“Mariana Atencio’s keynote, ‘Perfectly You,’ was an unforgettable experience. Despite the size of the room, with over 126 attendees, she effortlessly connected with each person. By stepping down from the stage and engaging directly with the audience, she created an atmosphere where we all felt seen and heard. A standout moment was when she asked, “What’s the most impactful thing that has happened to you in your life?” This simple yet powerful question led to many emotional responses, with people moved to tears as they reflected on their personal journeys. It was a raw, vulnerable moment that made the message even more meaningful. Mariana’s blend of fun, energy, and deep insights kept everyone engaged throughout the session. Her authenticity and the genuine care she showed for the audience made her presentation not just inspiring but also enjoyable. By the end of it, I felt motivated to pursue the best version of myself. Mariana Atencio is an exceptional speaker, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a transformative experience!”

“Thank you for your inspiring and super helpful session yesterday on The Power of Being Perfectly You. I needed to hear everything that you (and the participants in the chat!) had to share. I am a “recovering perfectionist” and the insights that “it is not about being perfect, but being perfectly you” encouraged me deeply. I was also moved by your sharing about your time as a newscaster and how you felt like you were put in a box and couldn’t be your authentic self. I resonated with your story and that helped me yesterday. I was the one who shared in the chat that my “fork in the road moment” was when I decided, due to some challenges in my life, to leave my false self behind and embrace my true self. I wanted to share this note to hopefully encourage you and let you know that you are making a difference. Thank you for being you!”
