"I had the pleasure of meeting Bailey O’Brien through Jon Gordon’s weekly newsletter. Having read his glowing and inspirational story of Bailey, I decided to call her and invite her to our Annual EXIT Mid-Atlantic Agent Retreat Day. The theme for our event was “Inspirational” and Bailey WOWWED the audience with her touching and courageous story! It’s not often that you can meet a complete stranger and, after only 15 minutes of talking to her, you feel that you have created a special bond that will last for years to come. I can’t tell you how many people came up to me after the event and raved about Bailey, or how many gathered around Bailey to learn more. She truly is a dynamite speaker that has a story to tell that touches the heartstrings of every person in the audience. Our mission at EXIT Mid-Atlantic is to help create awareness within our organization and other organizations that are looking to book an inspirational speaker. Bailey O’Brien is certainly the type of person that will motivate and inspire people to appreciate everyday living with kindness and gratitude."
- Carol A. McDaniel, Regional Owner EXIT Mid-Atlantic
