Shelley is a passionate, energetic and inspirational speaker! Shelley spoke at our company's offsite business summit and she had the challenge of speaking in front of a very diverse group of associates that ranged in tenure, role and expertise. Her message and delivery was captivating and easily resonated with each person in the room. Shelley uses her wittiness, humor and personal experience to encourage her audience to create and embrace a work culture where each person feels safe to be their authentic self. I highly recommend Shelley for all audiences, especially for organizations and companies who value culture and belonging. Thanks Shelley! Emily Hartman, Chief Business Teams USA at Allianz

Shelley Brown, thank you for your vibrant energy and important message! You contributed greatly to the overall WOW factor at our recent Travel Exchange. We appreciate your sharing your time, talent, and expertise with the National Tour Association community. We had attendees from more than 20 countries, and what you shared resonated and set a tone of kindness, happiness, and inclusivity. What a wonderful way to do business, make new connections, nurture old relationships, and learn from one another. -Catherine Prather, President, National Tour Association

Way too much to say, way more than three thousand characters. Shelley Brown is a person of intellect, compassion, but most importantly, brilliance. She makes public speaking look like a walk in the park. She also teaches how you can be your own catalyst for self love, professionally and personally, for even the most difficult of circumstances in our daily lives. I met Shelley at a work conference and she spoke to us over an hour. Not only did I fall in love with what she taught, but I fell in love with her. I immediately hired her for my organization's retreat last month and she was the highlight of the entire weekend. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone who needs some love in the workplace and in our personal lives. She is truly brilliant and each day you have not heard her speak, you are missing out. Zach Wolf Co-Owner, Chief Business Development Officer, ASCOT Travel Services

"What is your weird?" was my favorite question from the Chief Belongingoligist Shelley Brown at our MGMRI SKO keynote this week and has stayed with me and made me giggle to myself a few times! She reminded me how inclusivity is so vital in leadership skills now more than ever! And she kept a packed general session riveted in a message everyone could relate to! I highly recommend her at your next keynote! Shelley Cruz, Vice President Global Sales, MGM Resorts International

I worked with Shelley to provide a keynote address for a group of 200 female leaders attending a women's leadership initiative for Marriott hotels throughout Chicago. Shelley was terrific to work with, truly listened to our objectives and conducted a lot of research to make sure she was knowledgeable about her audience. Her keynote message was engaging, energetic, funny, on point and motivating; she left our audience feeling exactly how we had hoped! I would highly recommend Shelley as a speaker for any organization. - Kristin Duncan, Marriott Hotels

“Shelley Brown is one of the most amazing, genuine people I have ever met and it translates through her spoken word. She is a fantastic speaker, facilitator, collaborator and moderator. I was beyond impressed with how she took the concept my organization was developing on mental health and used her WEIRD Adventures to help our audience open up and share. I am proud to call her a friend and would recommend her for your next speaking engagement.” Melissa Davis Peticolas, CEM, CMP, Professional Convention Management Association

“If you are looking for a presenter who is able to connect with your audience (and our group spans time zones) Shelley will ignite and excite! 
It was a pleasure to work with someone so professional who truly loves what she does.” Brenda Kolenda, National Concierge Association

We had the pleasure of having Shelley speak at our MPI Sunbelt Chapter’s EDUCON. She is everything I thought she would be and more. I watched her video on her website and it left me wanting more, wanting to meet her and hear her speak.

She graciously accepted our offer to come kick off our weekend conference. Wow, she captivated the entire general session. Everyone related to her. It was as if she was speaking to each one of us.

She brings excitement, love, friendship, honesty, humbleness, color, energy, calm, genuineness. Truly a well spoken and written human.

One of my favorite speakers. The time flew and when she was done, I wanted more. Shideh Doerr, CEO/Co-Founder JabberYak

“The GBTA South FL Chapter contracted with Shelley as the closing keynote speaker for our annual Day of Education. It was the best decision to end our day! Shelley is incredibly personable, animated, engaging, and really makes the human connection during her presentation. I would highly recommend her to speak at any organization. She was also such a pleasure and so easy to work with.” Alyssa Young, GBTA South Florida President

Throughout her talk Shelley delivered wisdom and hope that inspires people to accept and love who they are and live authentically without shame.” Sarah Garcia-Smith Manger, Pandemic Response Office & Health & Wellness Services University of Colorado Boulder

Shelley brings a passion and fun energy level to the room and really has a special way of getting everyone involved, making it a very interactive experience. From enhancing connection to "going first" and taking risks, her session contained wonderful best practices that we can use in our personal and professional lives and we are so thankful to have had her join us! Thanks Shelley and we hope to see you soon! Will Begnaud, President, GBTA Georgia Chapter

Shelley’s enthusiasm in her session is intoxicating! Her personal stories and art tell of a journey that the listener can identify and connect with even if you have never ran a marathon or painted a masterpiece. You will leave her session with boundless energy and zest to be you, your authentic WEIRD self. Madeleine Sanchez, Louisiana Tourism Association

Downtown Shelley Brown successfully shared the spotlight with me for a "Power Lunch - Nourish Your Brain" internal streaming broadcast with a few hundred UPSers. I received many positive comments about Shelley's speech from my fellow UPSers that the feeling of belonging did not exist at work before Shelley's presentation. After Shelley's presentation, they felt the power and connection that was missing from their career. Keep in mind, I am the guy who puts on costumes and pulls harmless pranks to engage my audience, and Shelley was able to "Out Weird Me." keep it weird; invite Shelley to engage with your organization and get those colleagues to spread their wings and roar (no that's not a typo, wings and roar are only for my fellow weird leaders.) Bob Scrivner, Global Business Director, UPS

Shelley is the perfect keynote speaker for a conference looking for something different, something fun, something meaningful. Her storytelling will captivate the audience and have everyone talking about how to make their part of the world a better place for others. I look forward to seeing Shelley onstage again! Jay Slayers, Senior VP Special Projects, Miles Partnerships

Your message to all was clear and delivered in such a positive way. We all need to work on creating the right environment for all to feel comfortable, wanted, and safe. Thank you for championing the cause for our fabulous industry. We need more people who think like you and bring their authentic self to all they do! - Kathy Bedell, Senior Vice President, Americas & Affiliate Program | BCD

“I was fortunate to attend a Woman’s Leadership event planned by my employer, Marriott International, the event featured Shelley Brown as our key note speaker.

Listening to Shelley was entertaining, funny, uplifting, and meaningful to me. Shelley left me with a reinforced message that its okay to be different and that you don’t have to ‘fit in’ to be happy and successful.” Melody Lanthorn, Marriott Hotel
