As a result, she nailed it, gained immediate credibility and connected with everyone! Colette was knowledgeable, relatable and down to earth… what more could you ask for.”

“Colette’s enthusiasm, humor and very practical advice were a huge hit with our group of women General Counsel and senior level in-house counsel. Colette fully committed to our program – spending time with our attendees and other speakers to gain a deep understanding of our challenges and goals. She made sincere personal connections — as a result, her session fit perfectly within our program, and our attendees left energized and better prepared to address the obstacles that impede their success and the success of the organizations they serve.”

“YOU SCORED A PERFECT 4.0 in every category! This is the first time in my 15 years of planning the conference that this has happened! Clearly, saying our audience loved you is an understatement. I only wish we had more women in this industry for your message to impact. We’re working on that… Thank you for being such a joy to work with.”

“Your presentation exceeded our expectations as a keynote speaker. The attendees and NASN staff are impressed that you tailored your presentation to school nurses, including your school nursing visuals — the slide of IEP blocks and the props used in the busy nurse skit on stage. Conference participants including school nurses in the health office and school nurse administrators commented to me that you truly understood them and the challenges they face. Your presentation was a fitting conclusion to our conference as you empowered the audience and provided them with insight on how to take action when they return home.”

“Survey after survey not only rated your presentation very high, or highest rated, but also rated your presentation as one of the ‘favorite memories’ or ‘best take away’ from the entire convention.”

“Thank you for being one of the best keynote speakers AADOM has ever had. Our 675 dental office managers and practice leaders LOVED you!”
