We so enjoyed the time spent with you speaking about your book and how you came to write it. Being prepared and peaceful at the time of death and organized beforehand is a dream some of us have. Thanks for your help with that ~ an amusing and engaging book talk. Everyone in the room was held in rapt attention.
You will be a fun person to be with in the afterlife!

We really enjoyed Michelle's informative presentation delivered with lovely sense of humour. She gave us all many things to think about as she explained how to get our sh*t together for the benefit of ourselves and our families/loved ones.

Michelle's talk was informative, fun, and relatable! Her experience shines throughout her presentation and helped our group to make note of what was important when planning our wills, and the future of our care as we age. She took this sensitive topic and made it easy to ask questions without feeling scared or uncomfortable. Her passion for organization has created a streamlined, step-by-step guide that almost our entire group purchased after her presentation. We highly recommend Michelle and would love to have her visit our library again.

We were so pleased to welcome Michelle Unsworth-Foote to Elgin Lodge for her How to Get Your Sh*t Together presentation. Michelle brought a warm, approachable style to a topic that can often feel overwhelming, making it both engaging and incredibly practical for our audience.
What truly stood out was her willingness to collaborate—she was very open to incorporating additional presenters and did an excellent job weaving everyone’s expertise into a cohesive, well-organized session. The result was a thoughtful, informative event that provided real value to attendees.

Michelle Unsworth-Foote uses her experience in the financial industry for the forces of good!
Michelle has seen too many families struggle with poorly made plans, and so her presentation is focused on guiding attendees through some common pitfalls associated with estate and end-of-life planning. We were so glad to have her bring a mix of good humour, relatable anecdotes, and valuable information to help attendees avoid future distress.

Michelle’s presentation of How to Get Your Sh*t Together at the Essa Public Library struck the perfect balance between humor and genuine respect for a difficult topic. She weaves in personal stories alongside decades of professional experience in finance, making it easier to start meaningful conversations with loved ones before it’s too late. Her approach helps ensure families are prepared and supported during times that are often stressful, emotional, and overwhelming. I highly recommend both her book and her presentation.

Thank you to the library for hosting the author’s visit on this very important topic. Michelle’s experience and wisdom is invaluable in encouraging people to get prepared. Her talk was polished and her ability to incorporate questions and discussions allowed for great audience engagement. She is able to make what can be a dry topic very entertaining and so relevant.

Michelle's presentation, "How to Get Our Sht Together,"* was an absolute hit with our residents at Vistamere!
From the moment she started, Michelle had everyone engaged, laughing, and nodding along in agreement. She has a remarkable gift for tackling topics that can sometimes feel overwhelming and turning them into practical, relatable, and even entertaining conversations. Her blend of humour, honesty, and real-world advice made the session both memorable and empowering.
Our residents appreciated Michelle's down-to-earth approach and her ability to make planning ahead feel less intimidating and more achievable. There were plenty of laughs throughout the presentation, but also many valuable takeaways that sparked meaningful discussions long after the session ended.
Michelle creates a welcoming environment where people feel comfortable asking questions, sharing experiences, and learning from one another. She has a unique way of helping people feel more confident and prepared for whatever life may bring.
We highly recommend Michelle to any organization looking for an engaging, informative, and genuinely enjoyable speaker. She helped us get our sh*t together—and we had a lot of fun doing it!
