Professional Speaking

Professional Speaking

Michelle Golden is an international speaker for accountants, lawyers, and wealth advisors. Topics range from team development and practice management, to very specific tactics for increasing business, especially through websites and social media tools.

“Your session, which in particular opened up the ‘world of blogs’ to us unsuspecting accountants, made everyone sit back and really think about how we should change our internet sites. In fact the talk was of little else for the rest of the day. I did say to you that I thought that it was the best session that we have ever had at any of our twice annual worldwide conferences and I take this opportunity to say so again and to thank you for being so challenging and thought provoking.”
—Howard Wilkinson, Partner, Mercer & Hole (UK)
