"I'm a veteran wedding pro who belongs to lots of organizations and goes to a TON of educational events. I've not only seen a bunch of speakers, I am one myself! When I go to these events, I'm totally fine with being entertained by someone who's engaging, personal, and funny, and I'm definitely good with learning solid takeaways and strategies I can actually use. Getting both in equal measure? Count me IN! Melissa is full of sparkle...her smile and engaging way about her is speaker gold; we were all hanging on every word. Everyone really got a kick out of her networking tips and the table exercises that got the audience even more involved. Yeah, we all learned something, but it was FUN, and you can't forget that! Being a business owner is NOT easy these days...the economy is rough, and constantly figuring out how to sell when everything keeps changing is tough. Having an experienced and engaging speaker who lifted us up and made us all smile was seriously needed, and so appreciated. I wouldn't think twice about recommending Melissa as a speaker!"

Melissa brought what our community needed to our Signature Event Series: clarity, connection, and a call to thrive. As the keynote for our three-part Signature Event Series spanning a coach workshop, teen girls’ session, and a community-wide gathering, Melissa brought clarity, warmth, and brilliance to every room she entered. Her ability to connect across generations and backgrounds is truly remarkable. She didn’t just speak to our audience; she activated something within them, which showed brilliantly in the engagement across all sessions. We witnessed women and girls step into their voices, lean into their confidence, acknowledge skills that need their focus, and leave with the tools to truly thrive. Melissa’s message lives far beyond the stage, it will leave a ripple effect across our community and the extended communities of our attendees.

Melissa Majors is a must-have speaker for your next event! She captivates the audience from the start, infusing the room with energy and laughter. Our attendees walked away with valuable insights on networking and leadership. This is the second time I’ve brought Melissa in—and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again and again!

It was so wonderful to hear you speak and have the opportunity to meet you at the Missouri REALTORS® Fall Business Conference in Branson. Your delivery and presence were so engaging that your message cut right through the negativity and cynicism that so often surround conversations about inclusion and diversity.

"Melissa Majors was deeply personable, engaging, and thoughtful as the general session keynote speaker at the Missouri REALTORS® 2024 Fall Business Conference. In her keynote, she captured the audience with her humor, approachability, and skill to connect her expertise to the larger industry. The infusion of her and her parents lived experiences allowed for a human touch on the importance of inclusivity, while her message delivery went beyond her experience by outlining how our members could intentionally incorporate inclusivity in their businesses. Melissa went beyond just being a keynote speaker. She attended governance meetings of our organization to engage members, attended an evening social event hosted by one of our member organizations separate from Missouri REALTORS® hiring her, and she spent the time to engage with a multitude of the hundreds of members in attendance at the conference throughout the day. She truly went above the traditional speaker and actively engaged to understand our members to deliver an impactful message. Overall, we strongly recommend others to have Melissa speak at their future events. Melissa and her team are refreshingly collaborative throughout the planning process, which made the experience for our staff and members a success."

"We’ve had the pleasure of working with Melissa to create custom workshops for our Sales Team, facilitation for Annual Strategic Planning and Coaching and we couldn’t be more impressed. Melissa is a master storyteller who has an incredible ability to captivate and engage her audience. Her creativity and passion shine through in everything she does. The workshops she designed were not only tailored to our needs but also filled with valuable insights that have already made a lasting impact on our business. Beyond her skills, Melissa operates with the utmost integrity, always ensuring that every project delivers its full value—and then some. If you're looking to elevate your team and engage them in a meaningful and strategic way, hiring Melissa is an investment you won't regret."

“Melissa Majors is a phenomenal keynote speaker. She is entertaining, knows how to engage the audience, and brings a message that resonates with everyone. I look forward to having her at our next conference!”

“If you are looking for someone who speaks with clarity and has a unique perspective in solving your important problem, look no further. Melissa Majors is the ‘real deal”! She lights up the room with her winning personality, authenticity, education, and interactivity. Her audiences leave wanting more.”

The Melissa Majors “bio” lists her as a “masterful storyteller, a leadership powerhouse, and an advocate for human-centered success.” All true. I know her as a trusted friend, advisor, and a force of energy and joy! She is the REAL DEAL, uncompromisingly authentic, unapologetically honest, and unbelievably awesome. Get ready to be inspired and awed!

