Your professional reputation is too important to leave to chance
Keynotes and workshops that help women in business and leadership communicate their value, build their professional presence, and become more visible, recognized, and chosen for opportunities that advance their careers and businesses
Become Known for What You Know
Your personal brand is more than what you post online. It’s how you introduce yourself, communicate your value, share your ideas, build relationships, show up in the room, and increasingly, how you’re discovered online and through AI.
Every touchpoint shapes what people know, remember, and say about you, even when you're not in the room.
Michelle helps women in business and leadership become more intentional about their professional reputation so they can stand out for what they bring, advocate for their value, and become known for the work, expertise, and ideas they want associated with their name.
Because when people understand what you bring to the table, you’re easier to remember, recommend, and choose when opportunities arise.

SIGNATURE PERSONAL BRANDING KEYNOTE #1

Start Being Seen: The Power and Payoff of Putting Yourself Out There
Whether you're leading a team, building a business, launching a new idea, or stepping into your next level in your career, the fear underneath is often the same.
You wonder if you're ready.
You second-guess yourself.
You overthink. You wait.
Meanwhile, people and opportunities don't wait.
Drawing from her personal journey and signature P.Y.O.T. (Put Yourself Out There) philosophy, Michelle shares the mindset shifts that helped her move from years of hesitation to becoming a TEDx speaker, author, community leader, and founder.
Through powerful storytelling, practical strategies, and a refreshing perspective on imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and the perils of "The Judgment Monster," Michelle shows audiences how to stop waiting for permission and start showing up for the opportunities they're already capable of pursuing.
Because the biggest opportunities rarely come with an invitation. They begin the moment you're willing to put yourself out there.
Audience Transformation + Takeaways
Women leave with more than inspiration; they leave with activation and transformation to take greater ownership of the opportunities they want, put themselves and their ideas forward before everything feels perfect, and take the next visible step in their careers, businesses, and leadership.

SIGNATURE PERSONAL BRANDING KEYNOTE #2

Start Being Seen: Turn What You Know Into What You’re Known For
Your personal brand is being built every day through how you communicate, contribute, connect, and show up. The question is: Are you being intentional about what people know and remember you for?
In this energizing and actionable keynote, TEDx speaker and personal brand + PR strategist Michelle B. Griffin helps women take greater ownership of their professional reputation by getting clear on what they want to be known for, communicating what makes them valuable and different, and showing up where it matters.
Michelle challenges the idea that personal branding is about logos, titles, posting constantly, or becoming an influencer. Instead, your personal brand is how people experience, understand, and remember the value you bring across every touchpoint.
Through relatable stories, audience interaction, and practical takeaways, Michelle introduces her Define Your L.A.N.E.™ framework to help women clarify where they’re going, articulate what makes them different, communicate their value, and become more intentional about where and how they show up.
Audience Transformation + Takeaways
Women leave with a clearer understanding of what they want to be known for, how to communicate the value they bring, and how to build a professional presence that makes them easier to remember, recommend, and choose.
Most importantly, they leave ready to put it into action.
