“I really want to do this. But I’m scared.” Have you ever said that about an idea you couldn’t stop thinking about?

Jenni Arnold did. Today, she’s the founder of Human Kind Intelligence, leading workshops, speaking at conferences, and getting calls from local news to share her AI expertise.

But this started with a much smaller moment: saying her idea out loud in a room of women who encouraged her to pursue it.

Jenni joins me to share what happened after that conversation at one of my LinkedIn events. We talk about the first ask she was terrified to make, the confidence she built along the way, and the growing pains that made her question how she wanted to run her business.

Her story brings Put Yourself Out There, the philosophy behind my Start Being Seen™ keynotes and workshops, to life. You take a purposeful step, learn from what happens, and build the confidence to take the next one.

If you’ve been waiting to feel ready before pursuing something that matters to you, this conversation may help you make your move.

In this episode:

• The simple outreach that led to her first workshop
• How one opportunity helped her build the confidence to pursue another
• Why getting the help she thought she needed became an unexpected turning point
• What it felt like to see “AI expert” beneath her name on the news
• How she’s finding her voice and taking a stand in a fast-changing industry
• Her advice for women who feel called to something more but haven’t made their move

You don’t have to want an AI business to see yourself in this conversation. Maybe your next step is a book, a career change, a community, or an idea you’ve kept to yourself. Listen to hear how Jenni took hers seriously and started building something of her own.

“I’m living my dream.”

That’s what Dr. Tekeisha Zimmerman told me before we recorded this episode. Just months earlier, she had left a 20-year corporate career with big ambitions and one question: How do I connect everything I do so people understand what makes me different?

That’s the work we did together in Visible Brand Authority, my one-on-one VIP personal branding program for accomplished women ready to become known for their expertise and pursue bigger opportunities. You’ll hear how we clarified her personal brand, strengthened her message, and helped her put her expertise forward to pursue her dreams of speaking and growing her new business.

Today, she’s attracting speaking invitations and clients, preparing for her first international keynote, and pursuing a TEDx stage she once hesitated to apply for.

What changed? Tekeisha takes us inside the experience, including the moment things clicked and the moves she made next.

In this episode:

• Why an accomplished career can still leave you struggling to explain your value
• What helped Tekeisha connect the different sides of her work
• How clarity changed her confidence and the opportunities she pursued
• What happened when she invested in herself and put herself out there
• Why her story may change how you see what’s possible for you

If you’ve been wondering what you could do with your experience beyond where you are today, listen to Tekeisha’s story. You may recognize yourself in where she started.

If podcast guesting is on your visibility to-do list or if you ever find yourself rambling when it matters most this one is for you.

We are wrapping up Podcast Visibility Month with a skill that goes way beyond podcasting. Whether you are being interviewed on a show, presenting to leadership, sitting on a panel, in a performance review, or on a Zoom call how you communicate your ideas clearly and compellingly is everything.

And the skill underneath all of it is the same, Sound bites.

In this solo episode I am breaking down exactly what a sound bite is, why most people ramble, and how to communicate in a way that makes people lean in, remember you, and want to hear more. Plus the sixth grade story that changed how I communicate forever.

In this episode:

• Why the most memorable communicators are not necessarily the smartest people in the room
• The three reasons most of us ramble  and how to stop
• A simple three part formula that makes every answer land cleanly
• The sixth grade story that changed how I communicate forever
• Why silence is not awkward  it's actually your superpower
• How to start practicing this today with one simple exercise
• The Gemini NotebookLM trick that will surprise you

This is not just for podcast guests. This is for every woman who wants to speak more confidently in meetings, advocate for herself in a performance review, pitch a new idea, or simply be remembered in any room she walks into.

DM me on LinkedIn and tell me where do you most need this skill right now? I'd love to hear from you.

If podcast guesting is on your visibility to-do list but you don't know how to pitch or where to even start, this episode is your guide.

