Reviews of Our Speakers
“Michelle was a great addition to our program. She shared smart data in an accessible way and really engaged our leaders. She gave them things to consider and actions to take to adopt a positive mindset that will help with their businesses (and in their lives).” –Brian Pilling, Sales Director, Stampin’ Up!
“Michelle’s message is hugely applicable and incredibly timely for every organization right now, as we navigate unprecedented changes. Her message of Broadcasting Happiness will be carried like a banner throughout our global organization and give our leaders a framework for motivating our teams and leading with positivity.” – Amanda Peters, Director of Marketing, DURAVANT & nVenia
“Michelle Gielan had us at hello with her infectious smile and energetic personality. But it was the practical ways we can put the research and ideas she shared that had everyone buzzing. Some attendees said they were skeptical at first ‘here’s another think positive speaker,’ but left very impressed and motivated by Michelle’s message. One of our best speakers ever.” –Gary Vann, SVP, Sales & Marketing, Mighty Auto Parts
“Michelle exceeded expectations and really reinforced the message we wanted to deliver to our attendees. This aided greatly in achieving our goal of setting the tone for a positive convention where minds were open to learning new ideas and attendees left inspired to accomplish more with their businesses.” –President, United Real Estate
“Michelle is a delight and everyone was overly impressed with her message and her positive spirit. Many times at conventions we find ourselves so involved in industry material that we fail to look at other opportunities to have speakers that help us in life, and being positive. The world is a crazy place at times and it seems that we need many more people to understand how to be happy and live life to its fullest. Michelle teaches us the power of being happy and how it impacts every aspect of our lives.” — Director of Business Development, United Real Estate
“Michelle Gielan is one of the brightest stars in positive psychology and an eloquent champion for rethinking the way we communicate—at work, in our lives, and especially in the media. In Broadcasting Happiness, she draws on the latest science and her own experience in the news business to passionately argue that by telling more positive stories and giving the full picture of what’s actually happening in our world, we can create a ripple effect that can truly make a difference in people’s lives.” —Arianna Huffington, editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post
“Michelle was more incredible and down to earth than I could have even expected! I believe she connected well with our multiple audiences and made her content approachable for all roles of our organization. We took the 21 Day Challenge in an email campaign and our open rate was twice the industry average AND our click through rate to her tools was nearly THREE times the industry average! On the discussion day, we talked about how easily the tools could be incorporated into work and family life, particularly the Zorro Circle. We also talked about how much difference the Power Lead has made! Many folks are using a Power Lead who did not attend our event. That piece has gone viral and become a part of our fabric! Michelle Gielan truly made an impact on our organization!” —VCU Health System
“Michelle’s presentation was fun, thought-provoking, and provided our staff with the knowledge and resources to effectively “broadcast happiness” to better support the success of our students and educators.”–Sunnyside School District
“Michelle Gielan’s buoyant, poignant, and uplifting message was the cornerstone of our entire three-day event. Because of the power and eloquence of Michelle’s message, we specifically crafted our attendee experience and engagement strategy to align and underscore the influence of positive communication and “Broadcasting Happiness.” Michelle’s warm, inclusive, and elegantly polished delivery brought our group of 200 into her enchanting inner circle. Our group includes data geeks, research nerds, and senior business executives…a diverse group that expects that theory is backed by proof. Before Michelle’s presentation, some were concerned that her message could have been considered subjective, or potentially even emotionally squishy. Well, the doubters weren’t doubters for long – Michelle and her message not only resonated, but also transformed our audience to adopt the challenge of radiating happiness. Including Michelle Gielan in an event is to ensure happier, more productive, more successful outcomes for your group.” –The Incentive Research Foundation
“Michelle, thank you for the great presentation. I really enjoyed it and got a lot out of it. At the end of our summit, I asked our participants to discuss what they took away, and there was a lot of enthusiasm for your talk.” –Sentient Jet
“Michelle, I just wanted to say great job on your presentation. Going into the summit, yours was not one on the presentations I was initially interested in, but leaving the summit it was the most memorable and inspiring. I’d like to put the ideas you mentioned into practice. Thank you for the inspiration and best of luck!” —WiCON Network
“Great Presentation at the ALA Conference in Vegas! I was very impressed with your presentation, thank you so much.” —Cummins & White, LLP

“Great talk! Good insight and very motivating here in Tampa!” —Zoll Cardiac Management Solutions
“Michelle’s presentation exceeded my expectation, and I have received positive feedback from my team already. My team works under lot of pressure to deliver on our financial commitments every month, quarter, and year. Michelle’s simple tips on how we could improve our health, relationship, and performance resonated well with me and many of my colleagues.” —Philips Healthcare
“Michelle, Thank you for your participation this year’s seminar. I got the feedback from the participants that your session was very successful this year. All 38 attendees from Korea went back home last Friday with a big smile!” –KPMG
“Thank you very much for the time you spent with our staff this morning. You did a great job with the session and judging from our staff’s reactions, the concept resonated well with them. I am sure they will put the ideas that you shared to good use and improve their communications/relationships with friends, families and co-workers. I know I will put some of the ideas to practice immediately.” –Modern Healthcare/Modern Physician
“Michelle presented to our top leaders from around the world and was well received. I was looking for a strong message on the power of positive thinking and Michelle exceeded my expectations with her scientifically supported data, energy level and down to earth style of presentation. I received several personal messages from key leaders around the world that the results were very positive when they used the techniques she promoted. They referenced using at home with family members and at work with staff. Thank you for carrying the torch on positive thinking. I’m a believer and a fan of your work.” –Kimball International
“Michelle has a compelling story about how she found her compass and how she helps others find theirs. She was a poised speaker with a positive and resounding message that challenges you on the approaches you take with others.” –Texas Society of Assn Executives (TSAE)
