April 3, 2017Even though we booked Kyla at the last minute she still came through super prepared and showed us why she's an expert on social media. Relatable, knowledgeable and gave us exactly what we asked for! Spoke about the importance of self love and the dangers of social media in today's society.

February 17, 2017Kyla did an awesome job motivating our girls during the conference to think beyond the norm, and create a brand on social media. She broke down how to protect yourself on social media, how to use social media to build awareness and share a story. I love how she left the girls with material to help them continue to grow their message after they left the conference. I will definitely be asking Kyla to come back next year!

Speeches about women's health, attendee leave with resources about analyze their pain, finding the right doctor, and a forum to go back to discuss the topic beyond the presentation.
Speeches about social media development is also resourced packed, giving attendees case studies, check list, and tools to master their online branding.
