Michelle Diamond on the Growth Strategy Development Mindset 

Michelle Diamond’s Speech Topics

  • Mindset: The Real Go/No Go When Developing and Executing Your Growth Strategy

    Mindset. The foundational key to success in both business and life. Many have heard the terms fixed vs. growth mindset, and how that can impact organizations. However, there are multiple types and layers of mindsets that many leaders and executives have that can make the difference between success and failure when it comes to both developing and executing the right growth strategies for your organizations. 

    Using her dynamic and unique perspective through the use of memorable storytelling and humor, while also drawing on examples from her past clients and companies, Michelle will motivate, engage, and challenge audiences to ‘think and act differently’, while also providing practical and actionable insights that can be implemented right away. 

  • Obstacles Are What You See When You Take Your Eyes Off the Goal

    This motivational and inspirational keynote takes audience members through Michelle’s personal journey of being on her own since the age of 16, healing herself of fibromyalgia, her career journey and business accomplishments thus far, mistakes made, and lessons learned.

  • Moving from Bootstrapping to Growth Stage: How to Go From “Gun Slinging Everything” to Having a Real Foundational Growth Strategy to Scale

    In the same way we grow from being a child, adolescent, and then an adult, we also grow as a business. When you are starting out or at a certain level, getting whatever sales you can through referrals, networking, relationships, or happenstance (“bootstrapping”) works. However, when you decide it is time to go to the next level, and want to grow “like the big boys do,” you have to do things differently. 

    During this keynote, Michelle will share real-world and real-life examples from some of her past clients and companies to have audiences inspired and take action based on practical tools and the mental and emotional shifts needed to go to the next level and scale to limitless new heights and beyond! 

  • How Mindset Can Impact Your Organization’s Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data, & Digital Transformation Growth Strategy

    Artificial intelligence (AI), data, and digital transformation are significant components of today’s growth strategies for organizations, both large and small.

    In this keynote program, Michelle Diamond, CEO of Elevate Diamond Strategy, will motivate, engage, and challenge audiences to ‘think and act differently’ while providing practical and actionable profitable insights that can be implemented right away.
