"It is my great joy to meet with people after speaking engagements. I am always honoured by the intense reactions to my message It allows me to see first-hand the change taking place in their perspective. Sometimes, there is an emotional outpouring from people touched by my message. That is the most gratifying part of my career – seeing people’s light turn on, sharing in the transformation. And that is why I never get tired." Michelle Smith
I take pride in working with adults – by helping them to recognize that character equals destiny…that success in careers, relationships, health and life can be determined by the actions that we choose to take or not take; that ultimately we are the architects of our own lives. As human beings, we have a tendency to concentrate on all the ways life can beat us up. I encourage people to shift to an “attitude of gratitude”, and to open up to the good fortune that surrounds all of us. Michelle Smith
