Michelle Li Reviews

  • As a conference producer, I’m always on the look out for game changing solutions and individuals creating a meaningful impact. Michelle's support at our CCUS Forum in Doha was nothing short of exceptional. She launched a "Women and Climate" event as part of the forum that energized the audience and rallied women to work in climate, and in her role as the Master of Ceremonies for our full day of technical workshops was truly inspiring. Michelle not only motivated our attendees to connect and engage but also encouraged us all to be mindful of our carbon footprint throughout the event. Her unwavering professionalism, dedication, and inventive ideas have significantly elevated the quality of our conferences. We consider ourselves fortunate to have crossed paths with Michelle and are eagerly anticipating her return for our upcoming event – preparations are already underway!

  • Michelle Li was a keynote speaker at our annual Tech Conference. Michelle was a consummate professional throughout the entire planning process. Michelle has a masterful understanding of the carbon footprint of common, everyday actions and what is required for employees to feel empowered to create meaningful change within their own companies. Her talk was engaging, timely, and relevant and her "carbon footprint quiz" was informative and fun and fully aids others in making more informed, sustainable decisions every day. I highly recommend Michelle as a speaker for conferences.

  • Michelle Li's powerful keynote, ‘A Brief History: Carbon Footprint Edition,’ at Google's Sustainability Summit in Berlin, was rated the best by attendees. Her insights and strong call to action inspired collaboration on green innovation. What truly set her presentation apart was its fun, light, and unexpectedly different approach, making a complex topic engaging and memorable. Michelle's impactful and unique delivery left a lasting impression and boosted our shared commitment to a greener future. We are certainly looking forward to including Michelle as a speaker at our future Google summits and events.
