We hired Amy for our annual manufacturing conference to share her expertise on what employees want for driving employee engagement, retention and productivity and she was outstanding. Amy really took into consideration our audience and tailored her presentation and knowledge sharing to fit our group – she gave real examples, spoke in our industrial language and most importantly, gave our guests tools, solutions, and ideas to bring back to their workplace to talk about and implement. Many guests stated afterwards how much they enjoyed Amy’s session – her energy, and her ability to engage the audience, was second to none.
Working with Amy prior to the event – all the planning, meetings, reviews we did – Amy was there every step of the way. She made the time to really speak to the event organizer, to listen to our ideas and our needs and was up for anything – changes of times, locations of her session – whatever we needed, she accommodated. We’d work with her again no questions asked!
