M is for Michelle
Creating
Creating content, written, visual, physical creating is my art. Especially with limited elements or ingredients, the challenge to create something new within set parameters is as fun as going outside the box. I can bring the things from inside the box, outside the box. Creating a brand, a post, a room, a speech, a dinner, anything, and everything.
Talking
I have theater in my genes, my mom directed community theater and my dad was a hobby magician. I learned presentation in a big way. Put me on a stage and I glow! Reaching my audience with compassion and humor while giving unique and confident content on topics ranging from branding to how to paint a giant living room wall deep aubergine, I always find the interesting angle.
My Do-s List
I do interviews audio, video, or in person.
I do live Q & As.
I will promote it on my Instagram stories.
I will take part in a summit of speaker series as long as there is a diverse line-up of speakers or guest experts.

- Do I need to control the narrative and build my personal brand?
