Ready to Become Noticed, Known and Chosen For What You Do Best?

Visible Brand Authority is a 1:1 advisory program for women who are ready to get clear, communicate confidently, and show up where it counts so they’re recognized, booked and trusted across media, stages, AI and their industries.

  • FIND CLARITY
  • Grow VISIBILITY
  • BUILD AUTHORITY


You're Ready for Bigger Opportunities In Your Career or Business...

Are you an established leader, founder, or accomplished expert ready to scale your reach, grow your visibility, and become known as a recognized authority in your field?

While you have. years of experience and people trust you, but too often you’re not the one they think of first, quote first, or invite first.

You might recognize yourself if:

  • You’ve built a serious track record and experience, but your digital presence doesn’t reflect it
  • You stumble or ramble when someone asks, “So, what do you do?”
  • You're known in your world but not in the rooms, stages, or searches that create your next chapter
  • You’re ready for speaking, media, or bigger opportunities but don’t have a clear story or plan to support them.

The Real Problem Most Accomplished Women Face

When you’re so close to your own work, it gets harder to communicate it clearly. Maybe you’ve stumbled to explain what you do, watched less‑qualified people land opportunities you were perfect for, or felt frustrated trying to articulate your value in a way that actually clicks and connects.

Most of us were taught to focus on doing great work and trust that it would speak for itself. We were never really shown how to turn that work into a simple, consistent story people can quickly understand, remember, and repeat.

So what happens?

  • Your social sites, LinkedIn, and website feel vague or scattered
  • Opportunities pass by quietly because people aren’t sure where to place you.
  • AI search and human search both surface others with clearer messages.
  • You stay busy, but not always in the work or rooms you’re meant for

Which leads to the real question: how do you make your value unmistakable, so the right people actually see it and choose it?

Introducing The Visible Brand Authority Program

No more feeling unclear, unsure, or unknown 

What if you had a personalized way to go from stuck to sought‑after? That’s exactly what The Visible Brand Authority™ program is built for: a clear path to position you as the go‑to in your field.

A program designed for:

Corporate Leaders - especially women in leadership and business who are ready to raise their profile, step into thought leadership, and be recognized for promotions, board seats, media and speaking opportunities.

 Entrepreneurial Experts - established founders, consultants, authors, speakers, and executive coaches who want to attract dream clients, land media + podcast features, and get booked on the stages that grow their brand.


What VBA gives you

Imagine what becomes possible when you’re positioned as the go-to in your field:

  • Guest on industry podcasts
  • Land media features and press mentions
  • Speak on respected stages
  • Earn promotions and board invitations
  • Join panels and industry events
  • Attract dream clients and partnerships
  • Show up confidently online and in person
  • Grow your bottom line and greater impact

All of this becomes possible when your expertise is well‑positioned, your message is clear, your presence is credible, and your visibility is consistent.

How VBA Is Different

After seeing too many brilliant leaders and experts struggle with cliché advice, lack of depth, and poorly structured personal branding programs, I developed my own proven four-step foundational system, The Recognition Roadmap,™ to set you up for success.

What makes this different:

Personal. We capture your voice and brilliance, not force you into a formula.
Practical. You leave with messaging, assets, and a roadmap you can use right away.
Premium. A strategic clarity experience built for experts and leaders, not beginners.
Positioning + PR. Not just polish, but a visibility plan to get you booked, featured, and chosen.

Hi, I'm Michelle

We haven’t met yet, but I’m willing to bet this: you’re brilliant at what you do and more of the right people should know about it and benefit from it.

Yet when it comes to stepping out in your industry, you may feel unclear on how to move forward. Perhaps you’re overwhelmed with too many ideas, struggling to articulate your message, or hesitant to put yourself out there.

I know how that feels. I’ve been there myself. As the founder of Brand Leaders and the She's Visible™ movement, I’ve made it my mission to help women leaders and experts own their lane, amplify their authority, and become the ones who get booked, featured, and chosen.

With two decades in communications and PR, a master’s degree, and years advising leaders and entrepreneurs, I’ve seen firsthand what happens when smart, capable women finally gain the clarity and confidence to put themselves out there: opportunities start coming to them.

The result? Clarity, direction, and momentum so you get recognized for the work you love and the impact you’re here to make.

    How I'm Different as a Personal Brand Strategist

    Own Your Lane with Michelle B Griffin

    I believe we all have gifts, experience, and a message that can truly impact others. But when people don’t see, hear, or understand your value, it’s almost impossible to make the mark you’re meant to.

    That’s why I approach personal branding as service-based visibility, not fluff, clichés, or cookie-cutter templates. Too many brilliant women in leadership and business feel unseen and held back from pursuing their next-level goals and dreams. That’s why I created my proven four-step foundational system: a repeatable roadmap to position your value, master your message, and build a visibility plan that gets you seen and chosen, faster.

    With 20+ years in PR, marketing communications, and executive leadership, I’ve guided Fortune 500s, startups, and thought leaders to sharpen their message, elevate visibility, and grow their careers & businesses.

