“I would like to thank you for the wonderful keynote speech you gave at our recent Client Conference & User Group Meeting. It is a challenge for us to find a keynote speaker who can appeal to the broad professional roles of our group. Your presentation, “The Flexibility Factor,” was both entertaining and informative. I believe that everyone left the general session equipped with knowledge applicable to the work place and some fun “anecdotes” to remember when faced with difficult people. Thank you for your professionalism and sense of humor. We will certainly keep you in mind for future venues.”

“Marsha was absolutely outstanding. My only regret is not giving her some more time on our agenda. Her messages were exactly on topic for what we agreed to target. Her examples were both very practical and she had great elements of fun & humor at the same time. Feedback from attendees was incredibly high and we ended up incorporating some of her messages into other presentations later in the agenda.
