I'm Michelle.

For 20 years, I've been testing whether old wisdom can work with modern business, law, and life.

 Meet Michelle: 

Michelle Snape is a seasoned commercial lawyer and business strategist, leading her own law firm and consulting practice while navigating the very same demands she writes and speaks about.

Alongside her professional work, Michelle is engaged in a quieter, ongoing inquiry like a modern-day philosopher, questioning the cult of busy and the price we pay to belong to it.

As a central thesis, Michelle explores one main question: whether it's possible to marry the principles of the 'Old Wisdom' with a modern life. What does a world look like where we take the wisdom of generations past and blend it with a world of tech and AI? She explores whether or not it is possible to use all the tools to actually slow down and still thrive in modern business, law, and life.

Over the past 20 years, Michelle has explored these ideas through a personal body of work she calls A Vision Splendid, which now sits alongside her professional writing and speaking. Through the intersection of these elements, she examines business, law, and life through a different lens on what it might mean to thrive beyond busyness.

 What they say...

 With deep expertise and a natural storytelling gift, Michelle leaves audiences both moved and better informed.

 "I have had the privilege of attending several events where Michelle Snape has taken the stage, as a keynote speaker, a workshop presenter and fellow attendee. On each occasion it has reinforced what I already knew about Michelle - she is exceptional. Michelle commands a room with quiet authority. Her ability to translate complex concepts into clear, compelling narratives and plain English is a rare skill, and one she deploys with effortless precision. Michelle doesn't simply present information or concepts, she contextualises it, challenges thinking, and leaves her audience genuinely better equipped than when they walked in. What sets Michelle apart is the depth she brings to every engagement. Her insights are sharp, her wisdom spot on, and her delivery warm without ever sacrificing substance. I recommend Michelle without reservation to any organisation seeking a speaker or workshop presenter who will not only inform, but genuinely inspire.

“Cross-disciplinary insight is rare.

Michelle has extensive knowledge and experience in establishing and running law firms (both organically and through mergers).

She has a clear understanding of the importance of systems and automation in monetising legal knowledge.

I am a beneficiary of her ability to share her knowledge and experience in a succinct way, a skill that she has likely developed during her years in education. ”

“whilst there is obviously a high level of experience and skill, the noticeable point of difference is the professionalism, attention to detail and responsiveness to our changing needs"
