Michelle uncovered that our needs not only motivate us, but they also limit us. By learning how to prioritize and negotiate with our needs, we open a world of opportunities.
“Our event was a huge success because of Michelle’s talk. Her session scored a 4.9 (out of 5) and was raved about in feedback! Michelle made her story of conquering fears relevant to our daily lives; the audience left feeling empowered to face their own fears. Her energy and enthusiasm are undeniable. We look forward to having Michelle join us at many more events”
“The only complaint that we’ve received is that we had a limit on the number of attendees and so not everyone could attend! There are a lot of people now asking themselves ‘What is the BEST that could happen?’ Thank you for inspiring bravery and teaching us about our fears!”
“Michelle is an outstanding speaker. I’m extremely grateful we decided to bring her to our annual event. The audience loved her energy and authenticity. Her session scored a 4.8 (out of 5)! They could easily relate to her message in many levels and implement her advice and tools into their day to day. I would love to bring her to more of our events.”
“Michelle’s presentation at Bayer provided insight to transform employees’ mindset and perspective of their fears, from not even considering taking action to thinking ‘What’s the best that can happen?’ Attendees also understood and learned the power in sharing their own experiences facing fears to encourage people around them to go after their own. Members of the WLI Workplace, Culture and Events team noted attendees continue to share their fear and new motivation to face them.”
“SCAD was delighted to invite Michelle to address the SCAD Savannah Class of 2016 at the university’s commencement ceremony. She is a charismatic and high energy speaker with a gift for establishing instant rapport with audiences. Her curiosity, intellect, and optimism are sure to inspire her listeners to expand their horizons, visualize their goals, and find happiness – exactly as she has done.”
“Michelle’s talk was tremendously inspiring and insightfully put together. She was beyond well prepared and poured her heart into her message; everything you would ever want from a presenter. I honestly can’t say enough good things about working with her as a TEDxHouston speaker. She’s a talented designer and brave woman.”
“THANK YOU!!! You were an absolute joy to have at our event (GTO Symposium 2019) and we are so grateful for your time and energy. The team is all buzzing about your talk and we’ve heard from SO many people that you were the highlight of their day. Thank you for being so incredible to work with.”
