“Unapologetically YOU”
Michelle Poler got into the master program of her dreams by pointing out the things that were WRONG with her portfolio pieces.
She sold her convertible on eBay, in ONE day, by showing it in USE, while it was raining, and with the top down. She made a name for herself in Advertising by choosing to work with the SMALLEST client in the agency.
And, well, she decided to become a braver person by facing no less than 100 fears in a period of 100 days – while building a community around her movement, Hello Fears.
Early in her life, Michelle learned that the best way to achieve her wildest dreams was by CONTRASTING, instead of COMPARING herself to others.
The question “How can I do things my OWN way?” turned her into the author, speaker and influencer she is today.
While in her first talk “Fear Less, Do More,” Michelle focuses on her *transformational journey* as a way to inspire people to be brave, in this program, she teaches audiences how to use that courage to become unapologetically… THEM!
Like everything else Michelle does, this is not just a talk, this is a full EXPERIENCE that will make any audience laugh, reflect, unlearn old concepts, feel empowered, dance – of course, and take action towards a more *unapologetic* way of life.
Michelle Poler customizes every presentation taking into account the audience and the client’s objectives.

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
What is the typical duration of a keynote speech and what is included?
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses and other costs
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Deposits and securing a booking
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
Additional tips and takeaways
- Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
