"Heather Mills was a delightful Guest Speaker at The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Fundraiser in Houston, Texas. She entertained the audience of 500 with stories of her childhood as well as her adulthood and how she lives life daily as a "Strong Woman," the theme of our event. She was a pleasure as a guest and was a definite drawing card that helped us sell out the room on this, our first time event!."

"Heather's life story and her honesty about her own background provided a heartening role model to those who attended. The description of her physical dilemmas in such a down-to-earth, and sometimes amusing manner created an admirable background for her innovative strength of purpose concerning the landmine problem. Probably the most common word I heard used to describe the event was "inspirational." Also, I thought "this woman is superhuman" and then she would say something that proved she is human, and that humans can do great things.

Heather is an excellent speaker with an engaging style, and her remarks were very well appreciated by UCI's students, faculty and community friends. I know that I speak for all those at UCI who were privileged to attend Heather's talk, when I extend our thanks and appreciation for her visit."

"Heather's talk was fantastic. Heather is able to do a number of quite remarkable things in a very short period of time. She comes across as very real, totally unpretentious, and deeply committed. She inspires people in a very direct and immediate way.

At one level people are aware that Heather is wholly unique and has packed several lifetimes of achievement into less than half a lifetime. But at the same time, listening to Heather these same people experience a very real sense of their own potential--I can make a difference. She is funny, quick and clearly very intelligent and focused. Because of this she comes across as trustworthy and reassuring.

When she says, this is possible, she is completely believable. I have given and attended hundreds of talks in my life--from nervous graduate students to accomplished leaders like Queen Noor and Bill Clinton. I have never seen anyone win a group over so quickly and so completely. I have never seen a crowd leave a room expressing such enthusiasm for making the world a better place. I felt honoured to be standing beside her."
