And the book signing afterwards was a huge success!” Automotive News (Publishing)

You've made a lasting impact on all of us

“Today was a truly remarkable day at the 11th Annual GOV HR Summit in Abu Dhabi! I had the honor of attending the inspiring speech by Dr. Tasha Eurich, acclaimed as the World’s No.1 Self Awareness Coach.

Her session on “THE FUTURE IS HUMAN: LEADING WITH AUTHENTICITY, EMPATHY & ADAPTIVITY” left an indelible mark on me. Dr. Eurich’s insights into self-awareness and leadership are unparalleled.

What’s even more incredible is that I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Eurich in person, and she generously gifted me a copy of her book, “How to Succeed by Seeing Yourself Clearly.” I am truly grateful for this opportunity to learn from a visionary leader in the field.

Dr. Eurich’s work reminds us that success begins with self-awareness, and her book is a treasure trove of wisdom. I’m eager to dive into its pages and apply her insights to my personal and professional journey.

Thank you, Dr. Eurich, for your inspiring speech and for your generosity. You’ve made a lasting impact on all of us at the summit today.” –Aamna Alshehhi, Ras al-Khaimah Government

“She did a really fantastic job”

“Our audience responded very positively to Tasha’s program. She led off our 3-day event and, throughout the rest of the event, our group repeatedly talked about finding a loving critic. You could tell that it resonated with the group on actions that they needed to take to think about self-awareness. She did a really fantastic job of adapting her presentation to emphasize and include the points from our company.  She also weaved in the messages we talked about with her own materials and I especially liked her description of manager vs. leader.”  —Matthew Neff, Chief of Staff, The Chamberlain Group

“Her enthusiasm and positivity is contagious”

“How does one even begin to explain being in the physical presence of Nataly Kogan? Her enthusiasm and positivity is contagious, and she truly is the funniest person in her family. Nataly was real and authentic and left our teacher leaders with a wealth of knowledge on emotional resilience and why self-care is of the utmost importance for them to sustain when being a teacher is one of the most difficult things they’ll ever do. If you are looking for a drab keynote, Nataly is not for you; however, if you want passion, excitement, and humor, you’ll find all of that and more in Nataly Kogan.” –Paula Watkins, NBCT, M.Ed., Program Director, Arizona K12 Center

"The guest speaker was amazing."

“Tasha was amazing and the consummate professional! I can’t even put into words the impact she had on our team. The most consistent piece of feedback was “the guest speaker was amazing.” All our leaders have been talking about self-awareness since the event. I just got off a call with my CHRO and she talked about the presentation again and how our leaders need to lean into self-awareness more. We are just so pleased, and professionalism aside, I just like her as a person – so happy we met!” – Olecia Christie, Senior Director, Employee Communications, Banner Health

"Amazing in so many ways!"

“Amy’s program on Fearless Positivity exceeded our expectations, it was amazing in so many ways! Our team was very grateful and appreciative of Amy’s ability to weave in the things that we had expressed in our pre-meeting call that were important for us. She wove them in seamlessly to her presentation and made the connection to the audience (team, community, connectivity, coalition work, etc.).

  • Took away the Forest Bathing and how to bring that into your day.”

He was inspirational and thought provoking. People were moved to laughter and tears at different times throughout his presentation. They were 100% engaged the entire time he spoke, and have continued, even a month later, to talk about the lessons they learned from him. I’ve heard lots of feedback and interest in beginning practice of the “2-minute morning” routine and I think everyone really appreciated having these types of practical suggestions. I could not be more happy with the outcome! Neil is truly amazing!” —Healthy Families America

“I thoroughly enjoyed her message”

“During my company’s Be Bold hybrid event, I was one of the online participants that watched Cassandra as the Keynote Speaker.  I thoroughly enjoyed her message and the presentation, so much so that I wish it had been longer!  Her delivery was so inspirational, motivating and captivating, but all the while maintaining the ability to be relatable to everyone at all levels. I am definitely looking forward to reading her book!” —Sherri King, Manager of Administration, TransForce Global

“Michelle’s team was responsive and organized”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Michelle Poler’s opening keynote at our Emergency Nursing 2022 Annual Conference! From the beginning of the process to the end, Michelle’s team was responsive and organized. Her energy during our 8 AM general session was palpable in the room of our 3,000 nurses. The opportunity for our nurses to purchase her book afterwards and meet her, to also share their vulnerable stories with her of fears and stories, was much appreciated. I would recommend Michelle in the future to any other healthcare associations who are looking to bring joy and excitement to their opening general session!” –Emergency Nurses Association

“So powerful!”

