Faculty Profile: Mimi Bliss

As owner of Bliss Communications since 1997, Mimi Bliss focuses on the core leadership skill of public speaking. Mimi prepares leaders to speak with confidence in any situation – speeches, media interviews, business presentations and the many informal speaking opportunities that we have in the workplace.

As we’ve shifted to virtual meetings, Mimi has developed a high level of expertise in moderating virtual events, coaching professionals to speak comfortably on video, and structuring virtual meetings that are interactive and meaningful.

Mimi has extensive experience in the fields of journalism and public relations. She was an on-camera reporter for ABC and NBC television affiliates and a freelance field producer for the Today Show and NBC Nightly News. She also served as a corporate spokesperson for a major restaurant company and managed media relations for a hospital system.

Mimi earned a degree in public policy from Duke University. She lives in Nashville and has served in leadership roles for numerous nonprofit boards of directors. She is a graduate of Leadership Nashville, a member of the University School of Nashville Board of Trustees, and a member of the Duke University Alumni Association Global Board of Directors.
