“…What a tremendous job you did firing up the students and challenging them to be their best by making the most of their educational experience at STCC!  Your presentation provided a powerful learning experience, one I am sure the students will never forget.  Your passion for entrepreneurship education is contagious, your compassion for students is endearing, and your genuine willingness to share your time and expertise is wonderfully generous.  It is incredibly meaningful when STCC alumni come back to the College and fully engage themselves in an interactive learning process with students in the classroom.”
                                                         
Thomas A. Goodrow
Director, STCC Entrepreneurial Institute

 

“…Thank you so much for presenting on “Competitive Edge and Professional Image” at the Career Development Summit.  I know the information you shared with the students about self-confidence, perseverance, motivation, and energy will be very useful to them.  Your emphasis on self-motivation was very important for the students to hear.  Guest speakers like yourself, help to assist those of us at the college who try to educate the students on the importance of being prepared for the world of work.”

Sally Schirmer-Smith
Director of Career Services, Bay Path College

 

“…Thank you for speaking to our SCORE chapter to provide us with your insights into key success factors for entrepreneurs and how best to meet their needs with counseling and mentoring.  The presentation was right on target and was a resounding success.  Your enthusiasm was contagious and the preparation for the talk was most evident.  Your message was exceptionally well received.  We all enjoyed the session and walked away better prepared for our counseling work.  Several of our members commented that this talk was the best they had heard in our monthly training sessions.”

Tom Toman
Chair, Western Mass SCORE Chapter 228

 

“…Thank you for taking the time to come to our staff meeting and talking to our crew!  I really believe that you made a difference in their attitudes and thought-processes.  You have a natural drive and talent that most people try to create.  You are very blessed and I wish you nothing but success as you continue your journey.”

“…We would like you to know how much we enjoyed our visit to your salon.  You inspired us to look further into ourselves as well as our futures.  We have concluded that 15-minutes a day with you would motivate us to excel in every aspect of our lives.  You have taught us that with hard work and excellent communication skills we can overcome any obstacles that may come upon us.  We will take with us the experience that you shared and truly benefit from it.  You touched our lives in a way we cannot explain.  Thank you for sharing your personal experiences, and allowing us to realize that we have control of our future.”

R. Vdovjak & L. Dillon
Students, Holyoke Community College

 

“…Your seminar couldn’t have come at a better time!  I am opening my own salon…and all that you said [during the seminar] were things I had already talked to my new employees about.  The one employee I was with couldn’t believe that all the things I told him were being reinforced at your seminar.  I have listened to your CD’s and they are just what I need to hear.  Thank you and God bless you for your continued efforts in helping new business owners, as well as seasoned and new stylists in this wonderful profession of cosmetology.”

L. DeGisi-Reynolds
