TESTIMONIALS
As the Co-Founder of Speaker Slam and the Momentum Conference, I have had Ingrid Palmer on my stages countless times. Ingrid demonstrates the value of speaking your truth, reframing your narrative and standing up as an advocate for those who can’t. I highly recommend booking Ingrid as she’s a brilliant speaker and an inspirational leader in the DEI space who will add tremendous value to your event.
Rina Rovinelli, Co-Founder Speaker Slam and Momentum Conference
In the years I spent organizing staff trainings and events at Macaulay, and the subsequent years I have spent teaching at college and university, I have never seen another speaker impact an audience like Ingrid does. She is someone who people of all walks of life want to rally around, cheer on and draw strength from. No matter the content of her speaking, the underlying message inspires. Ingrid Palmer says “Humans are powerful – no matter what it is that you are facing, you can get through. You can find a way to thrive.”
Jess Wood, McCaulay Child Development Centre
Ingrid Palmer is an empowering speaker who engages her audience with meaningful insight inspired by her own lived experience. I had the honour of working with Ingrid in my parent volunteer role as Co-Chair, Parent Involvement Advisory Committee (PIAC) during Toronto District School Board ‘Parents As Partners’ Conferences. I highly recommend her.
