Michel's Bio
Michel Neray weaves original songs, razor-sharp stories, and just enough neuroscience into a narrative so powerful, it doesn’t just entertain — it helps them sell more, lead with confidence, connect more deeply, and show up as the boldest version of themselves. With 30+ years of experience—from award-winning ad copy to launching dot-coms before they were cool—Michel has long been ahead of the curve. He’s a messaging strategist, storytelling coach, master of NLP, and founder of momondays, the storytelling show that spread to 16 cities. A singer-songwriter with two albums, he also holds a Science degree from Waterloo, an MBA from McGill, and a black belt with three stripes. He threads it all into one unforgettable journey complete with an original soundtrack — and turns it into a conference experience that’s more engaging and more memorable for your people… and more valuable for your business.
