Her energy and real-life anecdotes that come from nearly two decades of representing professional athletes and others from the world of sports kept us all totally enthralled. Her talk is entertaining and so much more as she shares her real-life experiences while at the same time deconstructing a recipe for success.

You had everyone captivated and laughing as you described how you have learned to “reframe” the way you think about yourself in the male-dominated sports industry and how you’ve used your more feminine qualities to your advantage instead of letting them hinder you. Please know you have made a lasting impact.”
    -Stella Low, VP Global Communications, EMC Corporation
