 "I have had the pleasure of booking Emily as a speaker while in my capacity as Director of Education for MPI Orlando. She brought a delightful energy and expertise to her presentation on work life balance. Her talk hit home with our group because of her focus on the millennial and gen Z perspective on this issue. She is a delight to work with and will put the research into making sure her message is geared towards the group she is speaking too.”

 "One of the most well rounded professionals I know, Emily Smith has taught me many things over the years. Talking to strangers is a good thing (in a networking type of capacity), commitment to furthering your career should always be a priority for growth, and staying focused on yourself is the best thing that you can do for your own success. Emily's vision for a healthy lifestyle is truly inspirational with her balance of mind and physicality. I encourage anyone interested in keeping a balanced lifestyle to connect with Emily, as she has an incredible amount of knowledge and experience to share."

It is no surprise her speaking engagements involve work-life balance because that is precisely where she soars. You can see Climbing in Heels is a passion for Emily and she brings great advice and personal stories that captivate the audience. I highly recommend her as a motivational speaker for your upcoming event."
