Client Reviews
“The non-profit organization that I work with found Stacey in 2019 and had her lined up to speak in 2020. Then the world was hit with a whole set of crazy circumstances that directly impacted our conference. We had many speakers lined up, but Stacey truly set her self apart from the masses. She is a wonderful human who was able to adapt to all the changes thrown at her, keep her head above water, donate extra time and services, and still managed to present in our “virtual conference” with very limited notice.
She engaged with all attendees and found unique ways to make her session interactive so that every attendee walked away with useful information that they could immediately apply. Thank you for everything Stacey! You are a true gem!”
