"Misti has worked her magic over the past year with my
life/work TEAM and was truly the catalyst, that "spark plug" -
if you will - igniting an innovative revolution in our
organization. Whether talking to executives or large audiences,
she connects in a way few do. She is genuine in her approach
which resonates with both Boomers and Millennials. You come
away with a real sense of what needs to be done. This is
Misti's gift."
View Original Letter  K. J. Barrett Captain US Navy "Misti's groundbreaking strategies will cut through the fog of our often distorted theories and folklore about the hopelessness of intergenerational communication as she paints memorable pictures using authentic examples while speaking with such clarity that you will remember not only the illustrations, but also how to apply those models in other circumstances." View Original Letter TIM OVERSTREET, DML Associate Dean of Logistics Executive Development US Army Logistics Management College "You were such an engaging facilitator at the Management Leadership Team Meeting I recently attended. Your 'incredible energy and disarming manner' allowed many attending the session to open up and disclose their true feelings regarding how we could better improve relations with members outside our own age or race demographics…" William E. Sapp Sales Center Vice President DOD/Air Force AT&T Government Solutions "Misti Burmeister is an asset for any corporation or professional organization. Her skills at intergenerational training are needed by most as the workforce changes. Misti coaches young professionals, women and executives. She engages, builds the energy and the desire to execute as a team. Her work means millions of dollars in increased workforce productivity." Edie Fraser, CEO and Founder, Diversity Best Practices and BWN "Misti is as dedicated and passionate about her craft as one can be. The only thing that can possibly rival those traits is the amazing amount of energy she brings into a room. I'm constantly waiting for her to burst into flames! If your organization has a cut in its 'line', Misti is the Master Splicer you need." Guy Timberlake Chief Visionary, American Small Business Coalition "After a few weeks at a job that looked like it was very quickly going nowhere, I met with Misti and began seeing my job as an opportunity…" DJ Frazier Student, George Mason University "She was fantastic. Very well put together and made an excellent presentation, both interesting and engaging." Lori Addicks VP Career Development, Post Properties "Misti is truly an inspirational person who challenges me to be authentic. A true coach by all definitions, full of encouragement yet willing to call your bluff. She is challenging me to be better today than yesterday and make a difference in people’s lives." Group Sales Manager, AT&T “Misti helped me see things and people differently. Not only did she make me
see work situations as opportunities and not road blocks, she also helped me
work through various aspects of my position. She taught me how to look at me
differently. Through books she has asked me to read, organization skills she
has helped me apply, journaling and goal setting I am learning about me. I
believed in my leadership skills before but now, I know I am a great leader that
has a huge amount of talent to apply to any situation/position. I am looking
forward to Misti working with me in 2007 on my new expanded team. Misti will
help me expand on my talents as a leader in AGS and sharpen those skills to make
me more effective as months pass. Misti challenges me to be a better me in all
aspects of my life which in turn makes me a more effective person overall.”
Group Sales Manager, AT&T
“I now can see how my focus in life was moving away from some of the things that
really matter to me – family, friends, relationships, spiritual life, personal
interests, etc. My schedule was controlling me instead of me controlling my
schedule. By recognizing the things that matter to me most I can better balance
my whole life. That makes me a more effective leader, employee, mother, wife,
friend, etc.”
Client Business Manager, AT&T “... I find that I am taking a more strategic approach to my business
conversations both internally and externally. While I am familiar with the
skills and lessons discussed in these session, I have found that as a result of
my time with Misti, I am now asking questions like "what do I hope to accomplish
from this conversation" prior to beginning my dialogue. This tactic alone has
had a noticeable impact on my communications professionally and personally. In
addition, the coaching that she has provided in the way of time management and
task preparation have allow me to improve the efficiency level in my day to day
activities. I would without a doubt recommend the Inspirion program as
time well spent.” Client Business Manager, AT&T

At age 24, Misti Burmeister quit an unfulfilling job as a government contractor with no work lined up and $37 to her name. Living in Washington, D.C., where she didn’t know anyone, she had to scramble for a plan – quickly. After literally picking herself up off the ground she saw two choices: sit there and wallow or stand up and do something. During this transition, she conducted more than 150 informational interviews in just six month to finally discover her passion – generational diversity in the workplace. She had the foresight to realize what an important issue this would (and has) become as Boomers begin to retire and organizations begin competing in the war for talented young professionals, who are entering the workforce in much lower numbers than previous generations. Burmeister saw an opportunity to help companies and their people learn to navigate the generational divide – and retain young people, known for changing jobs almost as easily as they change shoes. So at age 25, she started Inspirion Inc. to make a difference.
