A standout Australian business leader has earned national recognition for work that empowers people to communicate with confidence, create impact and make a meaningful difference.<\/div>\n

Sydney, Australia – September 16, 2026 – <\/strong>Internationally recognised presentation and persuasion expert, bestselling author and educator Michelle Bowden CSP<\/a> has been awarded Gold in the M.A.D Making a Difference category at the 2026 ROAR Awards.<\/p>\n

\"Michelle-Bowden-CSP\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The national ROAR Awards celebrate Australian business owners and leaders making an impact through their work. The M.A.D Making a Difference Award specifically recognises businesses and individuals who have gone above and beyond to create positive change in their communities and society, demonstrating commitment and dedication to improving the lives of others.<\/p>\n

For more than 27 years, Bowden has helped thousands of professionals develop the confidence and practical skills to communicate more effectively, present their ideas persuasively and have greater influence in the moments that matter.<\/p>\n

Through her Persuasive Presentation Skills Masterclasses<\/a>, corporate training, keynote speaking, coaching and bestselling books How to Present and How to Persuade, Bowden has built her career around a simple belief: when people learn to communicate well, the impact extends far beyond a presentation.<\/p>\n

Accepting the Gold award, Bowden said the recognition was particularly meaningful because making a difference has always been at the heart of her work.<\/p>\n

“The busier I am, the more people I can help to be happy and successful in their lives. That’s what drives me. To be recognised for making a difference with work I absolutely love is so awesome.”<\/p>\n

Bowden said she has seen first-hand how improved communication skills can change careers and give people the confidence to advocate for themselves and their ideas.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes people come to me because they have an important Board presentation or sales pitch ahead of them. Others have spent years being terrified of public speaking<\/a> until we work together. I love watching someone discover that anyone can be a great presenter in business, you’ve just got to learn what to do and then do it!”<\/p>\n

The Gold ROAR Award adds to Bowden’s growing list of accolades and recognises the wider impact of a career devoted to helping people communicate with greater confidence, clarity and influence.<\/p>\n
