Hi 👋🏻 I’m Channing Muller and you have found your non-boring, but still educational, keynote speaker.

Unlike a lot of motivational keynote speakers with their “you can do it!” messages lacking true takeaways, I approach every talk with tactical steps to help your attendees actually achieve the goals outlined.

There is a single principle that drives the way I approach communications as a whole, both with clients and as a speaker:

It is 100% possible to present educational, thought provoking and motivating material while entertaining your audience.

The way I present ensures your event attendees stay engaged and walk away with tangible next steps to apply to their professional lives – no matter if I am speaking to them in-person, virtual, or listening via a livestream or podcast.

If you do any public speaking then you will instantly see Michelle as a role model. Her style is warm and engaging, and while fast paced, never rushed. As an audience member, I was plugged-in from the beginning to the end, and certainly could have listened much longer. But it’s not just about style. The subject clearly matters to Michelle, and I immediately gained an appreciation of how important it is to me. I’m already applying some of the techniques she taught us.

Michelle is a true force to be reckoned with; her energy, passion and intelligence shine through in her programs.
