that the sessions allow you to uncover your true, kind-hearted self, which is what our organizations and our world needs”.

 “The Vast Institute imaginative approach boosted my confidence. It helped me to redefine success on my own terms and in ways I could not have imagined on my own.

With the clarity I gained working with Vast I was able to start a successful solo practice, leaving behind the unsupportive environment of law firms.

I am forever grateful for the inspiration and fresh perspective, professionally and personally that my affiliation with Vast has afforded”.

Maggy Bailly - Bailly Law Firm

“Thank you for showing me an example of strong energy and the opportunity to translate it differently than I had before. You helped me to dislodge fear that was previously attached to strong energy. You were an Integral part in my understanding of stronger energy and how not to be afraid of it. A very important and beautiful part and I am grateful to you for this.

I see you, you are beautiful and thank you for what you have done and what you continue to do consciously and unconsciously to help the light. Keep singing sister, keep singing the song of love. 

Sing it sister!”

She's got the tools if you'll bring the intention. Put these together and truly inspired action is essentially inevitable."

"Michelle is the real deal. I've known her a long time. In addition to having been a great support to me and my own endeavors, I've seen her support many, many others in their success, over and over. You're in good hands."
