Brand Audit - connecting the head with the heart

Memories are the link between our past experiences and the present, that can be triggered by a thought, word, smell, even an ad on TV. Did you know that in our brain we have one centre for rational thinking and five emotion centres. It only takes a 12th of a millisecond for our emotion sensors to react.
As providers of the brand experience and creators of memories, no matter what your product or service offering is, you need to connect the head and the heart, having your customers experience the emotion, not just be exposed to it.
It is about you making a promise to the customer and following through on that promise, creating a lasting impression.
With over two decades in business Michelle brings her wealth of knowledge and experience, understanding that at times you just can’t wait for evolution you have to be a revolutionist.
In this presentation Michelle will share tips and strategies on:
• Brand audit and actions
• Competitor Analysis
• How to own your brand

Intentional Leadership - how to step up not on

Moving up from frontline to management is a role sought out by many, once achieved it can at times have you feeling “caught in the middle,” with peers who were once your friends waiting for you to make a mistake or expecting favouritism while managers scrutinise your every move without providing the support they promised.
Developing your skills as a caring and intentional leader are critical and it starts from day 1 as your behaviours and actions are being watched by your team. Don’t choose the path of least resistance or believe what others think about your abilities. Take control of your life’s journey and choose the life you want and deserve in your role as a leader.
Once you’re aware of your true potential, it is the goals that you set in place that achieve your purpose in life.
This presentation will take you on a journey to seize the opportunities in your life, seeking them out, even creating them by stepping up with confidence.

VIP Guest Experience

Success in the hospitality industry is first and foremost about service and a memorable guest experience.
Too often venues are amazing on the outside attracting guests, however, on the inside they do not meet or exceed the guests’ expectation because the team are not connected with the vision and values of the organisation. Instead the service is “lack lustre” from the lack of acknowledgement, information and focus on the guests needs.
With over two decades of research working closely with the hospitality industry globally, Michelle shares real life case scenarios from the industry and equips you with some building blocks for the improvement journey.
These include;
• Gathering customer “intelligence”
• Importance of a marketing strategy
• Leadership and team dynamics
• Measuring and evaluating success
• Building connections with your guests

Using an analogy of the “Handbag of Life” as a support capsule Michelle will share with you tips and strategies drawing from her real- life experiences as a daughter, mum, nanna and successful businesswomen since 1994, along with memorable prompts for survival and moreover success.
As a woman you are encouraged to look at your handbag of unique inner qualities and draw inspiration from them. Michelle’s delivery style is energetic, fun and authentic.
