I wouldn't change a thing!" "The workshop was awesome! It really opened my mind to things I was naive about, and you made it FUN!” "I have attended several Gen Y information sessions, and Amy's was great. Entertaining and informative. I've made use of her handouts and ideas in my classes which are more and more populated with Ys." "Working with Amy is a joy. She is a real pro who makes everything seamless. She is organized, innovative and received great audience feedback.” "The attendees loved your message. I heard Gen-Y discussions throughout the entire conference." "Amy sheds light on the generation we know least about. She fills in the missing pieces of the generational puzzle.” "Your presentation helped me crystalize how to approach critical conversations with people on our staff, addressing behaviors while nurturing the relationships as we figure out how to work together to meet our goals." "I can’t believe how much I learned from your presentation. I put it to use the very next day.” "We were delighted with how you customized your presentation to our Coordinators. You changed the way people in the audience thought about Gen Y, and gave them ideas for marketing to and engaging the 20-somethings in their programs." "Your keynote presentation was a hit with our audience." "Thanks to you, I’m now able to relax, take a break and put a decision on hold. That’s consistent with my negotiation Strength (Depth), and makes the process much less stressful for me.” "I reviewed my life as you talked and determined to approach critical conversations differently.” "Several times last week I used what I had learned in your seminar. During one negotiation, I stated my price and then used silence. It worked! In another incident, a client was angry with me over a deadline. I gave her the facts and went into action to solve her problem. The next day we came to an agreement about handling problems in the future. Your ideas are powerful, both professionally and personally." "Opening 20 shows a year requires complicated and sensitive negotiations. There are days when I've seen no solution in sight. Your ideas help me navigate choppy waters. It’s such a relief to have these new tools.” "Presenters never get all 5's -- especially on a tough topic like negotiation. But you did! They loved you. I look forward to working with you more." “Thank you for bringing us this incredible program. We'll have you back. We were yearning for more." "This is a difficult topic, yet you really connected. You’ve changed my idea of what a speaker can do to make a difference!" "Amy is a lively, informative guide to communicating when it matters most.” |
