SPEAKING, WORKSHOPS & TRAINING
Sessions people are still talking about months later.
No death by PowerPoint. Most workshops are forgotten before people are back at their desks. Mine are practical, honest and built to get the room nodding along, thinking "she's talking about me". When people feel seen, they act.
Your audience leaves with one thing they'll actually do on Monday morning, not a notebook full of things they'll forget.
For conferences, franchise networks, chambers, business groups and teams. Every session is tailored to your audience, because no two rooms are the same.

"Michelle was a beacon of enthusiasm and inspiration when she conducted a training on self belief for my team. Everyone felt so empowered and excited to move forward with their businesses after the session. I can't recommend Michelle enough for bespoke tailored training to motivate teams."

TRAINING FOR YOUR TEAM
New Managers Training
Last month they were one of the team. Now they're managing it. Most new managers get a new title, a pay rise and absolutely no idea how to do the job. So they either try to be everyone's mate, or they do all the work themselves because it's quicker.
This training gives them what nobody gave most of us: how to actually lead people.
What they'll leave with
- How to manage people who were their friends last week
- How to have the difficult conversation, not avoid it for three months
- How to delegate properly, instead of doing it all themselves
- How to run a team meeting people don't dread
- The confidence to make a decision and stand by it
Practical, honest and tailored to your business. In person or online, for small teams and larger groups.

The franchisees you're worried about are usually the ones saying they're fine.
The quiet ones. Turning up to conference, smiling on Zoom, telling everyone they're getting on with it. Six months later, they're talking about selling their territory. By then, it's expensive.
Most don't need replacing. They need the right support at the right time: 1:1 work with owners who've stalled, honest insight into which territories can be turned around, and owner development programmes, workshops and conference sessions built around what your franchisees actually need.
I've been a franchisee, worked franchisor-side and sat inside head office, across 17 years in franchising. I speak both languages.
