Resources for Building Your Authority
A curated hub — not a blog dump — of Michelle's books, podcast, newsletter, and writing on authority, leadership, and purpose.
Authority Capital & Thought Leadership
Start with the framework: Authority Capital™ is Michelle's model for building authority as a strategic asset, and the ideas behind it recur throughout the resources on this page.
Publishing & Authority Building
Michelle's books: Winning in Life Now, The Power of Authority, SHINE Through Your Story, Illuminate Your Greatness, You Were Created to Shine, and her forthcoming Authority Capital (Forbes Books). Each grew out of the same publishing philosophy she now applies as a Publisher at Advantage — the one behind how Performance Publishing began.



Leadership, Purpose & Legacy
Writing and talks rooted in the principles Michelle learned directly from Zig Ziglar and now teaches as his Brand Ambassador — the same themes that anchor her Purpose, Legacy & Light speaking topic.

Podcast & Media
Michelle co-hosts the Forbes Books Podcast with Lucy McCarraher, featuring conversations with founders, CEOs, and business leaders. She also publishes The Power of Authority, a newsletter on building lasting influence.
