"A fantastic, high-energy presentation that was so well tailored to the group's needs. I've been to comedy clubs where the presenter wasn't as funny as Michelle. The energy in the room was electric, we most definitely learnt while we laughed. We will all be better at persuasion from now on. Highly recommended!"

"As a content specialist for this conference, I absolutely enjoyed working with Michelle. I had seen her presenting at another online event and was very impressed by her presenting skills, the ability to use story-telling techniques and the quality of content.  Michelle's session at our CAANZ Women in Business Conference was very practical, engaging and interactive. I loved the analogies that she used to embed the learning. It was very memorable. Our participants also found her content very practical, useful and they had a lot of fun!  Michelle contributed to the success of our conference. I am happy to recommend Michelle as a speaker and an expert in persuasion, communication and presentation skills."

“A huge thank you to Michelle Bowden for the impact her presentations have had on the development of our field staff. Michelle presented a very engaging and dynamic hour of influencing and presentation skills training at our 3 annual leader seminars in Auckland, Melbourne and Sydney for our group of approximately 600 community leaders and the enthusiasm about her content is still reverberating around the network.  We have also had the opportunity to continue delivering training and practice regarding Michelle’s techniques with the assistance of her input and her excellent book, “Don’t Picture Me Naked” so our leaders are growing more and more confident in utilising all of the presentation skills in their day to day roles to assist in providing positive influence to Weight Watchers members across ANZ. I have found Michelle an absolute pleasure to work with and her positive energy and extremely professional approach made the whole experience very valuable and one which will continue to assist our leaders with their skills into the future.”
