As the Creator and Founder of The People Reader, Michelle has developed a pioneering suite of tools that empower organisations and individuals to better understand themselves and each other. With over two decades of experience as a consultant and transformational trainer, her work is rooted in emotional intelligence, behavioural profiling, and the art of human connection—making her an exceptional presence on any stage.
Michelle’s career has been marked by a series of notable leadership roles, including CEO of Ensize UK, Managing Director of Mmp Ltd., and Founder of the Uber Groups. Her journey began in client development and evolved into thought leadership in the fields of behavioural science and communication. As a Master behaviour profiler, Michelle excels in unlocking human potential by decoding the complexities of motivation, collaboration, and interpersonal dynamics. Her bestselling book, “Phone Genius – The Art of Non-Visual Communication”, cemented her reputation as an authority on connection beyond visual cues.
A pivotal moment in Michelle’s life came in 2004 when she survived the Boxing Day Tsunami, an event that deeply shaped her personal and professional outlook. In the aftermath, she spearheaded efforts to raise £100,000 for the Hikkaduwa Village Fund, saving lives and strengthening community resilience. This experience fuelled her passion for understanding human values and behaviours under pressure, and it continues to inspire her keynote topics, which include “The Magnificence of Humanity” and “The Secret Life of People”.
A Fellow and former President of the Professional Speaking Association, Michelle was honoured with the President’s Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Speaking Industry and the Kenny Harris Badger of Honour Award for Comedy.
