• Using a combination of humour, audience interaction and inspirational stories, Meg was able to engage and motivate our diverse audience of approximately 150 people. Meg was able to integrate key messages throughout the performance, tailoring it to the City of Brampton. She also took the time to acknowledge our staff following her performance, celebrating their accomplishments. Employee feedback to Meg's event has been overwhelmingly positive. We would not hesitate to recommend Meg... Thanks for making our event such a success!!

  City of Brampton

• Just want to drop you a line to say what a wonderful event we had last night! Meg was truly the highlight of the event! She is so charismatic, warm and caring. I can't say enough good things about her and her performance. She immediately connected with the theme, the MC, and the crowd. She was able to take in the comments from the audience and weave them into her act seamlessly. Her humour is contagious; everyone I spoke to - from the 80 year-olds in the front row to my 17 year-old daughter - found Meg to be a great speaker, one who can reach their heart and lighten it up.

  Medtronic of Canada Ltd.

• You demonstrated tremendous ability to connect with our staff. I personally could identify individuals I have worked with in the past that you described with such detail and humour. With your nursing insight and humour, our nurses were left with practical strategies to balance their personal and work lives.

  Hamilton Health Sciences

• Our event was amazing.  We have had all positive feedback and Meg is still the talk of everyone today and I am sure for days to come.  She was just what we needed.  I have had so many people say they have never laughed that hard for that long in their life.
