Meet Michelle
TL;DR
I’m an attorney-turned-event producer who walked away from the traditional path to build something real.
I’ve led teams, grown businesses, and rebuilt my life and work after major personal and professional upheaval.
If your audience is in the messy middle—burned out, rebuilding, or trying to find their footing—I speak to them.
Michelle Kennedy is an event producer, business strategist, and keynote speaker who helps people lead through change with grit and resilience.
She built her career at the intersection of high-stakes environments and deeply human moments—first as an attorney (licensed in UT and CA), then as a business owner, and now as a speaker and producer known for bringing structure to chaos and clarity to complexity.
Michelle has supported companies and communities across industries, made tough calls under pressure, and rebuilt—not just businesses—but her health and identity after life went off-script.
Her talks speak to the people in the middle of the storm:
The ones starting over, stepping up, or carrying more than they expected to.
The ones who don’t feel like “leaders” yet, but show up anyway.
The ones still figuring it out, but refusing to give up.
Whether she’s speaking to individuals or teams, Michelle brings story, strategy, and substance to every stage. She believes grit and resilience aren’t soft skills—they’re essentials.
Michelle lives in Salt Lake City and works nationwide. She’s currently booking keynotes for 2025 and beyond.
