Katie not only exceeded expectations, but completely knocked it out of the park… so much so, that our client later secured her three additional times for this same conference. Katie is always well prepared, attentive to our clients’ wishes, energetic on stage, relatable and friendly with audiences, ready to adapt to changes on the fly, and looking for ways to bring greater value to the people she serves.
