What people say about Heather's speaking style

"Heather brings tremendous energy and enthusiasm to all her projects and conveys it when she is speaking. Her style is young, hip and ready to get things done." 
 -- Brad Templeton, Director, Foresight Nanotech Institute & Chairman of EFF

"Not your average lecturer - Heather Schlegel doesn't just speak - she engages. I've had the pleasure of seeing her talk on numerous topics at BarCamp events over the past few years. Heather manages not just to get her audience's attention and deliver interesting, well-crafted insights, but to *connect* with people at their own level with a chameleonic grace - no matter the subject - and deliver substance, where others bring only style. You walk away having learned - and that's the greatest gift a speaker can bring to an audience.”

 -- Mack Reed, Consultant - IA/UX, speakTECH

“Heather is ONE OF A KIND. She is the most real, most touching, & most motivating speaker we have ever had at our Microsoft DigiGirlz events. She has been a guest speaker a few times at our various locations, & she always, through her total honesty, relates to the audience & inspired them to "reach high, listen to their inner heart, & know there are no boundaries to what one can achieve in life". She is an excellent speaker, a motivational speaker, & one that knows how to "make a difference in people's lives" through a simple spotlighted talk. You would be lucky to have Heather speak at your events. We, at Microsoft, truly are.”

 -- Kim Schmidt, Microsoft Developer Evangelist's Assistant
