“Colette was truly a joy to work with. She delivered the closing keynote at our annual leadership conference, speaking to our 500+ leaders. I don’t think we’ve ever had a speaker do as much preparation as she did and it really showed. Colette was exactly what we were looking for and she exceeded our expectations!! Beyond that, she was pleasant to work with and delivered on all of her promises.”
