Reviews for Becky
“Becky Blades is a captivating and inspiring speaker. She has twice spoken and emcee’d our organization’s gala, energizing the audience to prepare them for two record-breaking fundraising auctions. In a more intimate presentation, she gave a stirring commencement address for graduates of our job training program. She authentically connects with people in all walks of life.”
“I booked Becky Blades to speak at National Charity league after seeing her at a large women’s gathering. She is entertaining, engaging and masterful at adapting her personal experiences to different audiences. Our group had 12- to 18-year-old daughters. Most recently, I saw her charm a sold-out adult crowd at a comedy show she created and hosted! She’s a marvel.”
“Becky Blades is a creative force with the answers to all your excuses. I do whatever she tells me to do, and you should, too. She will have you starting things that scare you and wondering what took you so long.”
