Transformational Leadership Expert
Your message has evolved.
Has your speaker footage?
You've grown as a speaker.
Your ideas are juicy. Your delivery is engaging. Your connection with the audience is magnetic.
But if your photos and videos are five, ten, or fifteen years old, they may no longer reflect the powerful speaker you've become.
Capturing great speaker footage isn't easy...
Most speakers run into the same challenges:
Hiring your own professional production team can cost tens of thousands of dollars
Event organizers often don't allow professional filming
When they do, the footage is poorly lit, badly framed, or otherwise unusable
Cameras may capture the room, but not the energy and authority you bring to the stage.
That's exactly why
Performance Academy
exists
Over four intentionally designed days, you’ll refine your existing talk, step onto a professionally produced stage, and deliver your message in an environment built specifically to capture powerful video and photography. Additional pre-event support is also included so you walk in even more prepared.
No scrambling to coordinate production • No relying on event organizers to provide usable footage • No settling for photos and video that don't reflect your best work!
For speakers ready for an
Upgrade
Strategically crafted for professional speakers who are ready to shine
Established speakers whose message has evolved and whose footage needs to catch up.
Coaches and consultants who speak as part of their business and want professional marketing assets.
Thought leaders refining or relaunching a signature keynote
Experts preparing for greater visibility on larger stages with bigger opportunities
Professionals who are ready for their presence, footage and platform to reflect the quality of their work.
"Everything is thought of. We just have to show up and do our part (which is write our speech, learn our speech). It's one of my favorite events!"

What happens at Performance Academy
Participants come together in a small, supportive group of high-level professionals who are committed to sharpening their message, strengthening their stage presence, and expanding their impact.
For those who want additional preparation, a limited number of participants can also join Michelle for an intensive pre-performance workshop to refine their keynote before stepping onto the stage.
After 4 days of workshopping, rehearsing, and performing, you’ll walk away with:
Stage footage shot with 4 professional cameras, perfect for reels, sizzle videos, speaker clips, etc
Interview footage shot with 2 cameras, to showcase your thought leadership and authority
Professional headshots and stage photography for your website, speaker kit, and media features
All raw footage, in addition to live-to-tape footage, to re-edit and reuse for future launches, programs, or promotions
Real-time stage coaching to help you shape, sharpen, and powerfully deliver your message
A powerful activation of your fullest expression and leadership.
As a professional keynote speaker, I know that I always need new footage, better footage, and a new sizzle reel. What I love about this event that Michelle put together is that I'm walking away with new pics, interview footage, and stage footage in front of a live audience. If you're thinking about coming to this event, if you need footage, this is the place to be!
