​What Are People Saying?

"Thank you so much for sharing your story with our administrators.  We were blessed by your speech in so many ways.  I have heard so much feedback from many of my colleagues since this morning about how much they appreciated you sharing with us today.  You really made a difference in our district today and helped set the stage for how we can better serve all students."
- Melissa Cooper: Director of Special Education and Student Support Services, Littleton, CO

​"Emily spoke to 6 different groups both in the public schools as well as church. She shared with over 1,500 students while here in Corpus Christi, TX and each presentation was so inspiring. I’m 62 years old and had become rather jaded about this particular generation and all the negativity that we hear about them, but listening to Emily and watching how she inspired so many students and teachers alike it gave me new hope for what lies ahead." 
​- Frank Endres: Business owner, Corpus Christi, TX
​
"We, at Evans High School, have had the privilege of hosting many speakers to come in and speak with our students.  One who has pierced the hearts of our students is Emily Zimmermann.  She has presented on multiple occasions at Evans High and her story of overcoming challenges inspires those who are hearing it even for a second time.  The true power of a motivational speaker is their ability to speak to different areas of a person’s life.  Emily has this gift!" 
- Marcus Allen: Assistant principal, Evans HS, Evans GA

"As a high school teacher who often works with students who feel like life is hopeless or their challenges are too overwhelming, it is wonderful to have a resource like Emily who empowers my students with new found hope and courage that allows them to believe in themselves."
- Mary Thomas: HS teacher, author of Kids These Days, Aiken SC

​"
I wanted to reach out and let you know that your presentation profoundly affected me. Your story was powerful, but more importantly, it was inspiring. You see, today I was feeling sorry for myself for reasons that seem silly right now. Listening to you tonight gave me so many different emotions. I laughed, cried, shook my head in agreement…Thank you, Emily. It’s because of you that I will now live my life to its fullest despite any obstacles. It’s because of you that I have strength. Again, thank you"
- Jan Bethea: student in Vera Jones's PSA