Podcast guesting is one of the most powerful visibility moves you can make right now. You get in front of someone else's audience, build instant credibility, and that episode lives forever in search, including AI search.

And I know this from both sides of the mic. As a host who gets pitched constantly and as a guest who has appeared on countless shows, I'm sharing the four things you need to do to go from overlooked to booked.

We cover:

• Why most pitches miss the mark and what to do instead
• The research move most people skip that changes everything
• How to find your fresh take, the angle that makes a host say yes
• What your pitch actually needs to say and what to leave out
• The etiquette that separates the guests who get booked from the ones who don't

DM me on LinkedIn and tell me: are you pitching podcasts yet? I'd love to hear from you.

Everyone says they want to start a podcast. But then... they don't. Maybe it's the tech. Maybe it's the fear of getting it wrong or not knowing where to even begin. 

No matter what's been holding you back, this episode will help you get going

Guest Julie DeLucca-Collins is back for part two of our Podcast Visibility Month series, and this time we're talking about what it actually takes to launch and host your own show. Julie has had her own podcast for six years, produces her own show solo, and helps women launch and grow their podcasts. 

Between the two of us, we have been doing this for over a decade combined, and we are giving you the real talk and actionable tips so more women like you pick up the mic!

In this episode:

• Why you should decide what your podcast is about before you ever touch cover art
• The SEO mistake Julie made with her show name  and how to avoid it
• How to choose the right format: solo, guest interviews, or both
• The truth about video podcasting versus audio and what actually works
• Why Descript is the tool both of us recommend for recording and editing
• How to plan episodes so you never run out of ideas
• The real reason most podcasts die at seven episodes  and how to not be one of them
• How to create a red thread that keeps listeners coming back episode after episode

If you have been wanting to guest on podcasts but don't know where to start, how to pitch, or what to do once you land the show, this episode is your masterclass.

As part of this month's Podcast Visibility Month, I'm interviewing Julie DeLucca-Collins, who's hosted her own podcast for years, has been on 100s of podcast shows herself, and runs a podcast agency with her husband. 

As both podcast hosts and avid guests on shows, we've teamed to share all of it so you don't have to learn the hard way.

In this episode:

• Why guesting is the smartest first move before you ever start your own show
• The number one mistake guests make that makes hosts never want to have them back
• How to research shows and pitch yourself in a way that actually gets a yes
• What to include in your pitch to make the host's job easy and your answer obvious
• The cardinal sin of podcast guesting and the guest who did it 287 times in 40 minutes
• How to use Gemini NotebookLM to research shows and find your perfect pitch angle
• What to do before, during, and after the episode to make the most of every appearance
• Why thank you goes further than you think and the etiquette most guests skip

Plus Julie shares her Spotify playlist tip for turning every past appearance into ongoing visibility. That one is gold.

It's a new month, and I'm calling it Podcast Visibility Month (which pairs so well with International Podcasting Day on September 30th)

Because lately I've had so many women ask me the same question: "Michelle, how do I get on podcasts?"

Whether you have a corporate job, run your own business, or are a subject matter expert, author, or speaker, podcasting is a powerful visibility channel for you.

This kickoff episode explores why podcasting matters more than ever right now. And what's coming this month to help you get started.

In this episode:

• Why podcasting builds instant credibility and trust in a way social media simply can't
• Why a podcast episode outlasts and outperforms any social media post
• How podcasting feeds your AI visibility and keeps you searchable and findable long after recording
• Why appearing on someone else's show gives you instant third-party authority
• How podcasting opens doors to relationships, referrals, and opportunities you'd never find otherwise
• Why you don't need your own show to start guesting is one of the best PR moves you can make right now

Plus, a sneak peek at everything coming this month: topics, pitching, do's and don'ts, interview prep, and how to turn one episode into lasting visibility.

You know you need to get out there. You're ready. But something keeps stopping you.

