March 21, 2024Collen was great! She was very responsive to emails throughout the planning stages of the event, and she got all needed information to me on time. On the day of the event, she was early and was ready to speak at her time. After I quickly glanced over the evaluations, I see that attendees mentioned only good things about her session. -- Overall, great!

October 28, 2019Colleen was very willing to help out our small organization to jump start and re energize the team. Their positions in the company have evolved and require hard sales tactics to meet goals. Colleen's life stories and high energy helped us to recharge the battery to get thru year end. Thank you Colleen!

May 4, 2018Colleen is very knowledgeable in our area of work and she offered suggestions of how we can maintain our professionalism. She kept the audience engaged and encouraged participation. She shared personal experiences and she added humor. Colleen provided a substantial amount of valuable information that Administrative Professionals can use in their daily work environment. One of the best aspects of the conference is that Colleen walked around the conference room and had a short conversation with the audience. She was very friendly and willing to share her knowledge and experience. I enjoyed the description of the acronym D.A.S.R- Describe the bothersome behavior, Acknowledge the affects of the bothersome behavior, Specify behavior wanted, Reaffirm person. Overall, I really enjoyed Colleen as the 2018 Administrative Professional Conference motivational speaker.
