REVIEWS
Melissa Pierce Reviews
-
Melissa is an engaging speaker who knows her subject matter really well. She doesn't lecture as a "guru", she's built what she has by learning on-the-go and now shares that experience with the rest of us. Melissa makes actually getting started much less intimidating with her "Let's just get started" approach - it makes you feel like bumps in the road are not only ok, but opportunities in the rough.

Melissa is a candid, vibrant, and effusive speaker. The world is transforming before our very eyes. Technology, the economy, and shifting political structures are forcing everyone to re-think, re-invest and re-position who they are in this world. Melissa spoke about her own personal journey and process of re-invention through film and social media. Melissa will inspire audiences to embrace uncertainty and accept their lives as unfinished products.

Melissa's knowledge of how people think combined with her charm and wit create a great environment to discuss what some people fear the most... the future.

What I love most about Melissa Pierce as a speaker is her fearlessness, authenticity and spontaneity. She is an engaging and passionate film maker and Life In Perpetual Beta is a great film showcasing some of the leading thinkers who are creating this current phase of our technology and communications zeitgeist. At the white hot center of the cultural transformation we were currently undergoing, you will find Melissa Pierce acting as Witness.
