TESTIMONIALS

During Michelle Stilwell’s presentation: “Having a dream and finding a way to get there” this amazing Paralympic gold medalist talks about her journey from a spinal cord injury when just a teenager to world champion wheelchair racer. Along the way Michelle overcame pain, setbacks and the doubts of many to beat the odds and live life to the fullest as a wife, mother and athlete. Her moving personal story is told from the heart and her success is an inspiration for us all.

"It was a true pleasure and inspiration to have Michelle do a presentation for us on “Life Choices”. Her simple and sincere approach combined with the fact that her story is absolutely amazing, left our entire staff in awe and she received a standing ovation at the end of her talk. This was something I had never seen our office do before."

"Her smile, presence and inspiration left a lasting impression on me that have already served me well in my personal and professional life."

"Thank you Michelle for being such a strong and amazing person!"

To your success,

"One of the things I like to do with my team prior to playoffs is have a motivational speaker talk to the team. This year we had Michelle talk to the guys, WOW! Her story is one that inspires and also forces you to reflect on how fragile the lives we take for granted are. It was inspirational and thought provoking and really assisted our players mentally in moving to the next level."

Thank You Michelle

Sincerely,

Dave Johnstone—Manager/Head Coach

Mikey mixed in humour with her presentation which made for a very good time. At the end, when students and staff were dismissed, many stayed behind to speak to Mikey one to one. Mikey stayed in our gym for a good twenty minutes after the end of the presentation to talk to the many students and staff who stayed behind to ask her more questions.

From an administrative end, Mikey’s presentation was very easy to set up. She even came in with her own laptop with all the files preloaded. If you are looking to motivate students at your school I would highly recommend Mikey being invited in to speak to them.

All the best in the future Mikey and I can’t wait to have you in again next year for our new Grade 8 class.
