"Today, more than ever, we need to find our way back to kindness, respect, and civility. Shola Richards is by far among the top motivational speakers I have worked with (or heard) in a 25+ year career in media and marketing. He's entertaining, relatable and genuine. His skills, attitude, and message will pay tangible dividends to your team or event... and leave every participant personally motivated and engaged to do (and be) better."

On behalf of ASSP, I want to thank you for being our closing speaker for our virtual annual conference. Your interactive session engaged members and provided a call to action. The compelling link to personal commitments and action truly resonated with our members and attendees. At a time when so many areas of our life have shifted to a new and evolving normal, I believe you anchored your action in the values you are promoting, commitment and upholding it matters. This was evident in your willingness to shift delivery to accommodate the needs of our attendees. We greatly appreciate the contribution you made to Safety 2020 Virtual and the extra effort you showed to engaging with members directly and in our after-hour closing informal celebration. We always look for speakers that put our attendees first and you did. We wish you much continued success with your organization and offer high compliments and praise to other organizations considering engaging you to inspire and mobilize action.

"From the moment we connected with Angela we could tell she understood exactly what we needed to accomplish. She has a strong core message, but worked with us to figure out exactly what our teams needed and partnered with us to tailor her keynote to make sure it resonated with our teams. While we were disappointed initially that our in-person event shifted to virtual, with Angela as our partner we created something even better that we would not have accomplished in a typical year.”

“EXPECT TO WIN is a book born of deep experience, hard-won insight and abiding faith — a guide for the purpose-driven and perplexed alike. I can’t think of a book better suited to helping chart a sure path to success. If you are seeking professional instruction or personal inspiration, take my advice: put this book at the top of your reading list.”

"Natalie spoke in front of our 200 chapter leaders at our annual conference this year and delivered the most high-energy keynote presentation we have ever had. Her talk set the tone for our entire conference. She was quick to adapt her presentation, incorporating comments she heard our CEO make regarding our company's strategic goals (moments before Natalie walked on stage), making her delivery even more engaging and valuable. We received nothing but praise and positive comments regarding Natalie and her presentation. Our chapter leaders were often heard saying "You Are Necessary" for the rest of the conference."

“Since attending Jessica’s talk, I have started asking new coaching clients if there is anything about their identity or culture they would like me to know as their coach. Such great dialogue has followed.”

"Michelle made her story of conquering fears relevant to our daily lives; the audience left feeling empowered to face their own fears. Her talent shines! Her energy and enthusiasm are undeniable, and her visual designs were absolutely flawless. We look forward to having Michelle join us at many more events.”
