What are People Saying!

Kathleen Hunter, Health Canada
Michelle closed our two day Health Canada Admin conference with her ‘Exposing the Myth of Life Balance’ keynote.  She was masterful at gently taking charge of the room without a lot of time to do so.  I enjoyed her personal approach: sharing a bit about her story and the highs and lows along the way. She is a great story teller (and comic if I might add).  The challenge with workshops, if they are successful, is that inspiration felt at that time is hard to sustain once people get back on the job. Having said that, this group has really put in an effort to continue building their community of practice, which is an excellent outcome for the workshop.  Many of our staff listed her session as the highlight of our two day event.  I look forward to working with Michelle again soon.

Very entertaining, but really very inspiring!  Michelle provided good reminders and insights through out her presentation.  This will change my life!

Helene Oseen, Founder, THE Pajama Party for Women
Michelle presented at the Ultimate Pajama Party in Jasper in 2003 and she was a hit!  She is now a regular part of my presenting team and is one of our most popular presenters.  I can wholeheartedly say that based on our evaluations, Michelle is always a huge hit ... she's joined us in Bermuda, Whistler, Victoria, Lake Louise, and Jasper!

Michelle's 'Exposing the Myth of Life Balance' presentation was very upbeat.  She presented at a realistic level and shared real life experiences you could relate to.

Valerie McGillivray, Community Learning Network Manager
Michelle provided a spectacular keynote at our annual CLN conference in April 2007.  She really did live her message when, just prior to her session, she got on her hands and knees and took on the formidable task of disconnecting, then re-wiring the media cart so that the projector and mike could be moved.  She was calm and helpful and I was impressed with her 'can do' attitude in dealing with that particular hurdle.  I have seen so many motivational speakers and unfortunately I seldom hear a session that delivers a message in a way that I feel really connects.  Michelle's session was truly REAL and she found all the right notes and delivered a practical, funny, truly motivational session on life balance that did not fall into the usual trite traps that so many other speakers get themselves into.  Cheers to Michelle and a great session.

Michelle is an exciting and knowledgeable speaker who has a unique way of keeping her listeners’ attention.  I really enjoyed the session!
