“During my company’s Be Bold hybrid event, I was one of the online participants that watched Cassandra as the Keynote Speaker. I thoroughly enjoyed her message and the presentation, so much so that I wish it had been longer! Her delivery was so inspirational, motivating and captivating, but all the while maintaining the ability to be relatable to everyone at all levels. I am definitely looking forward to reading her book!” –Sherri King, Manager of Administration, TransForce Global

Michelle Poler
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Michelle Poler’s opening keynote at our Emergency Nursing 2022 Annual Conference! From the beginning of the process to the end, Michelle’s team was responsive and organized. Her energy during our 8 AM general session was palpable in the room of our 3,000 nurses. The opportunity for our nurses to purchase her book afterwards and meet her, to also share their vulnerable stories with her of fears and stories, was much appreciated. I would recommend Michelle in the future to any other healthcare associations who are looking to bring joy and excitement to their opening general session!” –Emergency Nurses Association
Nataly Kogan
“I am a Cigna employee and recently joined your webinar. My team and I joined together because just by the title, I knew each of my team members could benefit – and boy, we were right! we found all of the context and topics so relevant. My team and I support leaders as they coach, develop, and remove barriers for their employees. not only was it a benefit for my direct reports but for the leaders we help each day. One of our favorite topics and points you made was ‘servant leadership is not martyr leadership” – so powerful!
Another item we really liked was “Multitasking is ‘switch tasking’ – we lose 25% of quality each time we switch task.” This spoke to me, and I fell victim of ‘switch tasking’ last week. I was getting prepared for taking a few days off and I was getting some emails sent and my out of office set up. The morning of last day before PTO, I realized my team and others were getting my out of office message early! Not only did I put the wrong date for the out of office, but there were also three typos. the funny part was I set up the out of office while I was on a call trying to ‘switch task’ it goes to show how one cannot do two things at one time…especially me! 🙂
I wanted to share my story and send you a big thank you for spending time with the Cigna family and the impact you made.” –Cigna

Carey Lohrenz
“Carey was the perfect speaker to close out our event! Our attendees were engaged and energized by her passion and ability to transfer her past experiences to any setting, be it professional or personal. She was able to perfectly intertwine the message of her session, ‘Remaining Relevant,’ with our organization’s competency framework, which is at the core of our work with healthcare quality and patient safety professionals. While her session was playing, the live chat was very, very active and attendees were already saying how excited they were to share her insights with their staff/teams. We knew we were going to get a great session from Carey, but it definitely exceeded our expectations!”— National Association for Healthcare Quality

Having Sally come in and speak to the different archetypes helped bring clarity and a deeper understanding to our team on what makes us fascinating. The test was extremely accurate and Sally set up a clear roadmap on how to apply this information in both a personal and professional setting while providing our team with tangible practices we can walk away with. She was an inspiration!”
–UnitedHealthcare
Susan Cain
“It meant so much to our students for Susan Cain to participate in MKA’s Student Life Leadership Retreat. Her presence and her message made it clear that it was time for our community to rethink traditional definitions of leadership and to consider how all of our students are on a personal leadership journey.” –Kerry Verrone, Upper School Dean of Student Life, Montclair Kimberley Academy
Michelle Gielan
“Michelle was a great addition to our program. She shared smart data in an accessible way and really engaged our leaders. She gave them things to consider and actions to take to adopt a positive mindset that will help with their businesses (and in their lives).” –Brian Pilling, Sales Director, Stampin’ Up!
Carey Lohrenz
“Carey was a huge hit at our conference of nearly 3,000 bank and credit union attendees. Her message around strategic partnership and delivery was well received by all. We had numerous comments after her keynote expressing how great she was and that it was nice seeing strong female representation at the conference. Carey does a phenomenal job of bringing the audience into her world – then showing how it can easily relate to them and their business. We had a lot of in-person feedback and via social media … one of which was a female client that mentioned her keynote being excellent and related to being a Navy brat herself – Carey actually responded to her social post and kept the conversation going and I think that meant a lot to the person. It’s so apparent Carey loves what she does and was ready to engage with the attendees even after the event. She is a rock star and would be a great addition to any event you may consider having!”
–Justin Ross, Senior Corporate Project Manager, Jack Henry

“Amy is an amazing blend of scientific knowledge with an engaging demeanor. Amy spoke at two leadership development workshops for us in June of 2022 and she was phenomenal. She was kind, incredibly personable, flexible, and most importantly, our participants loved her. She exceeded our expectations and was rated VERY high! Not only did she incorporate our topics into her presentation with ease, but she also demonstrated that she has a strong grasp of the healthcare industry. She was able to customize her presentation to our needs after a single conversation with us. Amy is an amazing blend of scientific knowledge with an engaging demeanor, and we loved her practical tips at the end. Participants weren’t just listening to a lecture, they had simple, practical action steps to follow through on.” – Aubrea VanderMolen, Talent Development Analyst, Banner Health

Michael C. Bush
“When we recorded Michael, I literally shouted ‘yes!’ Not once, but two times after a few things he said. They had to edit me out. I was so moved. He was powerful, moving, not to mention extremely well-prepared, passionate, and authentic. He made our CEO blush and was so proud. What an incredible human being.”– Jennifer Robertson, Senior Event Marketing Manager, Remote Technology Services
