I had the privilege of hearing Melanie speak at our Simply Said ‘Dare to Dream’ National Convention and all I can say is WOW! She was absolutely phenomenal! Melanie truly has a gift in connecting with people on such a deep level, as if she has a window directly to your soul. Each of us in that room left that weekend feeling uplifted, full of gratitude, confident, inspired to dream big, excited about our future, and empowered to reach our goals! I’m so thankful that she was chosen to speak at our event – it couldn’t have turned out any better! Thank you, Melanie, for sharing your amazing gift of inspiration with us!

Melanie Brown truly is an inspiration for our nation and beyond. A people person who puts others first, Melanie is first and foremost a giver. She is a professional of high integrity, a wonderful team leader and team builder, and a confident, accomplished speaker. I have known and collaborated with Melanie over the past few years, and every encounter is a personal and professional pleasure. I recommend her highly.

Melanie Brown is an outstanding motivational speaker. She gave the keynote address for the 2010 Sioux Falls Go Red for Women Luncheon, and she was a hit! She is extremely personable, easy to work with, knowledgeable and has a fantastic sense of humor. Melanie was flexible in adapting to our program schedule, and she had obviously "done her homework" to tailor her message so that it fit perfectly with our event. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and we heard many, many comments following the event regarding how much the audience enjoyed her program. I would highly recommend Melanie Brown if you are looking for a speaker that will lift you up and make you laugh!

I have not known Melanie long, but in the short time I have known her, she has been a very positive, uplifting and friendly person. I heard her speak recently at a Chamber sponsored event, and she was great. Her ideas and fun activities keep listeners interested and attentive, and she makes her audience really think about themselves and their business and how they can dream big and achieve the results they desire.

Melanie Brown embraced the cause of fighting heart disease and stroke in South Dakota. She brought her energy and passion for everything she does to not only speak at our event, but also to help us fundraiser and recruit other volunteers. Melanie’s keynote address at our Go Red for Women Luncheon was funny, informative, moving, inspirational, and left all of us energized to move forward in life with renewed vigor and excitement. I’ve heard rave reviews from both sponsors and attendees – and couldn’t agree more. Melanie is wonderful!

I had the privilege to work with Melanie Brown on the Go Red for Women Luncheon planning committee. I had heard Melanie speak at previous events, so I knew it would be an energizing experience to work with her on this committee. Melanie attended each planning meeting with a purpose and desire to get involved, not only as the invited keynote speaker, but as a committee member, contributing to the success of the event. She helped contact businesses, gather donations and plan the logistics of the luncheon.
Melanie was the Keynote Speaker during the luncheon, delivering a message that was entertaining and informational. The room was captivated by her humor and delivery of the important components of what she called the “Winning Hand”. Melanie has a creative way of sharing the message of the event and encouraging those in attendance to support the cause. Melanie is truly a motivational speaker that will inspire your next audience!

Melanie is inspirational, motivational, and packs a punch on her delivery of her presentation. I can't wait to hear her again. I would travel miles to do just that... I watched her as she captivated a group of around 400 people that were not smiling much until Melanie started in. She is the true WOW factor!

“To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet”…. Melanie exudes this throughout her talks, as well as personal life, making everyone feel that there is something in them. Her energy, enthusiasm and smile is contagious. I left the conference with anticipation of attending future events that Melanie will be featured at and would highly recommend her for any event.

Great time-great energy! I always feel better about myself when I am done. Feel like I have the motivation to do what I want, and to try new things. You're the best. ~Brenda
You're very enthusiastic! I feel inspired to reach for the stars and start working on achieving my goals. ~Jennifer
Melanie was such a delight to work with....that was a bonus! She quickly grasped my vision for the Go Red for Women Luncheon (fundraiser for the American Heart Assoc.) theme. At each meeting she had a new idea/concept for us to review......and seems like we always incorporated it into the program. While speaking, she is dynamic and certainly holds/grabs your attention. Exceptional woman! ~ Helen
