Lawrence Ragan Speechwriters Conference
"Another triumph. How you can reduce this group of long-experienced, overeducated, well-connected, ultra-sophisticated and in some cases cynical speechwriters to a bunch of awestruck, gasping school boys and girls—I will never know, even though I've watched it happen twice! Thanks for yet another great show."
—David Murray, Publisher, Speechwriters Newsletter, Chairman
Alain Pinel Realtors
"As you know the Saratoga Alain Pinel Realtors are highly successful. Many make a million dollars a year. This means although they enjoy good speakers and trainers they are often very difficult to impress. Based on your reputation I expected your message would be the perfect way to start the year. However, you really exceeded my expectations!
Your message was uplifting and entertaining, yet very practical. As you gave specific words and phrases that the agents can use in their sales presentations it was obviously you were not giving Speech 101. Many of the agents said you were the best speaker they had ever listened to. The best compliment I can pay you is the recommendation that you be part of this years training for all our offices. This has resulted in three more programs in this quarter!"
—Carol Burnett, Vice President & Managing Broker
Morgan Stanley
"Thank you for your fine program on sales presentation skills. We are already putting your ideas to work."
—Thomas Moore

Focus Network Chicago
"Patricia perfectly portrays poise, pitch, pace, passion, power and punch with punctuation, playfulness pizzazz, precision and preciseness. Her popular presentations pop with panache, positivism and potential! Presidents, professionals, paupers, pals and paparazzi all prefer prodigious portions of this praiseworthy paramount 'Princess of Pronunciation.' With parable, paradox, prose and parlance Patricia will pep you up, position you for greatness and, with no prattle or palaver prompt you to prevail!!"
—Gordon Matthews, President
Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc.
