Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events

"Listening to Michelle engage in a conversation on “Adversity & Perseverance”, was thought-provoking and impressive. She took a potentially dry topic and spiced it up through her experiences. Her candid articulate style made the discussion relatable and interesting. This is also true of Michelle’s approach in her remarkable book “Am I Ugly?” where she takes the reader through her life’s journey. She imparts the same energy in her talks and her book, emerging triumphant and leaving the audience inspired" - Goldman Sachs

"Michelle shares her story - and discusses the sensitive, emotive issues around it - with eloquence, care and humour. In July 2018 I hosted a panel about body confidence (aligned with Women’s Health’s #InShapeMyShape campaign) and she was a total asset to the discussion. What I particularly liked about having Michelle up there was her tolerance and understanding of people (especially those approaching the conversation from a very different vantage point) not knowing everything - or using the correct terminology. She has that rare balance of qualities that I see as vital for thoughtful discussion: a readiness to challenge people and make the case for her point of view, but the sensitivity and warmth to do so in a collaborative way. I will certainly be calling on Michelle again for speaking arrangements and heartily recommend that you do too." - Roisín, Commissioning Editor, Women’s Health Magazine

"Michelle was invited to speak about Battling Body Image and Surviving with Scars at our Find Your Sense of Tumour Weekend for young people who have or had cancer.  Body Image is an important issue for our young people and Michelle provided some fantastic guidance and insights and really resonated with the audience.  We are hoping she will come again!” - Teenage Cancer Trust

"Michelle was invited to speak at our first Feminine Superpowers event on the topic of "Calming Your Inner Rollercoaster". She wowed our audience with her authentic, warm delivery and a story which is worthy of a Hollywood Blockbuster. Her ability to connect and engage with a wide demographic is her SuperPower!" - Feminine Superpowers

"On behalf of Millennium Point, I am writing to thank you for undertaking the Metaprogramme Elicitation for the Executive Team. The team have fed back and has asked me to let you know that they found it to be incredibly insightful and useful. It was good hearing about and talking through the dynamics around the questionnaire and it is something we will be able to build upon and be mindful of moving forward. It was well delivered and very productive for the team.” - Millennium Point

"Michelle gave us a really honest and emotional talk about her way of finding happiness and how to be perceived as a successful person. It was one of the best motivational talks that I have ever heard in this kind of event. The audience was excited and I was really moved when Michelle told us about her illness and then the hard work to become a self-confident and positive-minded girl. If you ever have the chance to hear this story, don’t hesitate! Everyone can find happiness, Michelle will tell you how to do it because she did it.“ - Ewa Galant
