About

I’m Tolu Michaels and I created SHOWUP Circle to empower leaders, coaches, and creators to build purposeful and profitable personal brands. My journey began as a speaker and bestselling author of Show Up, and evolved through partnerships with organizations like WIMBIZ and LEAP Africa to train over 28,000 entrepreneurs worldwide. I’ve seen that clarity of message and a supportive community are the twin engines of sustainable growth.

Each day I curate world-class training, actionable templates, and peer-driven discussions that guide members from hidden gems to household name. I blend my experience in brand strategy, tech-enabled community building, and an MBA from Ivey to ensure every resource is both strategic and deeply human. My mission is to foster a safe space where purpose-driven professionals ignite their confidence, amplify their impact, and consistently profit from their passion.
