TESTIMONIALS
For full referrals and recommendations, you can check out my LinkedIn page, but here are a handful of excerpts:
“The attendee group was a mix of seasoned insights, CX and analytics practitioners that [came] from a variety of industries and ranged from startups to larger Fortune 500 companies. It’s not the easiest crowd to speak to and connect with such diversity in industry and company size, but she was able to bring great energy to the room, [and] lead a really valuable discussion. Attendees’ post-session comments praised her insights, her delivery, and eagerness to apply her lesson’s learned to their own setting. She was a pleasure to work with and I was extremely honored to have her expertise and experience on hand.” - Organizational Intelligence and Analytics Forum
”Trish spoke at CMX Summit and was one of our highest rated speakers. She brings an incredible and relatable energy to the stage. Her talk was a balance of storytelling and specific tactics that attendees could put into action immediately following the event. She's a natural presenter with a lot of professional experience building communities. I'd highly recommend her for any conference.” - CMX Summit
“Trish was a recent guest speaker in my Northeastern University graduate-level social media class — and boy am I happy I asked her to join us! Her energy level is off the chart, as is her obvious passion for connecting and being a connector.” - Northeastern University course: Social Media and Brand Strategy Implementation
“When organizing an event with speakers you look for those with energy, message, and a great delivery. You don't expect superpowers, pie humor, and a message that sculpts the direction of a weekend event and beyond. Trish's message and philosophy are now a part of us all and we have attendees that still talk about her a year later. She brings her A-game and then some.” - Entrepreneur Escapes
"The first time I saw Trish speak on a panel, I had to chat with her afterward to tell her what a thoughtful speaker she was. She was so friendly and approachable and couldn’t help but drop tidbits of amazing life advice in our short conversation. I invited her to speak about her career path at a meeting for an Emerging Women’s group in which she related all of her experiences to the career paths of each woman in the group. We all left the experience wanting Trish to be our career mentor, life coach and friend!” - Emerging Women’s group
“Trish has set a very high bar for all other moderators! She is a pro though and through, fully researching the subject and leading the conversation with knowledge, ease and a sense of humor. I have been particularly impressed with the discussions she has led where there as no prior knowledge of the subject. Through her thoughtful questions and ability to engage every panelist in the conversation, you would never know that Trish was not an expert in the field!” - Film Consultant for BAAFF
