From IT Services to Inspiring IT Professionals
Michelle Alex’s journey into the IT industry began in the late 1980s during the era of IT services giants like IBM, EDS, and Computer Sciences Corporation. Spending 27 years at EDS, she started as a business and systems analyst, learning how systems operate and how to optimize them for customer success.
Her passion for ITIL training and IT professional development grew as she embraced every learning opportunity. With certifications including ITIL 3 and ITIL 4 Master, PMP®, CGEIT, COBIT, and PROSCI, Michelle focuses on helping IT professionals apply knowledge in practical ways.
“For me, it’s all about continual improvement—helping others grow their skills so they can contribute meaningfully to their organizations,” Michelle shares.
Michelle’s training approach blends practical examples with a keen understanding of learner challenges. She creates an environment where IT professionals feel comfortable engaging, asking questions, and applying concepts to real-world scenarios.
Her guiding principle?
“Don’t just take courses to add certifications to your resume—embrace the learning for personal growth and take pride in your achievements.”
Students often describe her sessions as comfortable, engaging, and practical, reflecting her commitment to both learning outcomes and learner experience.
In today’s fast-evolving IT landscape, Michelle sees a mix of excitement and uncertainty. “The biggest change is the fear of the unknown with AI and digital transformation,” she explains.
To bridge theory and practice, Michelle emphasizes real-world application. She guides learners beyond passing exams to implementing IT knowledge in their organizations, drawing heavily on the ITIL 4 Service Value System, which integrates practices through value streams to deliver tangible value for both customers and providers.
Michelle keeps connected to the IT community through conferences, webinars, LinkedIn networking, and teaching. She stays ahead of industry trends by continuing her own education and exchanging insights with peers.
“My mission is to help professionals gain or regain a passion for learning,” she says.
Michelle encourages IT professionals to never stop learning and to focus on practical application rather than just certifications. Training at PassionIT Group is designed to turn theory into contribution, whether through live instructor-led courses, corporate workshops, or on-demand programs.
“I hope my students leave my courses not only with a certification but with the confidence and skills to apply what they’ve learned—and a passion for continuous learning,” Michelle says.
