Dear Ellen:

 

Thank you for graciously agreeing to participate in the American Payroll Association National Payroll Week celebration.  Your speech on “Leadership: The Human Side of Presenting a Powerful, Persuasive Presentation” was very educational, entertaining and informative. Each participant left our celebration that night with new words of wisdom. 

 

After a long week at work, you got serious CPA’s to belly laugh. You really brought the group to life. You empowered us to own whatever our individual beliefs are and speak up about ourselves. Your advance planning made you easy to work with. You were professional from start to finish.

 

I hope that you will agree to be a part of the National Payroll Week in future years.  I believe that any group or organization that is considering you for a speaking engagement will be more than pleased. 

 

Thank you again.

 

Sincerely,

Small Business Bootcamp

January 21, 2006

300 Attendees

 

Women Entrepreneurs Small Business Boot Camp - Phoenix Arizona“I have always avoided opportunities to appear on TV as an ‘expert’ in the field of resume writing and job search because I had no idea how to present myself for the camera. Your discussion of on-air preparation and presence bolstered my confidence considerably. I may just say ‘yes’ next time and reap the marketing

g benefits.” CareerPro Resume Center

 

 “What a great job at the Bootcamp – lots of positive energy and good advice – and what a nice surprise to walk in just after you were starting and be pulled up front as a guinea pig! I guess it was meant to be that I met you at your book signing, because otherwise you would have been just one among all the speakers instead of one I know personally.” –Send Out Cards

 

 “I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I enjoyed your Bootcamp session. I appreciated the important pointers on how we can all improve our presentation style and techniques, but most importantly, I enjoyed the way you delivered your message. The session was fun, fast paced and exciting. It was very easy to envision how one could implement your suggestions.” –Tahitian Noni

 

“Thank you so much for the help you gave me at the Women Entrepreneur’s Small Business Bootcamp. It’s hard to believe that a Motivational Speaker is shy, but I am. The thought of networking was one of my biggest challenges. You are so awesome. I loved everything you said in your class. I was so motivated by you and soaked everything you said like a sponge. You are definitely one of my heroes!” Wanda Burke, Motivational Speaker

 

“It was fun to participate in your session. This was my first Women’s Boot Camp but it won’t be the last. I consider myself an experienced network but what to move to the net level. All that you have shared will really help me do so!. Thank you!” Paula A. Glasser

 “Thank you so much for coming to speak at our EMA – East Valley Chapter!

 

You have been the best speaker to date!!! Fun, informative and beautiful what a gifted lady you are! I admire what you were able to do in a short period of time this evening and feel blessed to have watched you at work tonight.” Laura Harris

 

 

“I saw you Monday evening at EMA. I just wanted to tell you that I thought your presentation was inspiring, live-giving, fun, humorous and very interesting!! To be honest with you, I have a very short attention span and I get bored very easily, but, I could not believe how fast the time went by. I could have listened to you for much longer, and I’m not a “night” person either. That is how much I enjoyed your presentation. If you do something with EMA as a group, then I would love to be a part of it. I am also interested in maybe having a one on one with you.” Judy Coventry

 

“I had the privilege of hearing you speak last night and then meeting you afterwards. I had the time of my life. You are so much fun! You really engaged the audience by regurgitating what each person said during the evening and improving upon it. What incredible listening skills you have!” Natalie Kauffman

 

“I loved your presentation at EMA. I plan to sign-up for some coaching sessions soon.” Barbara Deppisch

 

“Rave reviews today.  Everyone said you were the best speaker we have had.  So thank you for coming!” Candy Malburg

 

“Hilarious and motivational! Love you!”

Ellen captivated the group with her high energy and command of her subject matter.

Ellen gave a very energizing and exciting presentation. She gave me encouragement to go back to my office and have all my sales staff read her book. I believe that utilizing her suggestions and her comments should increase our sales tremendously.”
