What people are saying
“Mel was inspirational, comforting, challenging and pragmatic, all wrapped into one. Although our engagement was done virtually, she made all 4,000 associates feel that she was in their living room, engaging them directly. Her impact will be profound, both personally for our associates, as well as for our business as we emerge stronger in a post COVID world.”
“I have been doing what I do for over 20 years – almost 8 with HFMA – and in that time I have never worked with a speaker as engaged as Mel. Her commitment and investment in making ours a successful event is unprecedented. I look forward to working with her on the rest of our program.”
