Rave Reviews About Sophia Amoruso
We had the honor of having Sophia Amoruso as our keynote speaker and she was AMAZING! Everyone loved her, the information she gave as a speaker has the attendees still raving days after the event. She was beyond kind, gentle, very easygoing and a complete joy to work with. She made every guest feel amazing. Her expertise in business is unmatched and her character speaks volumes as to the reason the universe has granted her such favor. I actually would love for her to come back because I can't even think of another speaker better to follow after her. So here's my take "She's going to be a hard act to follow"... we appreciated how humble, prompt and kind Sophia was.

SOPHIA AMORUSO is the creative visionary, entrepreneur, and industry disruptor who has forged an unprecedented path in building modern brands. A master at creating compelling virtual engagements and resources, Amoruso was sought-out for Ad Age Remotely to discuss her plans to pull off a large-scale virtual Girlboss rally, as well as for a virtual conversation on Maria Menounos' Better Together on "How Small Businesses Can Cope During Covid-19," and on Cheddar to discuss her new meditation guides and running a business from home. As part of her virtual Girlboss Rally, Amoruso and her team created a series of tangible, creative, and instantly implementable e-guides and virtual resources on making bold professionals and personal choices in these challenging times.
