“Michelle McKown-Campbell was our closing keynote speaker at Brevard Academy’s Carpe Diem professional development day. She truly ignited a spark within every attendee, urging us to unlock our full potential and activate our awesome! With passion, empathy, and profound insights, she inspired us to embrace our strengths, challenge our limitations, and find wonder in the seemingly ordinary. Her words resonated deeply, reminding us that greatness lies within each of us, waiting to be unleashed. She left us with a message of belonging and acceptance. Michelle is truly an awe-inspiring speaker whose impact will resonate far beyond the confines of the event.”

“Michelle was an absolute pleasure to have as our final speaker for our inaugural Perdue Organization for Women conference in May 2024. From the start, my co-chair and I virtually interviewed a list of potential speakers out of the North Carolina area, and we both immediately said, “We have to have her!” when getting off of the phone with Michelle. Her professional, yet relatable nature made it an easy choice for us.
At our conference, Michelle was a rockstar. She brought warmth, energy, and inspiration to the room. We had about 30 female attendees, and all of them were so pleased with the content that Michelle delivered. The presentation was interactive, heartwarming, and best of all, made our associates recognize how AWESOME they all are. Post conference, we’re working with Michelle to ensure that the tactics we learned and promises we made to ourselves are followed through on. I can’t say enough about Michelle, as a person and as a professional speaker and coach.”
