Speaking

Melissa Pierce, that’s me. I’m a filmmaker, a risk taker, occasional cake baker and a mother of three.  Most of my day is spent telling stories, whether those stories are presented through film, on stage, or in a children’s book. My conference presentations interweave stories from my own adventures of learning to parent, produce films on the fly, and building an empire with lessons learned from market leaders, anthropology, and good ole’ fashioned paying attention. My speaking style has been described as passionate, real, tangible, inspiring, and entertaining.  If you like me to speak at your event or conference, email me.

 

 

Speaking Topics

I’m a fairly versatile speaker and can speak to whatever you need me to (I am a master at living in beta, after all.) Following are some of the topics I’m most asked to speak about:

• The Contextual Revolution – How technology is changing the way that we think about ourselves
• Living the Unplanned Life – Opportunity, Passion, Creativity, and Living in the NOW
• Marketing Your Passion, The Life in Perpetual Beta Story
• Life in Perpetual Beta Screenings and Discussion with the Director
• The Web Makes Us Creative – ADD and Information Overload Could Be the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Us
  
• Parenting and Passion Projects – How I made a Documentary Film During Nap-Time
  
• The New Leadership –  The Future of Work, and How to Lead a Free Agent Nation
