Paul and Martha Sharkey are among the most compelling speakers I’ve experienced. Their vulnerability, authenticity, and connection on stage bring their personal story to life in a way that is both heartbreaking and deeply hopeful — not just for the families they serve, but for the thousands of lives their work will continue to impact. Audiences don’t just hear their story; they leave inspired, transformed, and compelled to act with empathy and purpose.

Today Is A Good Day creates one of the most heartfelt and unforgettable social responsibility experiences I’ve ever been part of. Martha is a truly gifted presenter—she shares her family’s NICU journey with such honesty, grace, and courage that you can feel the room shift. Her story touches people in a deeply human way. The bonding square activity that follows becomes so much more than a craft; it becomes a meaningful act of love and support for families who need it most. Every time, participants walk away moved, inspired, and grateful to have contributed. Many immediately want to bring the experience to others. This nonprofit leaves a lasting imprint on every heart in the room.

Incredible. Powerful, emotional, motivational, there aren’t enough words I can say to describe how much I loved this presentation! The Sharkey’s are incredibly dynamic speakers and to be able to share their story with the vulnerability they do, is what allows them to connect with every single person in the audience. I have no doubt every single one of us, in the room of hundreds, felt a personal connection, like we were sitting having coffee with them. Truly incredible & such an inspirational NICU journey as well!
