Michelle Poler

SCAD was delighted to invite Michelle to address the SCAD Savannah Class of 2016 at the university’s commencement ceremony. She is a charismatic and high energy speaker with a gift for establishing instant rapport with audiences. Her curiosity, intellect, and optimism are sure to inspire her listeners to expand their horizons, visualize their goals, and find happiness – exactly as she has done.

Michelle is an outstanding speaker. I’m extremely grateful we decided to bring her to our annual event. The audience loved her energy and authenticity. Her session scored a 4.8 (out of 5)! They could easily relate to her message in many levels and implement her advice and tools into their day to day. I would love to bring her to more of our events.

Michelle’s presentation at Bayer provided insight to transform employees’ mindset and perspective of their fears, from not even considering taking action to thinking ‘What’s the best that can happen?’ Attendees also understood and learned the power in sharing their own experiences facing fears to encourage people around them to go after their own. Members of the WLI Workplace, Culture and Events team noted attendees continue to share their fear and new motivation to face them.

It was wonderful meeting you in person and the event was a huge success because of your incredible talk – THANK YOU!! I did want to share the great news that your session scored a 4.9 (out of 5) and was raved about in feedback! You inspired and motivated all who had the privilege to hear you speak! We have heard nothing but positive feedback and I have a feeling you may be hearing from other Women@ Google chapters across our organization requesting you to speak at future events.

Michelle delivered an exceptional keynote on her relationship with fear, growth, and ultimately herself at our women’s event. She is a true inspiration of seizing the day to live a full and compelling life that you can be proud of. We also needed to hear her story of a successful turnaround and DIY improvement to stay focused on the unification and progress of our community. The audience loved her content and her energy was a breath of fresh air. Big thanks for sharing your engaging and activating narrative. A remarkable speaker.

On May 25th, 2017, We hosted Israel Women Think Next event under the theme ‘Be The Best Version Of Yourself’. Women Think Next is an annual event focused on professional tech women, organized by Microsoft.

I have been in contact with many speakers throughout the years but with Michelle we found a refreshing personal touch – from the first reach to her husband/manager, Adam. She accepted our invitation to come to Israel, especially for our event and gladly agreed adjust her talk to the specific audience. We appreciated the fact that she didn’t come only to her session slot, but she arrived to the event in advance to network, and stayed longer to answer the audience’s personal questions, which shows that she truly cares!

The session was simply amazing. Around 150 tech female attendees listened, learned, laughed and danced! The impact was huge and everyone left with the courage to face a challenge in their lives. We even received applications of women interested in working at Microsoft who pointed out they gathered the courage to do so after hearing Michelle.

I personally can’t wait to hear her again!

“Michelle was dynamic, interactive and full of energy! Every single moment of her program was carefully crafted and kept the audience engaged and inspired to do more and fear less.  She is a GEM!” 

“Finding a speaker who is entertaining, funny, relatable and that brings content that actually helps our Reps do a better job and be more confident is not easy. Michelle did every one of those things and we could have listened for another hour!”