Maybe it's LinkedIn. Maybe it's speaking. Maybe it's pitching yourself as a podcast guest. Maybe it's finally launching that big thing you've been working on for months.

Whatever it is, this episode is for you.

Because I've been there. More times than I'd like to admit. And what I've learned after years of working through it myself and with clients is this, we don't need another certification, another course, or more time. 

We don't need to wait for someday. Someday is not a day on the calendar. You have everything you need right now.

In this episode:

• Why the thing stopping you isn't what you think it is
• The reframe from my TEDx talk that makes showing up so much easier
• How to give yourself runway before you put yourself out there
• The nano steps that make the hard part feel way less hard
• The one question to ask yourself before this episode ends

And I'm leaving you with one simple action. Just one. Because that's how it starts.

If this resonated, share it with a woman in your world who's been sitting on the sidelines waiting until everything feels ready. She needs to hear this.

DM me on LinkedIn and tell me — what is the one thing you've been putting off that you're going to take action on this week?

If you've been feeling ready to put yourself out there but something keeps stopping you, this episode is for you.

I've been there too. And I hear it constantly from the women I work with. You're ready. You know you have something to offer. But something just keeps getting in the way.

Here's what I want you to know. It's not a visibility problem. It's a clarity problem. And that is so much easier to fix.

I'm walking you through five questions that will unlock your personal brand, get you unstuck, and help you finally show up in a way that feels like you.

In this episode:

• Why putting yourself out there feels so hard and the simple reframe that changes everything
• Why visibility is not vanity; it's an act of service and a business asset
• The five questions that will help you get clear before you get visible
• Why a narrower lane gets you faster traction than trying to serve everyone
• How clarity leads to visibility and authority, in that order

Grab a pen. You're going to want to write these down.

If this resonated, DM me on LinkedIn and tell me you heard it. I'd love to hear from you.

What if you could take your book, your guide, your speaking topics, your blog posts, everything you've already created and instantly turn it into podcasts, visuals, quizzes, infographics, and more?

That's exactly what I'm sharing in this episode. And it's completely free.

A few weeks ago I was a guest on Gillian Whitney's Easy Peasy Books podcast and dropped what might be my biggest content gem yet: how I accidentally discovered that Google NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook) is the ultimate content amplifier for women experts, founders, authors, and speakers.

The feedback was so good I knew I had to bring it straight to you here.

In this episode:

• What Google NotebookLM actually is and why most people are only using a fraction of what it can do
• The moment I realized this tool was a total game changer for speakers and authors
• How I used it to prepare for a presentation in one afternoon walk with my AirPods
• Every use case you need to know audio podcasts, visuals, slides, quizzes, infographics and more
• How to use your existing body of work to create endless content that gets you seen and chosen

This one is for every woman expert who has more content than time and more brilliance than bandwidth.

A year ago today I stepped onto the red dot and delivered a TEDx talk at my alma mater, Florida State University.

It was one of the highest professional moments of my life. 

And yet the talk has never been released. Let's just call it organizer "technical difficulties" of no fault of my own.

It's a heartbreak I won't pretend doesn't sting. But here's what I know: the idea inside that talk is too important to stay quiet. 

That's why this episode feels so personal. On the one year anniversary of stepping on that red dot, I'm bringing you someone who has spent over a decade on the other side of it, Tessa Rawson, a TEDx organizer across Europe and the US and founder of Resonance, where she coaches speakers to land and deliver their TEDx talks and pitches.

If a TEDx talk is on your vision board, this episode is your starting point.

We discuss:

• The one question every great TEDx idea must be able to answer
• What organizers are actually looking for when they read your application
• The biggest mistake most applicants make and how to avoid it
• Why persistence and patience aren't optional and how long it really takes

And much more.

Part 2 is coming soon all about how to present once you land the spot.

