How
Professional Audiences
Respond to Mariah
After your
keynote, almost everyone crowded into your
breakout session, so we had to move you to a
bigger room - and still had to bring in extra
chairs. You were a huge success!
-- Trudy Gygi, IBM
"Your role as our
closing keynote turned out to be the Slam Dunk of
our conference. You absolutely made the impace we
were looking for in our closing session. You
helped our teachers start setting goals, and I
commend you on your professionalism. I have
rarely worked with such an eager and enjoyable
person. Those of us lucky enough to work closely
with you saw a model we could aspire to. The
response to your presentation was astounding,
with 95% of the attendees rating the program as
excellent! Teachers told me, "Where did you
find her? She was fabulous! She was the best
speaker I have heard at a conference! You really
do stand "head and shoulders" above the
rest, no pun intended!"
-- Cara Kirby, Virginia Association of
Marketing Educators
"You were such a joy
to work with! You arrived early, joined
us for lunch, and chatted with many of the
participants before and after your program. You
interviewed some of our financial consultants
before the program and integrated their quotes
and comments into your remarks. And as you could
tell from the laughter and applause,
your light-hearted Merrill Lynch poem was also a
big hit!"
--Janette Acton, Merrill
Lynch
"You have a great
depthof experience in all aspects of leadership,
team playing, and sports so you helped us think
outside of the box. Everyone also said how nice
you were and easy to talk with. Thank you so much
for a very special evening."
-- Cathy Podvin, Human Resources Association of
Greater Detroit

years, I have had the opportunity to hear a
number of speakers and I would rate your words of
wisdom, your style, and your overall presentation
as one of the most impressive I have attended. As usual, your fantastic presentation was
the highlight of the day. I had a number of
attendees stop and tell me how much they
appreciated your remarks."

General Services Administration
"The
very high standard you set will make it difficult
for others to match."
-- Glen Nishimura, USA Today
"Your keynote speech was
inspiring. You urged us to see the unique person
in all our students. Your sense of humor about

experiences as a female athlete motivated all of
us to support our young people in whatever
endeavor they choose."
