Katrina and her team make my life SO much easier and I always feel like they have our best interest at heart.

Recently, as we were gearing up to head to a conference in Phoenix, our Keynote Speaker unfortunately had to cancel giving us only 1 business day to react. I have known Katrina Mitchell for some time and of course, she was the first person I called to help. Within a few short hours, Katrina had lined up 3 strong candidates. By the end of the day, the Board of the association had decided on one, and he was on a plane bound for Phoenix. He took the time to come in early, study up with board members and deliver an outstanding speech. I am so grateful to have SPEAK! on speed dial, and I am even more grateful to Katrina and Debbie for their assistance and guidance!

We have now had Connie speak 4 times to different audiences and every single time she has been outstanding. Takes the time to understand the messaging and audience and is first class. Highly recommend her!!

Connie was our Key Note Speaker at the 1st Annual Sunrise Senior Living Sales Rally. She took concepts from her books, Talk Less Say More and Become the Real Deal to tailor a presentation for our sales force. She had the "late in the day" time slot with 400 restless sales professionals and was easily able to keep them engaged! Just amazing!
-
