“What
impresses me the most about Karen are her creativity and adaptability.
She looks for unique, non-traditional ways to convey ideas...through
her interactive processes.... Her understanding of the role of
a leader as a developer of people is integral....Her techniques
have encouraged me and others to delegate and share my knowledge
and skills....Her sense of humor and openness ensure that all
questions are thoroughly answered.“ |

“Karen
is not only high energy... but also truly authentic. She presents
her life stories and experiences and keeps the audience wanting
to listen.... Our people learned a sense of ownership about their
own path and future and they realized they can improve. Karen’s
content is highly practical; she overcame any objections engineers
might have had and engaged them directly. I definitely recommend
her.“ |

"Karen
is a dynamic and engaging speaker. She connects very well with
the audience because she is authentic and down to earth. She’s
very perceptive and is able to read people quite accurately.
Whether she’s working with leaders, managers or front line
employees, her insights, content and wisdom are equally effective.
She did a great deal of advance research for us and was thoroughly
prepared and knowledgeable of her subject. What is most important
about Karen is her ability to deliver tangible tools that employees
can put into action immediately.“ |

the class, the participants stopped in my office to say what
a marvelous seminar they attended. Your personality and presentation
skills inspired the class. Everyone cannot wait to begin using

Your
positive modeling, experiential learning practices, and stimulating
interaction were tremendous. You gave us a variety of training
tools and techniques, which our Consultants are discussing
and already beginning to incorporate into their programs.
The presentation had an immediate and powerful impact.

The
feedback from the group was completely positive. Our members
told me they really appreciated not only your style and energy,
but the very useful material you taught as well. By actually
using your interactive speaking techniques, we learned new
skills, and learned them in a memorable and entertaining
way.

The
Telephone Skills training was an excellent tool for the employees.
I can hear the improvement in their voices, as well as attitudes.
Maximizing Customer Satisfaction was great class to remind

of complement every day! Thank you for your insight and professionalism.

Based
upon the feedback we received from those who were in attendance
that night, they found your presentation "Developing
and Maintaining A Successful Client/Consultant Relationship" to
be timely and extremely well-done. We also appreciate your
willingness to structure the group activity at the end of
the evening. The event was very successful and this in large
part was due to your involvement.

Your session on "Effective Team Building for Community

which you involved your audience from the very beginning of
your breakout session.

The
sessions were interactive and informative. The methods used
to get key points across were practical and could be related
to everyday situations. Since the training, I have noticed
a number of improvements in our staff, including improvement
with telephone greetings.
