Testimonials

Michelle brings a very unique perspective based on her experience as a USAF Fighter Pilot which is incredibly inspiring and motivating!!! Despite not being in the Air Force or military at all, her vulnerability makes it super easy to connect and relate to some of her past experiences as a flawed human!

- Leader,
Purina

Powerful! Very interesting to hear her story, and although I cannot directly relate in many respects (I am not a pilot), I felt like MACE was able to communicate in a manner that moves you! She brought everything back to the real world and spoke to our hearts and minds that resonated with me! She shared so many great nuggets of advice that are actionable and empowering to make a change!

- Leader,
Wisconsin Women’s Leadership Conference

Michelle was the consummate professional, yet she felt very relatable and authentic. We were in awe of the dedication and perseverance that it took for a small-town girl to realize her big-time dreams! Truly inspiring!

- Organizational Excellence,
AbbVie

I’ve been in my role for nearly 10 years and thinking about moving into a leadership position for the last few. I often wonder if I am good enough or smart enough for this shift. Your message hit home and has encouraged me to take that leap of faith.

- Leadership NeXt,
Boeing

Your talk was incredibly inspirational and resonated deeply with so many of our team members.

- Diversity & Inclusion Lead,
Microsoft

I was speaking with one of our Southern California Sales Reps and he said he was so moved by your talk. He said, “I fall victim to fear a lot. It has held me back on many sales opportunities. Sitting there, listening to Michelle’s talk, I felt like she was just speaking to me. Her speech has inspired me to go out of my comfort zone!”

- COO,
Solutionz

I want to thank you again for your presence and remarks. I’ve been hearing accolades all day… things like, “best speaker ever!” You were magnificent.

- Headmaster,
Davidson Day School

I have gotten so many emails or people stopping me to thank me for bringing you to campus, they LOVED it… amazingly well received, I am so happy about that since you were a departure from the speakers we usually have.

- CELA Team,
Microsoft

The very honest, poignant, and personal stories you shared provided important and meaningful perspective and inspiration for all of us.

St. Mark’s School of Texas