    With me, you’re not just getting a personal brand advisor, you’re getting the depth of five experts in one: brand builder, messaging mentor, copywriting coach, marketing strategist, and PR pro. Plus your #1 cheerleader! 

    Find Alignment

    Understanding the unique role you play in the marketplace can feel daunting. I guide you through a proven positioning system in clear, simple terms that you and others can quickly grasp.

    Gain Visibility

    Getting clear on the value you provide is only one half of the journey. Enjoy an easy process to successfully showcase your expertise and then amplify your reach and message.

    Build Authority

    When you're so close to what you do, it's difficult to find a clear perspective. I walk my clients through a personal branding framework with targeted questions to ensure objectivity.

    Amplify Reach 

    Without a roadmap for your personal brand success, it's easy to spin your wheels. My proven system will advance your brand to land clients and opportunities to grow your business.

    VBA Program Investment

    Clarity and authority don’t have to take months. In just a few sessions, you’ll walk away with the positioning, message, assets, and roadmap to step into the clarity you crave and the visibility you deserve.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Here are the most common questions on VBA. If you don’t see yours here, please reach out.

    How long is the VBA program?

    The Visible Brand Authority Accelerator is built for busy leaders, subject matter experts and entrepreneurs and usually runs 4–6 weeks, depending on your schedule. You’ll walk away with total clarity, refined messaging, and your personalized Recognition Roadmap™ Guidebook, which you can use long after our work together.

    How do I know if VBA is right for me?

    VBA is a good fit if:
    •You have at least one solid chapter of work behind you, and you’re ready for a more visible one ahead.
    •You’re willing to be honest, reflective, and decisive about where you’re going.
    •You want a plan and a partner, not just more information or templates.

    It’s probably not a fit if:
    •You’re just starting out and still testing what you want to do.
    •You’re looking for a social media growth or “go viral” program.
    •You’re not ready to carve out a few focused hours and make decisions.

    What exactly will I walk away with?

    You’ll leave with your Recognition Roadmap™, a personalized, polished guidebook and toolkit designed to move with you into every conversation, pitch, and opportunity. It includes:

    • Your clarified positioning and core message
    • A clear story and value language for bios, intros, and media
    • Visibility and PR strategy essentials
    • Recommendations and next steps to help you grow your brand and recognition

    Please Note:
    The Accelerator is a done-with-you strategic program focused on positioning, messaging, branding, and PR strategy.
    Graphic design, logos, full LinkedIn profile writing, content strategy, website development, copywriting, or PR pitching are not included, but I’ll connect you with trusted pros if you need help implementing.

    How much of my time will this take?

    Just a few hours across our sessions. Between calls, I handle the heavy lifting, capturing your words, shaping your message, and packaging everything inside your Roadmap so you can focus on your day-to-day while still making visible progress.

    Do I need to prepare anything beforehand?

    No long homework list! I’ll guide you with the right questions and capture your answers live. If you already have bios, headshots, or other materials, you can upload them to your private client folder before we start.

    How is this different from other branding programs?

    Most programs give you theory or coaching. This one gives you a product you can use immediately: your Recognition Roadmap.™ It’s a focused, collaborative process that captures your story, message, and positioning so you’re seen, sought after, and selected for the right opportunities.

    Will you revise my LinkedIn profile?

    Think of it as a glow up. You’ll leave with clear, optimized messaging for your LinkedIn profile. I’ll help you refine the language and positioning; full profile writing, content writing, and graphics are optional referrals if you’d like deeper help afterward.

    Will you create LinkedIn posts or content for me?

    No, this is a strategy-first foundational program, but you’ll walk away with a vault of ready-to-use topics, angles, and talking points you can apply across LinkedIn, speaking and media.

    Will I have clarity in my vision and know how to articulate it?

    Absolutely. That’s the entire goal. You’ll finish our work together with total clarity on your vision, voice, and message and the confidence to talk about what you do in any setting, from boardrooms to podcasts.

    Who is the Program For?

    VBA is for experts, leaders, and entrepreneurs. Whether you’re growing your career inside an organization or leading your own business, this process helps you get noticed, chosen, and featured.

    What’s the investment and payment structure?

    The investment is $2.500. You can pay in full or split it 50/50, half at the start, half before the delivery of your final Recognition Roadmap™.

    What happens after I book?

    Once we confirm it’s a great fit, you’ll get a welcome guide with payment and scheduling details. From there, we move through your sessions and wrap up with your final guidebook reveal.

    What if I want more support afterward?

    I offer Power Hours and advisory retainers if you’d like continued guidance or implementation support once your Roadmap is complete.

    Ready to Be Recognized and Chosen for What You Do Best?

    If this sounds like the program you need for your next level, let's chat on a brief call to ensure this is the right next move for you. I look forward to meeting you and learn about your work, your goals, and where you feel stuck. 

    Because unseen, unclear, and unknown people can’t change the world, and you and your brilliance deserve to be seen.
