Only 1 in 3 of U.S. workers received recognition or praise for doing good work in the past seven days.

With constant change and societal divisiveness, people have slipped into a place of hopeless passivity where merely getting by has become good enough.

This mindset stifles innovation, clarity, purpose and capable decision-making, leading to pervasive workplace disengagement and a disconnection from one’s full potential.

The best way to combat this is to instill optimism - actively choosing hope, confidence and seeking the upside, in our work culture and lives.

Shira Miller

In my 30 years of working in Corporate America, I’ve seen a lack of optimism bring people, teams, and organizations down. As a Chief Communications Officer and Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, I have helped thousands of leaders instill optimism, hope, connection and purpose to optimize performance. Research shows that leading with optimism increases employee connection by 20%, decreases stress at work by 30% and boosts profits. Cultivating optimism has allowed me to overcome significant adversity, and lead to the creation of my framework to combat hopelessness and help people thrive.

KIND WORDS FROM LOVELY PEOPLE

“Shira’s love of people and effective communication is evident in everything she touches. Her energy is endless, her passion is unmatchable and her laughter is contagious. She gets the job done no matter what, and everyone involved will have a blast in the process.”

— JENNIFER DEMPSEY

“You will be a rockstar for hiring Shira as your keynote! She checks all the boxes: motivational, educational, humorous, engaging, expert, authentic. She can also lead hands-on workshops for smaller groups – BONUS!”

— GINGER EMAS

“I highly recommend Shira as a speaker, coach and motivator. If you have a big group of people, she will be able to bring intimacy, interactivity and innovation to the group faster and better than nearly anyone I've seen.”

— STEPHEN MICHAEL BROWN

“From the moment she was born, Shira has been a great daughter, total go-getter and an amazing person who cares so much about others. However, she wasn’t great at picking out clothes in elementary school so I’m worried about her shoe choices for work and speaking engagements.”

— SHIRA'S MOM (a.k.a. Faye Miller)

“I recently attended two of Shira’s leadership talks at Canyon Ranch about women at the top, resilience, and power. It was profound observing the transformations happening around the room. Her message is powerful, enlightened, and yet so practical.”

— CHRISTINA WOODWICK

“Shira has a unique and intuitive way of helping you discover and embrace your possibilities. My health, wealth and happiness are all manifesting in ways I could never have imagined before without Shira’s effervescent guidance and vision.”

— LEIGH HIGGINBOTHAM

“Shira Miller positively impacted my life in a way that no other business coach, life coach or self-help book has been able to. She pushed me to address areas of my professional life that were uncomfortable until I was able to knock down barriers that I had been afraid to address. Shira put me through a dynamic process of gauging my "happiness and satisfaction" in every aspect of my life and began her magic from there. Without her guidance, I would still be stuck in a negative work environment and unsatisfying relationship. Her impact on me will last a lifetime.”

— MIKE BEAN
