"Michele did an amazing job last night. She was so lively, conversational, inspiring, and uplifting. And she really connected with the audience by telling authentic stories from real people. The audience simply LOVED her - and you know what? We did too! I must confess, she's one of my all-time favorite speakers that we've had at Newsmakers."
Dean & Margaret Lesher Foundation
