“Miriam was a fantastic resource for our large group of CEOs and their partners. She immediately held the audience’s attention and interest, and shared her knowledge of the topic and deep expertise in ways that were simultaneously informative, provocative and unexpected, and persuasive… super engaging, highly interactive and conversational, great topic expert, gave the participants a ton of ‘take home value.’

"Dr. Kirmayer's research and work on adult friendships provided the group with a fresh lens to unpack the challenges and opportunities of virtual connections. Her presentation was thought provoking and filled with interesting facts about adult friendships. At the end, many of the members felt motivated to continue this line of inquiry, calling for another meeting to brainstorm on a specific collaborative research project."

“Dr. Kirmayer made the conversation easy and open from the get go, and was truly collaborative. Her knowledge, humanity and warmth made it easy to build an event that ended up being an overwhelming success both on the brand and guest sides. I highly suggest working with Dr. Kirmayer. She is a great speaker and facilitates conversation amongst guests. It was our first virtual event and I don’t think it would’ve gotten so many great comments if it wasn’t for her.”

"Dr. Miriam Kirmayer gave the opening keynote to a virtual crowd of over 1600 women physicians, and she proved to be a wonderful, inspiring and uplifting speaker – the perfect way to kick off our biggest conference yet. She held everyone's full attention for an entire virtual hour! We were watching the comments and concurrent chats live on screen during her talk, and it was evident that she touched the audience in a very special way, despite the fact that we were all physically apart.
Not only did she deliver an incredibly captivating talk, but she was also an absolute pleasure to work with! We are so happy to have had her on board for our conference and were only sad not to have been able to meet her in person."
