Dr. Angela Duckworth, winner of the 2013 MacArthur Genius Grant for her pioneering research on grit and development of the Grit Scale, publicly praised Caroline’s TEDx Grit presentation, saying “Beautiful talk by a paragon of grit! Caroline, bravo!”

Caroline did an incredible job! Her message “Grit: How to Get Things Done” was impactful. She had total command of the subject matter. Caroline had a cool way of speaking academically as well as using “hip” words and timely examples that everyone related to. We appreciated that she stuck around to sign books and mingle with our members long after her keynote.

I was very fortunate to run across Caroline Miller in my search for an impactful speaker. Her focus on grit, goals, and creating your best life fit perfectly with our goals. Once we scheduled our event with Caroline, she and her team worked with the utmost professionalism. Every detail from audiovisual needs to speaker transportation were addressed. Additionally, Caroline took time to schedule a call with me to learn more about our organization and what my goals were for the event. On the day of the event, she was very positive, helpful and well prepared. Her speech was flawless and she gave our members “food” to take home and consider. We believe she inspired our members to be better women, moms, and contributors to their communities. I would highly recommend Caroline Miller to any type of business or non-profit that is looking to create a memorable and impactful event.

We have received excellent feedback and, in working with us, Caroline went ‘above and beyond’ in making the most of opportunities to connect with our students, staff and community. She is an inspiration.

Caroline was a powerhouse at our 2016 leadership conference. She challenged us to put the ‘awe’ back into awesome and how to use grit to accomplish our hard goals. Her message of ‘you can’t keep what you don’t give away’ inspired bold sharing and deep conversation from the audience and has continued to resonate throughout the organization beyond conference.

Your keynote at the 2017 Learning and the Brain Conference has given many educators and clinicians access to information that will benefit their work with children, adolescents and families. They will be returning to their schools, districts, organizations and programs with fresh insights based on solid research.

Caroline Miller has been Vector’s Executive Coach for several months now, which has completely altered the dynamic of our entire office. Because of that success, we contracted with her to address our senior management team on the topics of positive phycology and “grit”. In my 40 years in business, I have never left a presentation with the enthusiasm for both business and life as I did yesterday. She spoke to us for two hours and without exception, every one of my managers wished she could have stayed longer. All I can say is “motivating, incredible and informative”

Caroline Miller is an inspiration! Her engaging and powerful presentation resonated with our audience of scientists by incorporating data and research on grit into her stories and observations. She taught us not only why grit is so critical, but how to cultivate perseverance and passion to achieve our goals.

There are only two speakers I’ve ever heard who are worth the time, money and effort it takes to get there. One was the first blind person to achieve the summit of Mt. Everest. The other is Caroline. She is mesmerizing, authoritative and exceptionally skillful at communicating her passion for goal accomplishment and Positive Psychology.

The audience sat spell-bound, engrossed and engaged as Caroline led us through a presentation and fascinating interactive group discussions focused on helping us capture insight into what our actual happiness drivers are. You know that you have presented a home-run program when you receive feedback like this from one of our attendees: I Just wanted to tell you that last night’s PowerUp Your Happiness was the best program I have ever seen at an association event.

Quit or Grit? Caroline’s presentation to the membership of the Human Resources Leadership Forum of Washington, DC provided a unique and thought-provoking point of view about the relationship between goal setting, achievement and behavioral change.

I encourage all leaders to follow her and take her Authentic Grit Challenge.

Caroline is an inspiring speaker. Her mastery of the information and passion for empowering her audience is a winning combination.

Where did we find this gem? Fabulous!” Caroline was spectacular, engaging and gave us practical tips that we can put to use right away. I loved this speaker, and I don’t say that about most speakers. She was first-class and scientifically sound. I will be better at what I do because of her talk.

We asked Caroline to be the keynote speaker for the McLean Chamber of Commerce Women’s Leadership Forum – our theme was The Next Chapter. Caroline’s message, “Goals, Choices, Regrets….Next Chapter” couldn’t have been more on point or inspiring. She challenged us to be intentional and proactive in all that we do – crafting goals that give life meaning; a life without regret. She changed lives at the event.

Excellent choice of a speaker! Ms. Miller was very articulate, knowledgeable, and inspiring. She possesses just the right amount of energy and stamina in presenting the material: positive psychology. Her presentation style captivates, invigorates, & engages the audience.

Caroline helped us see that we have something special; that we have displayed grit from our inception; and, that dreaming big and bold is something we MUST continue to do.

Your talk was thought-provoking, fascinating, and refreshingly honest. The excitement seen during the Q&A discussion is certainly a testament to the relevance of your work and the quality of your presentation.

Caroline provided a framework for thinking about what helps people persevere, and what skills and attitudes they might marshal to maximize success in their personal and professional lives. Interesting and inspiring!

Caroline’s energy and expertise hit the mark… Caroline got my people excited about the agency they have around their own job satisfaction and happiness. Caroline’s dynamism shines in the room without question, but her content shifts mindsets and helps make people an active participant in their professional experience. We are very grateful she shared her wisdom with our teams. Thank you, Caroline!
