EMPOWERING TODAY’S DREAMERS, LEADERS AND GO-GETTERS TO CREATE THE LIFE AND CAREER THEY WANT.
A personal note from Michelle…
To say that I’m inspired by the power of the human spirit is an understatement.
I’ve spent most of my life in the realm of human performance – as a competitive kayaker, as an avid outdoor enthusiast; mountain biker, rock climber and snowboarder. I’ve been a fitness instructor and personal trainer. I am a psychology major turned Kinesiology Master. I’ve worked as a college instructor, health educator, and personal trainer always interested in what makes people tick – inside and out.
Now, as a coach, consultant, and professional speaker I educate busy, driven professionals about purpose, productivity and the pursuit of better.
If anything drives me it’s this: to empower every person who dreams of more to go for it, every leader who dares to make a difference to trust they’re able, and every go-getter with a vision for success to say “Yeah, I can!”
We only get one chance at this thing called life.
I say, dare to live it BIG!
For over 15 years, Certified Speaking Professional Michelle Cederberg has captivated audiences across North America with her empowering and humorous messages about how to set worthwhile goals, get energized for success, and live a Carpe Freakin’ Diem life.
An in-demand speaker, author, coach and consultant, she believes that personal and professional success is directly influenced by how well we harness the physical, mental and emotional capacity we each have within us. She helps people boost that capacity, so they gain clarity, build confidence, and create the discipline to do the freakin’ work.
What people are saying…
I had the pleasure of working with Michelle on our yearly event for designers and design leaders. Michelle played a huge part in the success of this year’s event. She was so incredibly easy to work with and took the time to meet with me numerous times. She wanted to understand our audience, diving deep into their struggles, dynamics and needs of this group.
While we wished we could have had Michelle speak in person, she made the virtual interaction top notch, feeling engaged and like we were right there with her! I would recommend her to anyone looking to be motivated and to inspire your group while having fun along the way. Her energy was exactly what we all needed with so many takeaways for the designers to take beyond the presentation and grow as an individual and employee.
As an added bonus, Michelle sent a personal signed copy of her wonderful book to each of our designers as a gift from our company for their continued growth and appreciation. The responses from our attendees were overwhelmingly positive, saying that Michelle’s presentation was one the best parts of the conference, and the designers appreciated us as a company investing in their mental health and well-being as individuals. I would gladly have Michelle back for any of our future events as an inspiring, fun and engaging keynote!

We had the pleasure of working with Michelle to deliver an inspiring virtual opening keynote address for our Annual General Meeting & Professional Development Institute. Michelle was able to transcend the ‘digital divide’ to create an energetic and motivating environment where delegates were engaged and felt comfortable asking questions. Her set-up was top-notch and allowed you to feel as though you were right there in the room with her. We received lots of compliments and positive responses following her presentation and we would gladly have her back to speak at future virtual or in-person events!

With 2020 being a “virtual” year, we needed someone to spark everyone’s interest, get our audience sitting up in their seats and hanging on for a great presentation, and Michelle did all of that. Michelle was a great opening speaker and set the tone for our conference. Her passion and energy is contagious in person, and she is a force to be reckoned with on the virtual platform as well. Just as with her in-person presentations, there are many take-aways that attendees talk about long after her session is over. I know we will work together in the future again!
