Michelle Mazur, Ph.D. is hired by
speakers and entrepreneurs to create speaking as profit-center for
their business by building a speech-like product that positions
them as the go-to expert in their field. She is the CEO of
Communication Rebel. She lives in Seattle, WA with her adoring
husband, 2 obsessive felines, and a huge collection of Duran Duran
memorabilia.
Playing Small
Moment
Michelle was taking Debate during
her Junior Year of College and read the judges’ comments on the
ballot while on a trip back home. She saw, in big bold letters, a
capital B and a word that rhymes with witch. That moment ended up
changing her life. She was scared of speaking up which still
plagues her today; Michelle has never shared this story with
another audience before.
The Wake Up
Call
Michelle needed to find her voice;
she was a blogger and didn’t know how to go about showing her
passion in her writing. Michelle attended a conference; the lady at
the beginning tricked and duped the whole audience. She was very
upset, and while the woman was still speaking, Michelle wrote a
rant about “How to Not Be a Motivational Speaker” - it was funny
and cutting. Michelle published it the next day and was waiting for
the backlash. She received an email from someone telling her she
did a great job, and they wanted to hire her as a speaking coach.
Michelle had her aha moment, realizing it is OK to have a different
perspective than others.
Style of
Leadership
Michelle is very direct in her
leadership style and has good vision. She will ask her team what
they think, before she goes ahead with implementing a decision, to
ensure everyone else is onboard.
What Are You Excited
About?
Michelle is getting ready to launch
her 6-week program “The Speaking Distillery”. The goal behind this
program is for women who want to get their message out there and
get paid.
Leadership
Practice
Meditation makes Michelle feel less
reactive.
