Sure, Superman could leap over tall buildings and Wonder Woman had bullet repelling bracelets. While less likely to land me in a cinematic universe, my superpower is cultivating optimism. I discovered this in high school when actively seeking hope allowed me to exceed all expectations of what was possible for the daughter of a delicatessen owner from Columbia, South Carolina.
Over the decades, actively choosing optimism has helped me move from financial ruin to prosperity, chronic health challenges to wellness, obesity to a healthy weight, divorce to lasting love, and an unfulfilling career to a purpose-driven life. I know what it is like to feel that sense of hopeless passivity that has afflicted so many of us during these challenging times, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
As a Keynote Speaker, Chief Communications Officer at a $3 billion company, author of Free and Clear: Get Unstuck and Life the Life You Want and a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, I have helped thousands of leaders bring optimism, hope, connection and purpose into their lives and work. Let’s discuss how my proven transformation framework can help you build a culture of optimism that drives business success and personal growth.
Outside of work, I enjoy time with my super cool husband and overly energetic Aussie Doodle. As the kid always picked last for volleyball, I still get a kick out of challenging myself with daily workouts. Meaningful travel, excellent books, and pop culture moments like Deadpool’s fourth wall breaks also bring me joy.
I’ve contributed to Arianna Huffington’s Thrive Global platform, and have been featured in Shape, Health, First for Women, Authority Magazine, the Atlanta Journal – Constitution and more. My work in employee engagement and brand reputation management has been recognized with over 40 industry awards from groups like the Public Relations Society of America, Ragan Communications and the International Association of Business Communicators.

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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
