Guest Information
Michelle Lee is an award-winning Certified BANK Coach, licensed trainer, keynote speaker, and self-described “networking ninja” based in the charming town of Harmony, Pennsylvania (just north of Pittsburgh). With 30+ years in corporate sales plus deep experience in network and direct sales, she helps people communicate with clarity, connect with intention, and grow businesses faster by understanding what truly drives human decisions.
Michelle’s specialty is BANK, a reverse-engineered personality science built on core values and buying behavior (inspired by Cheri Tree’s work, Why They Buy). Through BANK, she teaches leaders, teams, and entrepreneurs how to “speak the right language” to the right person so conversations don’t turn into confusion, conflict, or missed opportunities. Her results are real: using BANK strategies, she helped scale a startup from zero to over $2 million in under three years.
But for Michelle, BANK is bigger than business, it’s personal. She shares how it transformed her relationships, especially with her son, by helping her understand how different people feel seen, heard, and loved. Coming from a season of feeling unheard and unworthy, she now stands on a mission to create a ripple effect of empowerment, helping others build stronger relationships, healthier communication, and greater time and financial freedom.
Whether she’s on stage or one-on-one, Michelle’s message is simple and bold: judge less, love more, because when we understand each other’s “operating system,” we stop clashing and start connecting.

Question & Answer
Michelle, what is “BANK,” and what does a BANK coach actually do?
BANK is reverse-engineered personality science based on core values and buying behavior. A BANK coach helps people identify their “code” (Blueprint, Action, Nurturing, Knowledge) so they can communicate in a way others truly understand, whether in sales, leadership, or relationships.
How did Michelle get into BANK coaching in the first place?
After losing her corporate job and struggling financially while trying to run a startup, Michelle attended a conference, heard Sheri Tree (author of Why They Buy) speak, and bought what she could: the book and value cards. That discovery became a turning point that helped her rebuild her business and her life.
What are the four BANK types, in simple terms?
-
Blueprint (B): structure, plans, rules, stability
-
Action (A): fun, freedom, fast decisions, spontaneity
-
Nurturing (N): relationships, empathy, teamwork, authenticity
-
Knowledge (K): logic, data, research, “it must make sense”
Why did Michelle say BANK “saved” her relationship with her son?
Michelle is more spontaneous and high-energy, but her son is Blueprint-first and needs structure, predictability, and rule-following. Once she understood his core values, she stopped taking his reactions personally and started communicating in a way that made him feel loved, seen, and understood.
What message did Michelle leave for the audience?
-
She encouraged everyone to “love more and judge less,” remembering that every personality code matters. Her core message is that better communication creates stronger relationships and that together, people can make the world kinder and more connected.
