Michelle Smith
Host, Co-Writer, Associate Producer, Got Skills
Entrepreneur in Residence, Skills Baby
Apprenticeship Program Manager, Amazon
I’ve been a non profit fundraiser, an after school teacher, an international development intern, a management consultant, and a disney princess (yes, literally). After I joined the professional workforce, I realized I could leverage my unique experiences – like dealing with a safety crisis at a princess birthday tea – to be a better manager, teammate, and employee. Realizing this opened up whole new ways for me to grow personally and professionally, and is why I love Got Skills! We’re sharing actionable ways to reference your personal learnings in a professional setting to tell your skills story, regardless of experience. We all have skills … we just need to learn how to talk about them!
