Michelle B Griffin
Personal Branding Keynote Speaker | PR Strategist | LinkedIn® Visibility Expert | Author | Advisor | Podcaster | Creator, Own Your Lane Personal Branding System®
I help professionals break free from obscurity and own their voice, value and visibility.
"Own Your Lane" isn’t just my mantra—it’s my mission. With two decades of executive experience in communications, PR and marketing—from Fortune 500 companies to startups—I’ve seen firsthand how visibility and owning your unique value are powerful professional advantages.
I’ve been fortunate to share this message in the media including in Forbes, Inc., Entrepreneur and Authority magazines and weekly on industry podcasts and livestream shows.
But what I love most is speaking and training professionals to confidently articulate and communicate their uniqueness. Whether working with rising talent or seasoned corporate leaders, I’m passionate about teaching them to step out, stand out, and build impactful personal brands.
Through my Own Your Lane® platform, my books—Position Yourself (publishing Jan. 31, 2025) and The LinkedIn® Branding Book—and with my two podcasts, The LinkedIn® Branding Show and The Own Your Lane® Personal Branding Podcast, I help professionals confidently stand out in their fields and get recognized for the work they love.
When I’m not helping others get visible, you’ll find me outdoors in sunny Florida, walking to fun '80s tunes—trying to "live in the moment," connect with new people, and find inspiration in everyday experiences.
"It was such a pleasure having you as part of our program. We loved your session and found it so informative - especially the approachable way of engaging your presentation. Thanks for your contribution!!
