Testimonials (16)
  • It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Michaela. I have been following her along her journey the past year and decided to reach out for some career advice. To describe the feedback I got from Michaela in one word: extraordinary. She listened to my story and my challenges. She gave me a few good points on what to work on. And lastly she recommended a few other people I should speak to. I felt well understood, cared about and comfortable. She is no doubt an all star and will give you the best career advice you'll ever hear! Thank you again Michaela!

  • Anyone who has heard Michaela speak knows how incredibly gifted she is and how her message can touch the audiences’ hearts. She is raw, positive, and inspiring.

  • I started following Michaela when she had fewer than 10,000 followers on LinkedIn and had just started her adventures with Grade A Digital. Her attitude of positivity is infectious and you find yourself looking forward to reading her posts and watching her videos every day. It's refreshing to follow an influencer that is so open and willing to share their flaws and shortcomings right along with their successes and never hesitates to reach out and support her colleagues and followers. I highly recommend reaching out to Michaela and following her journey, you will not be disappointed!

  • I've been following Michaela's LinkedIn journey for the past two years and have learned so much from her. She teaches and lives such lessons as allowing for mistakes, being open with your struggles, vulnerable with your audience and relentlessly pursuing learning. Her example has helped me to break out of my shell and will help you find your voice in the age of social media.

She understands the Social Media Biz so well and can add stars to your business. I have been following Michaela for her amazing/refreshing content on platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram, her tips have always been helpful and result oriented. To top it all she is REAL!! A true influencer who would not fake or make stories, accepts her fears and challenges and will make genuine efforts to connect with her audience!

  • When I first came across Michaela it was through one of her (now pretty darn famous!) blog posts. I'd just gotten into Marketing and certainly had a month or two of imposter syndrome. I reached out to Michaela and was certain she would be inundated daily and would never get back to me. She did only 24 hours later and had clearly spent so much time on her reply, it was truly personal. It was then that I realised this woman was going to be a huge success. I now follow her on instagram and have alerts set up for when she starts a live stream, along with consistently watching out for her new content on LinkedIn. She is a breath of fresh air and completely genuine. If I lived in the US or Canada I would have made sure I'd seen her speak already. I still hope to one day!

  • First off, when you accept the invitation to keynote at an insurance conference, in Saskatchewan, in any month that is not June, July, or August, you have already exceeded expectations. And, to be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect once she got here. As a young CEO myself, I have spoken in front of large groups where I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to identify with or resonate with the audience. Michaela, though, has found a way to transcend that. From the moment she grabs the mic, she is distinctly herself — witty, smart, insightful, and blissfully awkward in a way that cuts through the stereotypes of what a 'conference speaker' should be, and bridges between demographics and industry. Her message is on-point, and she adapts well to the environment she's working in. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat — she's excellent now, and will only get better with time.

  • I have followed Michaela’s journey since first discovering her early 2017. Her storytelling skills and teaching abilities are phenomenal. Most important of all, she truly cares about the communities she participates in (I.e. Linkedin).
