I highly recommend Michelle if you’re looking for ways to inspire your team to be bold and brave with new challenges or projects.

MACE provided a leadership presentation to PenFed Leadership across the US entitled, “Flying Through Fear: How Vulnerability Fuels Success”. It was a complete success, and her insight and positive, polished delivery will have a beneficial impact on PenFed for years to come.

One of our Sales Specialists shared this with me after hearing your presentation. “Listening to Mace’s speech froze me. I sat there listening to talk about her fears, self-doubt, and struggles. Tears welled up in my eyes and I realized she went through the same emotions I have wrestled with about becoming an Account Executive.” She started tearing up again as we spoke. She told her RVP later that night that she was ready to make the transition! Thank you for being such a positive influence on so many in our team.

Michelle had us laughing, some of us even cried. We broke down invisible walls as she moved us towards a better version of ourselves. Each of us walked away motivated and ready to take on more life. Ready to take action, now.

That is exactly what my team needed to hear! You are so inspiring. The quote of the day was, “If MACE can do that, I can go make that sales call I’ve been avoiding”.
Royal Bank of Canada
Without a doubt, in the 40+ years that we’ve been doing this, I’ve never seen anyone come up afterwards and say it was the best ever except this time. Michelle connects to her audience on a personal level and if we didn’t cut off the questions afterwards she’d still be there. Every one wanted a picture with her.
