Michelle is a speaker, author, coach, entrepreneur, and an ever-evolving Badass Leader. The people-part can be the most challenging for many leaders. It certainly was for her. Her wake-up call came in the form of a cataclysmic leadership failure. She very quickly learned to appreciate the profound impact an unconscious leader has on people, teams, and organizational health and performance.  The significance and value of a team became abundantly clear, as did the critical importance and necessity for her to immediately begin evolving as a leader. This painfully humbling experience (which she affectionately refers to as #TheSuck) set the course correction for what would become a lifelong hunger for leadership growth and contribution - a self prescribed reparation in many ways, shared through her 12 Leadership Lessons.  Early in her leadership journey, she was an absolute ASS as a boss, oblivious to the impact she was having on people! Perhaps, like many of you, she didn’t understand how to lead. Michelle looks forward to sharing her thrills of victory & agonies of defeat, with a goal of helping you unlock the art of leading like a Badass!

Authenticity is a critical component to connecting with others and creating an emotional connection.  But, there are times when we may need to put a little technique into our authentic selves.  Some may refer to this as acting. I am not saying we should pretend to be someone else while we're trying to make that next sale, or close that next big deal or even create that next compelling piece of content.  But, understand the craft of acting could help you leverage the power of storytelling in ways that will make you more memorable, more relatable, and even more authentic. Based on Michelle Danner’s last 30 years of supporting both A-List and up and coming actors to fulfill their maximum potential, film director and international acting coach Michelle Danner has distilled the best ideas and practices of the major acting techniques; Stella Adler, The Sanford Meisner, Lee Strasberg, Uta Hagen, Chekhov, & Stanislavsky so artists can draw upon them and utilize the strengths of each. Every actor is unique, so you will learn to form a toolbox of your own, your very own “Golden Box”. Through studying Michelle Danner’s acting technique you will accumulate a comprehensive set of “acting tools” you can use when approaching a role or a scene, whether it be for film, television, theater or business.
