We had the pleasure of working with Miriam for the launch of our Sales Skills Academy at Nottingham Trent University. Miriam delivered a keynote speech to launch the programme and was truly inspiring for our students. She gave a fantastic overview of how sales skills have accelerated her career and demonstrated how sales skills are also key to everyday life. Her journey really resonated with the students, and she brought so much energy and passion into the room. I would highly recommend Miriam for any speaking events where you're looking for someone able to engage and excite the audience. She was also highly responsive in the run-up to the event, taking the time to understand what the key points were that we wanted the speech to reflect. She clearly understood the purpose of the session and put herself in the shoes of the students, to deliver a captivating talk. An absolute delight to work with.
