Inspirational keynotes to move your business + your soul.
“Merritt hosted an Expert Session workshop for The Upside community that was bursting with her unique brand of expertise and quality advice. Our members (a very high-achieving, high-bar crowd) and I left feeling inspired, energized and seeing our future with more clarity. I recommend her as a coach, speaker or workshop facilitator (or all three!) to anyone who wants a wise, entertaining, and authentic expert who will make a lasting impact on you and/or your team.
“In the simplest of terms, Merritt is the real deal.”
— Erin Halper, Founder THE UPSIDE I New York City, NY

“Thank you for kicking off our program with a positive and powerful start. We wanted to try something bold but, at the same time, not alienate our audience. I was nervous, and I wondered if our class of entrepreneurs was ready for the Master of One Coaching approach. I am sure we had more chat comments in your 2 [online] presentations than I’ve ever seen! Our most important contacts thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. It was an outstanding experience.”
