Shira Miller is a keynote speaker, author, and C-suite executive who helps organizations activate engagement, optimism, and performance in times of change.
As the Chief Communications Officer of a $3B national supply-chain organization, Shira brings rare credibility to the keynote stage — blending real executive leadership experience with high-impact storytelling and practical, actionable strategies. She is the creator of Activate the Remarkable™, a leadership framework designed to help organizations move from disengagement and burnout to energy, accountability, and growth by creating cultures where people feel seen, valued, and empowered to contribute.
Shira’s most requested keynote, Activate the Remarkable™, focuses on organizational activation — helping leaders navigate rapid change and re-engage teams by strengthening recognition, optimism, and opportunity at every level. Her keynote portfolio also includes Activate Your Remarkable™, which centers on personal confidence and momentum; From Apology to Authority, a women’s leadership keynote focused on moving from self-doubt to confidence and impact; and The Recognition-First Leader, a practical leadership keynote on engagement and retention.
Known for delivering inspiration that translates into measurable impact, Shira speaks to corporate audiences, associations, businesses, franchisees, HR leaders, and women’s leadership conferences nationwide. Her presentations resonate with senior leaders, middle managers, and frontline teams alike, offering tools leaders can apply immediately to improve culture, performance, and morale.
Shira is also the author of Free and Clear: Get Unstuck and Live the Life You Want and a two-time TEDx speaker. Her keynotes are frequently recommended for organizations seeking a speaker who combines heart, business acumen, and real-world leadership insight.
A Bit More About Shira
Sure, Superman could fly and Wonder Woman had bullet-repelling bracelets. Shira’s superpower is cultivating optimism — especially in complex, high-pressure environments — and helping leaders reconnect to what’s possible, even when change feels relentless.
She knows optimism isn’t just a feel-good trait, but a proven catalyst for stronger leadership, greater engagement, and better business outcomes. It has transformed her own life — guiding her from financial hardship to prosperity, chronic illness to wellness, divorce to lasting love, and from an unfulfilling job to a purpose-driven career.
Shira lives in Atlanta with her husband and their dog, Iggy. When she’s not working with leaders or preparing for the stage, you’ll often find her exercising early in the morning, writing, obsessing over cute puppy videos, or clearing space — literally and figuratively — to make room for what’s next. A graduate of Emory University, she is also a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach and has received more than 40 awards for excellence in employee engagement, culture transformation, corporate communications, and public relations.
