Hello

Brand is a result of the promises you keep. What promises are you making and how are you keeping them?

    Speaking

    Michel speaks on the risk to purpose and values of people making the wrong promises. Where people fall into the gap between a story and the reality of their experience, undermining trust and eroding the brand.

    She calls on 30 years spent working alongside organisations big and small to lay bare the ‘brand is design and marketing’ myth and show that WHAT people do leaves a bigger mark than any logo.

    Work

    Have you ever made a promise you couldn’t keep? As a Brand Counsel I advise people and organisations on the risk to purpose and values of making the wrong promises.

    I help you find the disconnects between what you do and say. So you and your teams can get back on track. Hold true to your purpose and values, make promises that make sense for you, and keep them … consistently.

    People sat up in their seats… Michel’s a fantastic speaker and a wonderful thinker
