What Others Say About Michelle

“UpTurnships was privileged to have Michelle Perdue teach public speaking to our interns. Her combination of theatre, education, and speaking experience has developed into a master talent. Engaging and thought-provoking, she helped our Upturns to understand what makes for great speaking, not only in theory, but in practice. I would recommend Michelle as one of the best speaking coaches you could find, one who will upturn not only your speaking skill, but your trajectory of success.”
