The Proof
Speaking Engagement Testimonials
“As the Manager of Education & Vendor Engagement at the World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU), I have had the pleasure of working with Miranda as a speaker at our annual international conference which is one the largest Credit Union conferences offered in the world with average attendance of over 2,000 participants and over 60 countries. Miranda was consistently rated the top speaker out of 50+ speakers, two years in a row! She receives reviews like ‘this was one of the most useful sessions I attended, Miranda was the best presenter, and brilliant session’. She has an incredibly unique way of engaging audiences from all walks of life, including Directors and Executives of Credit Unions that vary in size and complexity. Miranda’s renowned reputation and presentation topics draws people in to see her, and her presentation style gives conference attendees an amazing experience. I would strongly recommend her as a speaker at any conference and cannot wait to have her back to speak to our audience again!”

“Through America’s Credit Unions, I had the privilege of hiring Miranda to educate credit union Board Members through one of our most critical governance programs—the Board Development Certification School. This program is a key pathway for board members to earn their Certified Credit Union Board Member (CCUB) designation, and Miranda didn’t just meet expectations—she redefined them. Miranda was rated exceptionally high, standing out as one of the most effective and engaging presenters. I wasn’t the least bit surprised after personally experiencing her session. What truly sets Miranda apart is her ability to command a room. She has an unmatched ability to meet participants exactly where they are, which is no small feat when your audience ranges from witty economists to PhDs in education to IT experts. What is even more impressive was watching her effortlessly navigate contentious discussions—topics that would leave the most experienced speakers stumbling—handling them with a rare combination of grace, confidence, and natural ease. Her ability to turn tough conversations into transformative learning moments is what makes her an absolute powerhouse on stage. I strongly recommend Miranda and am already looking forward to the next opportunity to have her keynote at our future conferences!”

“As CEO of the regulator (CUDGC) for Saskatchewan credit unions, we had the opportunity to have Miranda provide a governance session through our annual system meeting. She provided relevant and emerging governance information that was very beneficial for institutions of all sizes. Miranda is a great presenter with understanding of the challenges that institutions can experience and provide suggestions tailored to the size and complexity of the institution. The session was very well received by all participants.”
– Brent Schellenberg, former CEO, Canada
“BoardPro attracts over 800 participants per webinar; these participants are Board Directors, CEOs, and governance professionals that are located in New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, USA, and the UK.
In an evaluation of Miranda’s speaking engagement, she is our top-rated speaker when compared to 150 other sessions we have offered, with a score that significantly exceeded other speakers.
Miranda delivers complex governance information and distills it down for directors to not only understand but to apply to their boards at their next board meeting and she does it with an energy that is incredibly engaging. She is able to speak to a wide audience with ease and is able to take a virtual session and make it feel like you’re in person with her.”
– Sean McDonald, Content Programme Director, New Zealand
