“Energizing and meaningful opening keynote– a great way to start our event – it warmed people up for the day and got them excited about making connections throughout the conference!
Dr. Miriam wasn’t just our keynote speaker, she was an active participant in our conference – she engaged with conference attendees, attended workshops, introduced herself to our other keynote speaker, and made meaningful connections during our happy hour networking event after the official program ended. She doesn’t just talk about connections – she makes connections with those she encounters!”

Thank you for a truly remarkable and impactful event! We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with someone who brings a creative flair that adds that extra touch of magic."

“Miriam was a fantastic resource for our large group of CEOs and their partners. She immediately held the audience’s attention and interest, and shared her knowledge of the topic and deep expertise in ways that were simultaneously informative, provocative and unexpected, and persuasive… super engaging, highly interactive and conversational, great topic expert, gave the participants a ton of ‘take home value.’