This is the first of my new Visibility Spotlight Series to highlight the mission of the She's Visible™ movement, and I could not have asked for a better guest to kick it off 

Deb Drummond is an ultrapreneur, media company founder and visibility champion from Vancouver, BC who has built seven international companies and now dedicates her platform to getting more women on stages, on screens, and in pages. She is exactly the kind of woman I created this series for someone who has done the work, busted through the fear, and is now raising the bar for every woman listening.

In this episode Deb shares her story, her platforms, and the one mindset shift that changes everything when you're ready to step out but something keeps stopping you.

In this episode:

• The childhood belief that silently kept her from speaking up and how she finally broke through it
• What she does every single morning that gives her the courage to show up
• Why social media alone will never be enough for lasting visibility
• The three platforms she built to get more women seen at scale
• Why AI discoverability is the visibility opportunity women can't afford to ignore right now
• The one thing she tells every woman sitting on the sideline

People aren't going to Google to find experts anymore. They're going to AI.

ChatGPT. Claude. Perplexity. Gemini. Copilot. Decision makers, podcast hosts, event bookers, and potential clients are using these tools to find and recommend experts just like you. And if you're not showing up there, you're invisible in a whole new way.

I know because it happened to me. Starting in January 2025, people began booking calls, telling me they found me through ChatGPT or Claude. And then they hired me. That's when I knew AI visibility wasn't optional anymore.

In this solo episode, I'm introducing something I've been building for you: The Recognition Ready™ AI Visibility Guide for Experts. A 20-page guide that walks you through exactly my framework on what AI needs to find, trust, and recommend you.

In this episode:

• Why AI is now the new search engine and what that means for you
• The three signals AI absolutely needs to recommend you
• Why LinkedIn is more critical than ever
• How to get first-mover advantage right now, before everyone else catches on

If you caught Part 1 last week, you already know Antonia Taylor is my sister in women's visibility. This week, we're back with the six new rules of visibility that will propel you forward this year and beyond.

Antonia and I each brought three rules you can use to stop waiting and start showing up for that ONE thing you're hiding from, holding back on, or hesitant to show up and be seen. Today, not SOMEDAY, is your moment to confidently put yourself out there.

This episode will show you:

• Why visibility starts with how you see yourself before any content plan or strategy
• The clarity practice that works for you AND for AI search
• How to nurture yourself for visibility so it actually sticks
• Why being credible means letting others validate what you already know
• How to find your place of power, the channel that lights you up and works for you
• Why continuity beats perfection every single time

If you've ever held back from putting yourself out there or going after being more visible, this episode is for you.

My guest today is Antonia Taylor, a PR and comms veteran from the UK who got tired of watching brilliant women stay invisible. So she did something about it. She interviewed eight remarkable women leaders, from corporate executives to entrepreneurs, and turned their stories into a stunning white paper called Being Seen.

This week, in Part 1, we share the three areas every woman needs to know about visibility in business and leadership, what it is, why it matters, and how to own it.

Next week in Part 2 we're getting into the six new rules of visibility you need to know for the year ahead.

In this episode:

• The visibility paradox, why staying hidden hurts you, but stepping forward can trigger backlash, and how these women broke through anyway
• Why five out of eight women Antonia interviewed resisted the term "personal brand" even while actively building one
• The difference between performative visibility and service-based visibility (and why one of them will burn you out)
• Why your visibility isn't just about you, it's modeling for every woman watching behind you and looking up to you
• Why you don't need to post on LinkedIn to have a powerful presence there
• The one tip Antonia gives every woman who wants to start getting visible

Hello, friends...

I'm back and I recorded this one on my birthday today (March 11) as a gift to myself. And honestly, to you too.

In this episode, I'm getting real about why I went quiet, what I've been building behind the scenes, and why right now, International Women's Day week 2026 is the perfect time to stop hiding and start showing up.

