"[Peggy Noonan] is writing with such transparent conscience that I believe that she captures the American condition and the American voice....Peggy Noonan delivers, weekly, a reasonable approximation of what the better angels of our nature may (or are supposed to) sound like. Hers is an exhortatory idealism tempered by a rare common sense. She is perceptive, persuasive, principled and patriotic."

- Tunku Varadarajan, professor at NYU’s Stern Business School, on Forbes.com

Acclaimed journalist, bestselling author and Political Analyst for NBC News & MSNBC Peggy Noonan was awarded the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for distinguished commentary for her Wall Street Journal column Declarations.  Heralded “for her prescient pieces on Donald Trump and the political uprising his candidacy represented," the prize committee hailed Noonan, “for rising to the moment with beautifully rendered columns that connected readers to the shared virtues of Americans during one of the nation’s most divisive political campaigns.“ With experience working in the White House as a Former Special Assistant and Speechwriter to President Ronald Reagan, Noonan brings her sharp commentary and profound insights on Washington to each of her engagements. In 2018 she's already been sought-out to share her views on leadership and politics at the American Hospital Association's Annual Meeting and the Detroit Regional Chamber Mackinac Policy Conference. 

"People thoroughly enjoyed the conference and found Al Gore to be intellectually impressive, extremely knowledgeable and highly entertaining. What surprised most people was the passion in his delivery. The most commonly used description of his speech was 'inspirational.'"

An environmental, business and tech visionary just honored with the humanitarian tribute at the Gotham Awards, Al Gore is at the undisputed epicenter of the global conversation surrounding climate change.  A decade after his Academy Award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth  drew millions to the box office and forever changed how the world thinks about climate change, Gore made history again with his much-anticipated An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power. Selected as a New York Times Critic's Pick and certified FRESH by Rotten Tomatoes, Gore’s documentary was a critical success that re-sparked the global conversation surrounding the climate crisis just as President Trump announced the U.S. would be withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. Sought-out for interviews by major outlets from NBC’s Today Show and Fast Company to CBS’s Sunday Morning and National Geographic, Gore delivers a powerful message of urgency and optimism: the sustainability revolution will not be stopped. In-demand at premier events, such as the recent Innovation and Breakthrough Forum, the Milken Institute’s Asia Summit and Women’s Leadership Summit, and the Ashden Awards Ceremony, Gore's keynotes are known to empower and generate legions of inspired tweets. 

"Gloria Steinem was beyond gracious and captured everyone's heart today. Remarks were: "Today made a difference in my life." She had so much energy and didn't rush through her speech, questions or signing books. It was an honor to have her headline our annual luncheon."

-Margaux's Miracle Foundation

"All I can say is that the experience of having Gloria as our keynote was magical. She was gracious and warm and everyone just loved it!"

"Gloria was absolutely amazing. It was like an out of body experience to hear from her. Everyone was blown away."

An iconic visionary of the Women's Movement, Gloria Steinem's dynamite speech at the historic Women's March on Washington not only went viral-- racking up hundreds of thousands of views on Youtube and getting republished in countless outlets from The Los Angeles Times to TeenVogue-- but it captivated the next generation of feminists, providing guidance and inspiration for a path forward. Steinem brought the same passion, energy and wry wit to her commencement speech at New York's School of Visual Arts, which nabbed the top slot on Buzzfeed's list of the 9 Most Inspiring Commencement Addresses. Set to be the subject of a new biopic by legendary director Julie Taymor, Steinem's optimism, words of empowerment and perspectives on global feminism have been the subject of articles in Quartz and The New York Times as she remains an invaluable political activist and leader. As a recent Vogue headline succinctly summed up: “Gloria Steinem’s Advice for the Next Generation of Feminists Is a Must-Read for Our Time.”
