Michelle Villalobos, MBA, CSP, (AKA: The "Superstar Activator")

works with mission-driven Superstars to reimagine and redesign their careers, businesses, and lives for more freedom, fulfillment, income, and impact. She does this by helping them align what they DO with who they (really) ARE, and then build out the plan of action—and mindset—to support the new vision.


STORY

Like the high performers she works with, Michelle spent many years (decades, really) in pursuit of “success” and “achievement,” only to discover she had sold her heart, soul, and passion in the process. After a long “dark night of the soul,” Michelle realized being happy and fulfilled have little to do with achieving goals.

With the help of mentors, Michelle developed a whole new approach to business and life. An approach that rests on doing the inner work to bring her life and business into greater alignment with her gifts, strengths, personality, purpose, self-care, values, beliefs, and vision. Turns out, this is an even better (and way more joyful!) path to success. Today, Michelle helps others have their own transformations so they can fully express their magic and gifts in the world.



MEDIA & ACCOLADES

Michelle has had her share of media recognition, though she has no PR initiative or strategy. She was named by The Miami Herald as one of Miami's "Top 20 Under 40" and in 2013, she won The Miami Herald Business Plan Challenge (true story: she beat out her brother for the win!) Michelle has been featured on the front page of the Chicago Tribune Business Section, and has been in/on CNN en Español, Lifetime TV, Forbes Magazine, Fortune Magazine, and more. She also founded "The Women's Success Summit," Miami's largest conference for entrepreneurial women for 8 years. Michelle just started her 10th year as a member of the National Speakers Association (NSA) and is the 2022/2023 Chair of its Million Dollar Speakers Group. She is a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) and has been chosen to present to audiences of her esteemed colleagues at several national events.



BACKGROUND & EDUCATION

Perhaps due to her background in improv theater, sketch comedy, and dance (from jazz and hip hop to merengue and salsa), Michelle's programs are engaging and FUN. And she does the left brain thing too—she graduated from University of Miami's MBA program with a 4.0 GPA, and holds an undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College with a double major in Psychology Modified with Mathematics, and Spanish Literature. She’s been certified for over 13 years in the Myers- Briggs Personality Index (MBTI). She is Cuban-Dominican-American and can present fluently in English and Spanish.
