It All Begins With Belief.
Belief is what separates those who claim they have something to say from those who actually say it.
"Who am I to...?"
"Will anyone care?"
"Is this even any good?"
These doubts hold back too many of us from putting our great work into the world. So I could tell you about my background and credentials but I'd rather start with the most important thing to know about me:
Morning walks, good books, snuggles with my hubby, interesting conversations, eating nourishing food, and all the farm chores.
daily rituals
Guesting on podcasts, reading and researching, asking questions, lost in deep conversation, or on a farm walk with my goats and pups.
YOU CAN FIND ME:
Small talk, the way it has always been done, hustling to prove your value, posting for the algorithm, or toxins in any form.
I'm NOT ABOUT:
Subversion, good champagne, the power of words to move mountains, your unique brilliance, long stretches of silence, and food security.
I BELIEVE IN:
I work with women who have something to say. Women who have a vision. Women who see a status quo that is no longer acceptable. These women have ideas to bring change, new ways of thinking to share, a perspective that offers something new for people to grasp on to...and I'm here to come alongside these women as a partner. Together we mature the ideas, we create a strategy, and then we bring that idea into the world through the written and spoken word.
Thought leadership is earned when you help people think about something familiar in a new way. This is the heart of real impact and is the only way to spark lasting change. While a book or a signature talk can be an important keystone of a body of work, thought leadership is supported by an entire ecosystem. I'm here to help you think about holistically about the entire system.
When I say "idea", I'm referring to the body of work you were put here to bring forth. It is driven by a vision for how the world could be, rather than an acceptance of what is.
It is one thing to have an idea. It is another to mature that idea and express it into the world in a way that makes people stand up and align with your vision. Think of it like a fire: the idea is just a spark, you still need kindling, oxygen and a little bit of time to fan that spark into a flame. You bring the spark, together, we'll turn it in to a roaring fire...and then decide how to share the flames with the world.
The name Chambre Bleue is an homage to the iconic 17th century French salon of Madame de Rambouillet. A place ruled by elegance and intellectual curiosity where writers, thinkers, and nobility gathered to discuss ideas and engage in deep conversation (and hopefully drink some excellent champagne!).
Michelle Fishering, MFA is a writer, thinker, publisher, strategist, and modern-day salonnière. During her nearly 15-year career building businesses alongside 7- and 8-figure founders in the luxury wine industry, Michelle indulged her passion for books and writing with a side hustle as an editor and book strategist. When she could no longer ignore the pull of her personal mission to explore potent ideas and facilitate profound conversations, she founded Chambre Bleue which is both a strategic consulting firm and a boutique publishing house. Together, the symbiotic entities serve as a think tank for nascent thought leaders, supporting them in building intellectual legacy and income while also publishing their impact-driven nonfiction books.
When she isn't serving clients or managing book deals, Michelle can be found in avid study of one of her many favorite topics...or covered in mud from farm chores! Michelle, her hubby, and their two fur babies live on their regenerative farm in western Colorado where milking cows, bribing goats, and wrangling roosters is all in a day's work!
