Reviews
Empowering Message
- Sharon Williams
We’ve seen a lot of great speakers here at Disney, but Libby’s presentation was one of the most inspiring I’ve seen in a long time. She managed to blend practical business information with deep insights about personal responsibility and leadership. After a very challenging year, our group was ready to get back to work, totally re-energized by her empowering message.
absolutely Fabulous
- Courtney Rice
Libby was absolutely fabulous…a perfect blend of credible business experience, fascinating life circumstance (without being cloying—this is tough to pull off) and helpful insight into how to reframe stagnant perspectives and effect real change. The best part is her enthusiasm and humor—and her skillful avoidance of the type of rah-rah cheerleading cliché trap that many speakers fall into.
Dynamic Speaker

We are overwhelmed by your professionalism and dynamic delivery of your presentation on high-passion, high-performance. We consistently heard ‘she was a dynamic speaker!’ and ‘I enjoyed her presentation very much.’

Most Inspirational speech i've seen

Libby’s presentation at IASA was the most inspirational speech I’ve seen in more than a decade. Her message really resonated with the audience and she easily held her own with former president George W. Bush.
