We feel the best way to attract students to a program relies on promotion that is clear about tangible value and clearly answers the "so what?" regarding topic. Sharing "behind-the-scenes" snippets, short-form video, pull quotes establish interest and a sense of authenticity. Since students are often "time-poor," emphasize the timing and format— 60-minute talk followed by a high-energy, interactive Q&A. Finally, tap into the "fear of missing out", how skipping or missing out on the message effect by shared student experience.

Introduction:

Michelle Guobadia might be a little more real and in-your-face than you expect from a speaker—and she’s totally fine with that. Known for telling it like it is, Michelle’s mission is to shake things up, especially when it comes to hazing, toxic traditions, and outdated leadership models. If you don’t

To ensure the speaker's message doesn't evaporate the moment students leave the room, you need to bridge the gap between inspiration and daily habit.

• Deploy "Nudge" Content: Send out a series of micro-lessons, "challenges" or impact statements/slides from the presentation. Breaking the keynote down into bite-sized, actionable prompts prevents cognitive overload and keeps the themes top-of-mind.

• Establish Peer Accountability: Create a dedicated space on your meeting agendas, where check-in with yourself and others on how they are applying the speaker's advice. Peer validation is a powerful motivator; seeing a classmate succeed using the speaker’s framework creates a "social proof" loop that sustains momentum.

• Gather Feedback: If you are surveying those in attendance, ask that they make a commitment to be a part of the challenge or change that was identified and discussed. Position or not, all members of a community contribute. If you gather feedback about the speaker or the message, we invite you to share it back with us so we can improve the program and promote its impact to other audiences.
