Engage Presents Tiffany Michelle

The Engage Presents series is designed to help busy event planners get to know our speakers quickly and effectively. We go beyond the sizzle reel, asking FAQs about their personal stories, presentation style, approach to event planning, and much more.

1:42–2:30: Tiffany explains the importance of keeping a neutral physical presence to prevent others from reading her. Control is key—if people can't read you, they can't outplay you.

2:56–3:44: Tiffany learned poker through trial and error, watching TV and playing solo. Endorsement deals pushed her to find a coach and take her game to the next level after learning early on how to test boundaries.

3:53–5:09: Tiffany recalls facing high-profile opponents like athletes and comedians, noting how their competitive drive and confidence often carry over into how they play poker.

5:29–6:44: Poker amplifies everyday challenges like risk and decision-making under pressure. In keynotes, Tiffany uses it to teach people how to read others, manage emotions, and stay calm when it counts.

7:16–9:53: Each poker hand is a new puzzle, even with consistent fundamentals. Tiffany contrasts how beginners think about cards with how pros plan 20 moves ahead based on opponents' behavior.

10:09–12:23: On The Amazing Race, Tiffany learned to thrive under pressure, much like in poker. She trains for high-stress moments by embracing discomfort and trusting preparation over emotion.

12:50–14:27: At 22, Tiffany became the first female poker reporter on camera, breaking in without waiting for permission. Confidence, she says, comes from accountability and results—not image.
