AmerUs Group
“It is rare that someone in a short period of time can have such a great impact on a group. You accomplished this feat extremely well. Demonstrating conversational skills and techniques that build rapport and relationships in both social and business situations is key to success. You gave all of us a learning gift in a meaningful, humorous, and creative way.”
US Department of Transportation
“Your workshop had immediate results – our Specialists walked out of the classroom with more confidence in their communication skills and a better understanding of how to strengthen customer relationships. You did a great job of tailoring the presentation to our specific needs. Your ability to address the communication objectives of our employees made believers out of a potentially skeptical group of people.”
Texas Statewide Telephone Cooperative, Inc.
“Thanks so much for your wonderful keynote presentation at the TSTCI Accountants/Bookkeepers meeting last week. It was a great way to start the day’s sessions. It really got everyone’s energies flowing for the rest of the meeting. It’s hard to believe you were ever an engineer!”
Dispatch Broadcast Group
“Your presentation, while delivered in a very humorous and light manner, provided us with very valuable guidelines and suggestions to enable our sellers to better communicate with their clients.
It was a pleasure to meet you and have you address our group.”
Holme Roberts & Owen LLP
“Your presentation at lunch on Saturday was interesting, helpful, and very well-received. Several partners commented to me how much they enjoyed your presentation, and how useful they felt it was to them personally.
Engaging an “after-lunch” group of attorneys is difficult enough on any given day, but accomplishing it in a setting like Beaver Creek on a Saturday is truly amazing! The fact that we lost no one during the presentation is testimony to your effectiveness.”
Women Presidents’ Organization
“I really appreciate and recognize your contribution and feel that you set a great tone for the entire conference. I am extremely grateful for your willingness to extend yourself and I hope you realize how truly wonderful you and your presentation were. The substance of your presentation was extremely helpful in beginning the networking process. You held the attention of two hundred very demanding women who rarely sit through a meeting without planning their escape, and who can hardly keep their mouths shut for a moment to listen. Indeed, they listened to you.”
American Marketing Association
“Our capacity crowd was the highest at an AMA program in two years!
Many people I spoke with following the program complimented the humorous and realistic way in which you approached the topic of conversational skills – a very relevant topic with holiday networking functions upon us. The way in which you interacted with and involved the audience was fantastic, and it brought home the point of personal connection and name recognition that you made in your presentation.”