We witnessed a room full of smiling faces and we discussed supporting the thriving of women in higher ed. Melissa you were my favorite speaker. It was a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for packing this day with discussions, ideas, and tactics that will empower women in higher education. I hope we meet again.

Thank you Melissa Majors, Mistress of Ceremonies, who commanded the stage like no other. You were incredible and you left an indelible mark on the audience that day.

The focus of this years Leadership Institute was on becoming a better inclusive leader and our discussion was lead by Melissa Majors. First of all, a huge shoutout to Melissa who was one of the best presenters/educators I have worked with. The style in which she presents, the way she included active participation with the entire class and her PASSION for the message all came together perfectly. I’ve never felt as engaged for a full day and a half as I did with her last week. Melissa focused on The 7 Simple Habits of Inclusive Leaders (she also published a book on this so check it out) and how to incorporate these habits with the style you lead, the direction of your business and your organizations values. Some of the takeaways were truly eye opening and some were a great and much needed reminders of things we should already be doing anyway. Most importantly I left thinking about one major thing— treat humans like humans. It’s so simple and it removes all the tags, labels, stereotypes, preconceived notions etc. from anyone you interact with in life. We all could use an occasional perspective shift and a reminder to lead with empathy and to focus on collaboration throughout.

Over my many years in association management, few speakers have made as big an impact on audiences as Melissa Majors. Texas Nursery & Landscape Association (TNLA) had Melissa speak twice in 3 months. The TNLA Board of Directors engaged her regarding a diversity message that could be carried forward to the membership. Because of the overwhelming strength of her message and delivery, the Board participated in, understood, and celebrated her message of inclusiveness. The messages resonated beyond their roles as Board members but also as small business owners and their relationships. Of course, we had her back!! Two months later, she keynoted a session at our Hort Forum. We continue to get feedback that her essential message was heard and will change how some look at their world forever.

Grateful! As for the MindBody, I just got off a zoom call with a colleague and we were both singing your praises. She mentioned that she is grateful for the support I have given to our DEIB efforts and the reception this has all received from our leadership team – very much mirroring the comments you shared. It’s great to hear from you that we are on the right path and to know that our leaders believe that we’ll need continued focus/investment in order to get the results we seek.

WONDERFUL PRESENTATION!!! Melissa I am so glad I was able to experience your presentation and get a first hand understanding on why you are SO in demand! So well done! I was blown away and so were many of my cohort members. You are getting RAVE reviews on the Zoom chat and in our Cohort Slack channel and I am absolutely beside myself. Thank you for sharing with us today, and also for your guidance throughout the program...it has been life changing.

"Melissa Majors' inclusive leadership sessions are some of the best in the industry. Her warmth and honesty create a welcoming environment where leaders can learn, examine and grow in a judgment-free environment. Her sessions were eye-opening, and thought-provoking and provided leaders with practical tips and strategies on how they can build an inclusive culture today."

Looking at inclusive leadership through the lens of empathy is what makes Melissa’s training so effective. The Seven Simple Habits of Inclusive Leaders provides tools for identifying blind spots and provides a framework for intentionally creating a welcoming environment that builds collaboration and sparks innovation. Simply put, Melissa is outstanding.

"Melissa worked with our Executive team and was successful beyond our expectations. It was wonderful to witness her expertise with our leaders, leading the inclusion conversation in workshops, 1-1 coaching and 360 assessments. She made an impact on our leaders and organization that will continue to yield."

Melissa offers a refreshing perspective on inclusiveness. Her stories and examples really hit home with our board and members. Too often we try to tackle the issue of DEI in a very intimidating way, Melissa makes it much more approachable.

It was such a delight to meet you Melissa – you officially have earned the status of BEST RCE LEADERSHIP LUNCHEON SPEAKER EVER! Seriously, your message was very timely as you can tell by the number of AEs that spoke to you following the luncheon.

Everyone is raving about Melissa's presentation!!!!! She is walking in her truth, skill, and talents!!! We are already talking about making sure we use her for some programs in the next year.

Thank you again for sharing your time, passion, wisdom and energy with us yesterday. The feedback has been overwhelming! At one point, we had 500 of our 730 employees on that Zoom! We just injected a huge burst of energy and inspiration into our company. Thank you! I am grateful to have learned about you from Chief and to have met you and I look forward to our paths crossing again!