I share:

• What She's Visible™ is and why I created it...because the world needs more women on stages, featured in pages, and earning better wages
• Why I've been deep diving into AI visibility and why it matters so much for women experts like you
• The honest truth about my own overthinking, perfectionism, and hiding and why I'm done with all of it, and how you can too.
• Why podcasting is still one of the most powerful ways to build real connection in an AI-driven world
• Why now is our time not someday, because there's no someday on a calendar

Want to be seen as an authority in your field? It won't happen with a "do it all, all or nothing" beliefs and behaviors.

Yes, you read that right.

Many high-performing experts and leaders believe working harder and taking on more tasks is the key to recognition and promotion. This often leads to burnout rather than respect or advancement.

If you want to 'own the room," you must "own yourself"—first taking stock of what's important, setting boundaries, focusing on high-impact activities, and creating space to think and lead effectively so your best and brightest self leads the way.

Each episode of the Own Your Lane® Personal Branding Podcast highlights one of the four steps of the Own Your L.A.N.E. personal branding roadmap to help you gain clarity, confidence, and a clear path to growing your influence and impact.

L: Launch Your Vision – Lead with clear intention and purpose
A: Assert Your Difference – Define what uniquely sets you apart
N: Navigate Your Presence – Shape your personal brand foundation
E: Elevate Your Authority – Grow impact and influence with publicity

This week, we're focusing on "L- Launch Your Vision" with host Michelle B Griffin and expert guest Sharon Ehrlich, the CEO and Founder of Living While Leading, a premier executive coaching practice for deep talk, real talk chat for those who want their professional journeys to be on their terms and timelines.

Tune in for the actionable framework and practical ways to own the room and "own your lane" of fulfillment, opportunity, and influence.

Want to write a book to share your business message? But think, "Nah, not me." It's too long and too complicated. Why bother?

Good news: For those who want to share their gifts, brilliance, or message, a mini book is your ticket to sharing your work in months, NOT years.

Each episode of the Own Your Lane® Personal Branding Podcast highlights one of the four steps of the Own Your L.A.N.E. personal branding roadmap to help you gain clarity, confidence, and a clear path to growing your influence and impact.

L: Launch Your Vision – Lead with clear intention and purpose
A: Assert Your Difference – Define what uniquely sets you apart
N: Navigate Your Presence – Shape your personal brand foundation
E: Elevate Your Authority – Grow impact and influence with publicity

This week, we're focusing on "E- Elevate Your Authority" with host Michelle B Griffin and expert guest HR (human resources) consultant and public speaker Gehan "G" Haridy-Ardanowski, founder of Golden Synergy Touch Consulting. Although a book was NOT on her radar, G wrote and published an Amazon #1 bestseller in just four months.

She's here to share her best-selling mini-book for those interested but unsure how to do it. As G says, "This can work even when starting smaller than you think. And it's not as dawning as it needs to be, or they think it should be."

If a business nonfiction book is on your radar, learn how she did it so you can share your wisdom with the world in months, not years.

There's no escaping this truth: People assume you're a leader when you're a strong communicator, speak well, and present well. And they're much likelier to listen to you and buy into your ideas when you're confident and compelling.

That's why honing your skills is critical to being confident on video — whether it's a presentation on Zoom, speaking on stage, on a virtual keynote, serving on a virtual panel, or recording an educational or promotional video for your website or social media feeds.

Learn the 3 Steps to Increase Your Fees Confidently
(𝘴𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩)on how to know, charge, and raise your fees as a woman in business.

I've also been there many times and have learned so much from Chella, who believes that women overthink things, undervalue our service, and give away too much.

It's time to put ourselves at the top of the list.

This week we're featuring Sarah Anto, MBA, CPA, a consultant who empowers female founders preparing to launch their startups.

She details her journey working with me, including how she found fast traction we honed in her unique expertise and thought leadership framework. Sarah shares how her brand positioning, messaging, and thought leadership pillars got her noticed fast---—booking discovery calls and securing media interviews within the first week.
