Select Testimonials
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!
Your messages around trust, inclusion, imposter syndrome, allowing failure to happen and be ok, really resonate with our workforce.
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.
Since your talk, I feel more confident and am intentionally using fear as my superpower as I show up in rooms this week. In my executive meetings, I've noticed my inner critic, separated its voice from reality, and reframed doubts with empowering statements. I'm pausing before speaking to respond with confidence and expertise, letting my ideas shine instead of being held back by fear.
I just wanted you to know that our Elevate 2026 event was amazing! The feedback from our operation is incredible! This is just what we needed to kick this year off, and seeing all the brands together is simply powerful! MACE was the best speaker I have ever heard; she made me laugh and cry.
Are you looking for an amazing speaker? One that will speak on Teamwork, Inspiration, and what it's like to fail and get back up. Without a doubt in the 40+ years that we've been doing this I've never seen anyone come up afterwards and say it was the best ever except this time. Michelle connects to her audience on a personal level and if we didn't cut off the questions afterwards, she'd still be there.
I received a call from a trusted colleague raving about Michelle Curran, aka MACE, and a recent speech she gave his organization. I immediately engaged MACE to provide a leadership presentation to PenFed Leadership across the US entitled, “Flying Through Fear: How Vulnerability Fuels Success”. It was a complete success, and her insight and positive, polished delivery will have a beneficial impact on PenFed for years to come.
That is exactly what my team needed to hear! You are so inspiring. The quote of the day was, "If MACE can do that, I can go make that sales call I've been avoiding."
Thank you for publicly talking about insecurity, vulnerability and fear. These are all things we all think about but not speak about. The feedback on your session has been overwhelming. You were authentic and genuine which is not something you see every day in the corporate world. Please keep moving this train forward educating, enabling and promoting breaking through barriers!
I've been attending conferences for 12 years, and this is the first time I've ever cried from a speaker. Your speech was empowering, raw, vulnerable, and admirable; this brought both happy and emotional tears multiple times. One of my biggest fears is that my daughter won't know her voice in this crazy world, and you are someone I cannot wait to introduce her to. You are what I want my daughter to be when she grows up, and I've truly never said that about anyone before, much less admitted my fear of her future to myself. You are truly inspiring and I hope our paths cross many times because your energy is beautifully captivating.
