“Maria’s keynote on leadership and resilience was captivating. Maria had such pose and composure when talking about experiences that were very raw. I was able to take away so much but in particular, I benefited from hearing Maria talk about how leaders are made. It was so inspiring to hear how Maria had transformed into a powerful leader and I appreciate her sharing her insight and framework which will help others to do the same.”

"I had the privilege of hearing Maria speak at the Self Made Speakers showcase in February, and she was unforgettable. Even before she said a word, her striking personal style and commanding presence had the audience leaning in. When she did speak, Maria shared her journey with such grace, vulnerability, and strength that you couldn't help but be moved. Her story of triumph over adversity is powerful, and the way she turns pain into purpose is nothing short of inspiring. A true speaker who captivates both visually and emotionally, I would highly recommend her."
