The reputation you’ve spent years earning can be made – or undone – in a single interview, presentation, or moment in front of a camera. Most leaders are experts at what they do; far fewer are trained to communicate it with clarity and confidence when it counts. Bee Young Communications and Marketing helps executives, founders, and teams become natural, charismatic spokespeople who own the room, on any stage, on any screen.
With more than two decades of media-relations experience and media training delivered at the highest levels of collegiate and professional athletics, Michelle Schmitt Young has prepared spokespeople for national broadcast interviews on NBC, ABC, CBS, and ESPN. She brings that same real-world, high-stakes coaching to every client – whether you’re prepping for a major presentation, a media interview, or launching a podcast.

Featured Case Study: USF College of Engineering
The dean and senior leaders of the USF College of Engineering were regularly in front of reporters, donors, students, and faculty candidates – without ever having had formal communications training. Deep subject-matter expertise, it turns out, doesn’t automatically translate into a clear, confident message.
They left our full-day intensive with sharper messaging, a repeatable preparation method, and real confidence on camera – along with custom playbooks (“Presenting Confidence,” “Pro Tips for Video Calls,” “Donor Conversations”) and a post-presentation self-evaluation system to keep improving long after the training ended.
“Michelle broke the mold.”
— Janet Gillis, Communications and Marketing, USF College of Engineering
