"Kathy was a speaker at our ladies luncheon. The attendees were business owners and executives. We had amazing feedback from attendees and numerous requests for her to come back. She had our group laughing while delivering valuable information about our Visual Business Cards."

"We heard such great things about Kathy giving a talk at our company's luncheon in Indianapolis, we invited her to our event. She delivered a keynote to a group of about 100 local business women, and Kathy was a huge hit! We are still talking about our 16-points and keeping each other accountable to our Visual Business Card!"
