Technical Info and Setup for Events
If you’re planning to have me at your event, here’s a quick rundown of what’s needed to keep things running smoothly:
For Live Events:
Stage & Setup:
• Stage Space: Enough room to move around freely (nothing fancy – just a space where I can engage with the audience).
• Lighting: Good, even lighting works best. If you have a spotlight, that’s cool, but not necessary.
• Seating: Whatever makes sense for the event. Auditorium or classroom-style seating tends to work well for interaction.
Sound:
• Microphone: A wireless handheld or lapel mic is great so I can move around easily.
• Speakers: Make sure the sound is clear, with no delays, so everyone can hear me.
• Backup Mic: Just in case!
A/V Setup:
• If I’m using slides or videos, a projector and screen would be needed. I’ll need a way to connect my laptop (HDMI or VGA works). I can bring my own clicker, but if you have one, that’s perfect!
• If I’m playing videos with sound, we’ll need to connect to your sound system.
Internet Access:
• If I need to demo something live online, I’ll need a reliable Wi-Fi connection or a wired internet option as a backup.
Optional Extras:
• Flip charts or a whiteboard are cool if we’re doing interactive sessions or brainstorming.
For Virtual Events:
Platform:
• I’m flexible with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or whatever platform you prefer. Just give me co-host access for screen sharing and interactive features.
Internet Speed:
• I’ll make sure I’m on a strong internet connection to keep the stream smooth.
A/V Setup:
• I’ll have my webcam and mic ready, and I’ll make sure I’ve got good lighting on my end.
Interactivity:
• If you’re looking for Q&A or polls, just make sure those features are turned on for the session. I can also help moderate, or you can have someone handle it on your end.
Extras to Keep in Mind:
• Sound/Lighting Check: Let’s do a quick check about an hour before we start to make sure everything’s set.
• Tech Help: It’s always nice to have an AV person around during the event just in case something comes up, but nothing major.
That’s pretty much it! I’m happy to work with what you’ve got and make it a great experience for everyone involved. If you have any specific requests or questions, feel free to reach out!
Tony Robbins: His dynamic approach to personal development and his focus on achieving goals through consistent, actionable steps are a major influence on Michelle’s work.

Simon Sinek: Michelle admires Simon’s leadership philosophy, particularly the concept of starting with “Why,” which aligns with her belief in leading with purpose and intention.
