I’ve heard of speakers getting standing ovations, but this is the first time I’ve heard of a speaker getting a standing ovation BEFORE saying a word on stage. Kelly Falardeau has had this happen to her not once, but twice! I know, I was shocked too! You might ask yourself how this could happen?
Simple, a powerful story. When you hear her story, you’ll believe it too. The 2-yr-old who got burnt to most of her body; was known as the Ugly Scar-Faced Girl defied the odds to create an incredible story of love, hope, acceptance and perseverance. She is a multiple time TEDx talker, YWCA Woman of Distinction, Fierce Woman of the Year, 5x international Best-Selling Author and honoured with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal. She has graced magazines, TV, radio and media around the world. Not only that, one video of her life story landed over 8.7 million views! Yes, she has inspired millions of people and I am confident she will inspire your audience too.
She has four topics I believe will interest you and your audience and give them some great takeaways; Diversity: The New Inclusion, Perseverance in Today’s Demanding World, Not All Scars are Visible and You’re More Than Enough.
