Dan Heath

“I do not think I would be exaggerating to say that Dan Heath was one of (if not THE) best speaker we have ever had.  … He is a fantastic presenter who has mastered the ability to deliver his message to an audience in a likable, engaging, entertaining, persuasive and memorable way.” —ManageCamp

Michelle Poler

“When our large women’s professional organization had to switch to a virtual platform for our 10 year anniversary event we were extremely nervous. Keeping energies high, keeping attendees engaged, and having your guests leave with a positive outlook like they would at an in-person event was at the top of our minds. We were recommended to Michelle Poler and instantly knew, after watching a few of her videos about transitioning to virtual, that she was the perfect fit for our audience. She brought so much enthusiasm and energy to our event, shared a message that was real and a woman at any age could identify with, and was so, so invested in the experience of our guests. Working with Michelle was a dream, especially during a time when there is so much uncertainty and unknown. People are nervous, and don’t know what life holds for them, but in that 1.5 hour program we saw nothing but smiles, happiness, inspiration and empowerment. Thank you Michelle for bringing us together and giving us all an experience we can hold onto forever.” — Rachael Romig, Executive Director of Events & Special Programs, Women2Women, Greater Reading Chamber Alliance

Dan Heath

“The seminar was a great success and I think Dan is one of the best speakers of the world at the moment (together with Marshall Goldsmith). He combines a very relaxed style with a very intense message. That’s a brilliant mix.” –DenkProducties (Netherlands)

Neil Pasricha

  • Neil was an amazing and innovating speaker. The way he used the Zoom format as a tool versus a restriction was incredible and created such an engaging session.
  • Neil was phenomenal, not just because he was an engaging speaker, but he gave tangible actions we can take and avoided one-liners and cliches. He spoke about his raw experience, which resonated, and gave easy to implement actions. Also LOVED how connected our team felt through these sessions, as we lifted each other up virtually while sitting at home.
  • Neil was amazing – simple exercises I’ll continue on in life!
  • Neil was my favorite speaker throughout the entire RISE series. He held the most raw discussion about being your real self in the workplace and learning how to find your happy. I really really REALLY hope that my colleagues and leadership continue to hear his messages and implement the changes he recommends so that we can build a better culture.

Nataly Kogan

“Nataly’s humor, professionalism, and partnership had a positive impact on our attendees. She moved people and made them think differently – that is no easy feat.” –Cynthia Keeshan, VP of Strategic Events, Ceridian

Neil Pasricha

“Neil exceeded our very high expectations and we are hearing his name and work referenced across the organization, at all levels, on a regular basis.  We could not be happier with how he closed our meeting and left our audience on such a high note.  His presentation style, expert use of a virtual environment and tools, content, and takeaways are all contributing to internalization of his materials and message and commitment to lasting change – personally and professionally – at a time when we all needed it more than ever.” –Kelly McQuillan, Sr. Global Brand Manager – OASYS® Reusable, Johnson & Johnson Vision

Michelle Poler

“Michelle was a remarkable, inspirational speaker, and the virtual event was a huge success.  It was very well planned and the 60 minute time period (during the lunch hour) was perfect.  We received a countless number of comments about her energy, delivery and the overall success of the program.  Michelle and her team were very professional and awesome to work with!  Hats off to all for the PHENOMENAL job!” –Stacy Cohen, Director, Norton Healthcare

Dan Heath

Sally connected with our representatives like no other speaker has done before. They embraced their personality advantages and left more confident and motivated to take full advantage of what makes them fascinating. —Jason Sigala, Director of Events, New Avon Company

Amy Blankson

“Amy kept the audience engaged the whole time. Her virtual presentation was approachable and practical. She visually captivated participants, masterfully presented the benefits of being positive and gave them simple tools and systems to acquire skills needed to reach their goals. Some audience comments included: Thoughtful and practical – really enjoyed the discussion; I thought the idea of ‘habit stacking’ was smart and approachable.  Great suggestion!; Wow!!! This is a very important topic for anyone. It increases happiness in those who apply these ideas, as a result. Well done, thank you!” – Mykola Sarazhynskyy, VP Marketing Solutions, ProEd Corp.

Dan Heath

“I have booked Dan three times and he’s a slam dunk every single time. His last talk had our attendees laughing, crying and thinking differently about what they do and how they do it. It was one of the top 5 best talks I’ve ever seen delivered in my 25 years as an event strategist. He’s flexible and easy to work with. Most importantly, he cares—about you, your organization, and if what he’s sharing is truly resonating with your audience.” –LeadingAge

Michelle Poler

“Michelle has an amazing and inspiring message that is applicable to both personal and professional growth.  Her ability to adapt her talk to our primarily male audience was seamless.  I have heard nothing but positive stories of how her story is going to make our team step out of their comfort zone to grow.  The best part was she got 250 men to dance!” -Ingersoll Rand

Neil Pasricha

“Neil was very well received by our audience. We’ve heard nothing but positive comments. Our theme for the event was ‘Beyond You,’ and Neil beautifully illustrated how a shift in perspective toward gratitude can help us to achieve this. He offered three simple practices to begin achieving a positive perspective and challenged our audience to choose one. I do believe our audience left intent on doing so. We appreciated Neil’s warmth and wit, his connection to and interaction with our audience, his vulnerability in sharing his personal triumphs, tragedies and lessons learned, as well as his straightforward approach to achieving the ‘awesome’ in each one of our lives. Well done!”  – AdvoCare International

Michelle Poler

“Michelle is an energetic and inspirational speaker. Her session scored a total of 4.8 (out of 5) with many positive reviews. Her keynote “Fear less, do more” influenced our franchisees in attendance to be fearless in taking risks and being bolder in their actions, all while being extremely positive and doing good within their professional and social circles. We look forward in collaborating with Michelle in future events.” -Pizza Hut Latin America
