"Here is someone who knows what she’s talking about (an expert) and also has energy, class, and style! Your entire presentation was amazingly insightful and most enjoyable. You are indeed that rare speaker who immediately establishes credibility with the audience and delivers with such impact that I believe you are changing mindsets and behaviors in a very positive way--I know I went away from this convention and immediately implemented your ideas and advice on leadership."
    -- Kevin McNulty, CEO, Humadyn, Inc.
