My Story

I connect the dots between your pain points and your path forward.

Welcome! My name is Michelle Beckham-Corbin, and I bring lots of passion, curiosity, and care to the work I do and the causes I support.

I’m energized by complex problems and by applying strategic thinking to find practical solutions to clients’ pain points. The desire to understand a problem, find the right solution, and help move things forward has been part of my work since the earliest years of my career.

I began my career at Procter & Gamble, working across several product sectors in Customer Business Development and Marketing roles. Some of the iconic brands I most enjoyed working with include Olay, Crest, Pepto-Bismol, Old Spice, and Pringles.

In 2009, I stepped into the entrepreneurial waters and entered a time of rapid change in marketing communications: the advent of social media for business. I founded a digital marketing company and thrived on the rapid pace of learning in this tech space.

With a Gallup CliftonStrengths top skill of Learner, a joy for lifelong learning, and a highly people-focused (~extroverted) personality, I jumped in with both feet and my typing digits as well! I enjoyed helping companies, teams, and individuals learn how to harness the power of digital tools to move the needle forward.

I spoke at national and regional conferences on topics like “LinkedIn Metrics That Matter: How to Measure & Build Your Market Influence” (Ohio Business Technology Summit, 2014), “Building Your Practice with Digital Marketing” (Ohio Dental Association Annual Conference, 2013), and “Touching the Hearts and Minds of Others Through Innovation, Service, and Leadership” (TEDx Xavier University, Master of Ceremonies, 2012). You can learn more about my career by visiting my LinkedIn profile.

During this time frame, I wrote for several blogs and co-authored a business book on social media, Age of Conversation 3: It’s Time to Get Busy! (Channel V Books, 2010). I have always loved writing and have several other published projects, from essays and short stories to works of poetry. I am a long-time member of the Women Writing community in Cincinnati, which provides spaces for women to share their writing, receive feedback, and grow in connection and meaningful conversation within a circle of writers.

I later established a Marketing & Communications department at a national faith-based nonprofit where I led a team of eight marketing professionals. Additionally, I managed our corporate relationship with a national PR Agency, podcast producer, and radio broadcast engineer. I have recently returned to the entrepreneurial space to consult and coach on all things related to AI strategy.

Whether I was leading brands or teams, I prioritized relationship-building and problem-solving. That people-focused lens back then underscores my strong belief today in human-first, human-in-the-loop tech adoption. People lead. Technology follows.