“I am a Cigna employee and recently joined your webinar. My team and I joined together because just by the title, I knew each of my team members could benefit – and boy, we were right! we found all of the context and topics so relevant. My team and I support leaders as they coach, develop, and remove barriers for their employees. not only was it a benefit for my direct reports but for the leaders we help each day. One of our favorite topics and points you made was ‘servant leadership is not martyr leadership” – so powerful!

>Another item we really liked was “Multitasking is ‘switch tasking’ – we lose 25% of quality each time we switch task.” This spoke to me, and I fell victim of ‘switch tasking’ last week. I was getting prepared for taking a few days off and I was getting some emails sent and my out of office set up. The morning of last day before PTO, I realized my team and others were getting my out of office message early! Not only did I put the wrong date for the out of office, but there were also three typos. the funny part was I set up the out of office while I was on a call trying to ‘switch task’ it goes to show how one cannot do two things at one time…especially me! 🙂

I wanted to share my story and send you a big thank you for spending time with the Cigna family and the impact you made.” –Cigna

“Your messages will leave an important legacy”

“Thank you for being part of the Global Leadership Meeting! All 1000 leaders who attended were greatly impacted by your messages about self-awareness. At Gerdau, we believe in the importance of having people capable of performing admirable feats and prepared for the future. With that said, we are daily reinforcing that every human being is unique and has a singular way of contributing, so we value each person and their individuality. So, thank you very much for your time and dedication to share with us your thoughts and research. Your messages will leave an important legacy for the future we are creating. Thanks for contributing with that!” –Gerdau

"Definitely exceeded our expectations!”

“Carey was the perfect speaker to close out our event! Our attendees were engaged and energized by her passion and ability to transfer her past experiences to any setting, be it professional or personal. She was able to perfectly intertwine the message of her session, ‘Remaining Relevant,’ with our organization’s competency framework, which is at the core of our work with healthcare quality and patient safety professionals.

Having Sally come in and speak to the different archetypes helped bring clarity and a deeper understanding to our team on what makes us fascinating.

She was an inspiration!”
–UnitedHealthcare

"Carey was a huge hit"

“Carey was a huge hit at our conference of nearly 3,000 bank and credit union attendees. Her message around strategic partnership and delivery was well received by all. We had numerous comments after her keynote expressing how great she was and that it was nice seeing strong female representation at the conference. Carey does a phenomenal job of bringing the audience into her world – then showing how it can easily relate to them and their business. We had a lot of in-person feedback and via social media … one of which was a female client  that mentioned her keynote being excellent and related to being a Navy brat herself – Carey actually responded to her social post and kept the conversation going and I think that meant a lot to the person. It’s so apparent Carey loves what she does and was ready to engage with the attendees even after the event. She is a rock star and would be a great addition to any event you may consider having!”

“When we recorded Michael, I literally shouted ‘yes!’ Not once, but two times after a few things he said.  They had to edit me out.  I was so moved.  He was powerful, moving, not to mention extremely well-prepared, passionate, and authentic.  He made our CEO blush and was so proud.  What an incredible human being.”– Jennifer Robertson, Senior Event Marketing Manager, Remote Technology Services

“Nataly Kogan’s emotional fitness keynote inspired teams globally to find the time for self-care in order to thrive both in life and in business.

"I cannot recommend Neil enough following his presentation"

“The audience was completely tuned into Neil – his words and presentation. Even at the early hour of 7AM, looking around the room, the audience was locked into his story. I have already heard of so many people putting the 2-minute mornings into practice (including myself!), as well as taking time to get outside mid-day and shut down early at the end of the day.  I cannot recommend Neil enough following his presentation: it was everything we hoped it would be and more!” —Novo Nordisk

Thanks, Michelle!” –Thinkific Labs Inc.

"Simply The best"

“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
