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. Stories of how to overcome obstacles, persevere, and achieve success both personally and professionally will be shared and tailored to audience demographics and makeup. 

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! 

Don’t Blame the Person, Fix the Process!

“Fire him.” “Move her.” “We have to get the right people in the right seats.” While sometimes doing these things will give you the results you want and need to move your organization forward, it’s not always the case.

Using unique and relatable examples, this keynote program will engage, enable, and empower audiences to know what questions to ask and learn the difference between whether or not the REAL growth problem can be solved or whether growth opportunities can be achieved by changing the people, or if the underlying process (or root cause) is what truly needs to be fixed.

Want to Remove Roadblocks to Strategy? Change Your Mindset

Roadblocks can be both internal and external. Many well-thought-out growth strategies and plans go nowhere, due to these roadblocks (which can be both seen and unseen). Growth strategy development, planning, and execution have oftentimes been taught and created from a primarily analytical point of view. 

During this keynote, Michelle will share real-world and real-life examples from some of her past clients and companies mesmerizing audiences by how some of the biggest roadblocks were eliminated using the simplest and smallest shifts in both mindset and action. She’ll also share how these shifts helped organizations to achieve growth goals, solve growth problems, and turn the organization around – and how they can do the same.
