| What
audience members have said after listening to
Debra Benton present a keynote or seminar. |
|||||||||||
| “Your keynote presentation was the hit of our General Session. You may have already determined this from the three minute standing ovation you received. The session you facilitated at the breakout was phenomenal – Standing Room Only! We found every extra chair available at the hotel and there were people still standing in the back for an hour and thirty minutes... Every thing we say or do now is being measured by our agents and our Regional Staff in terms of ‘That’s what Debra taught us’.” | |||||||||||

| “We have compiled the evaluation forms and our Board members are very pleased with the results. The average rating of the conference was 4.00 out of 5.00 but your presentation was rated 4.95. Participants simply loved you.” | |||||||||||

| “I get to thank you for the workshop that you gave to us here in Madrid. I have already started to practice some of the things that you taught us and they have been most effective…I like the look on people when they are trying to figure out whether I am happy, angry, or worse, and all they see is Cheez Whiz. It works great!!!” | |||||||||||

Boyle, Ministry Health Care |

| “I
have recounted your presentation often, not
only for its content, but because of the way
you were able to win over your audience by preparing
prior to your presentation. You established
a connection with people who I believed would
be most resistant. The substance of your presentation was by far the most enlightening discussion on leadership I have ever heard. While most speakers talk about how we become leaders in corporate America, rarely do they discuss the more pragmatic and poignant topic of what we must do on a daily basis to become and remain leaders. You are engaging, humorous, poignant, practical, amiable, sincere, credible, and intelligent. Rarely do I find a presenter who possesses these qualities. As a trainer I have worked with many, but no one was able to exemplify these qualities as successfully as you.” |

Debra provides basic “helpful hints” and reminders that should be a part of all of our interactions as humans, but are especially important in our roles as representatives for our companies to the investment community, as messengers of external news (not always pleasant) to our senior managements, as strategic components of communications activities between our companies and all constituencies. |
