I just wanted to let you know that Steph McGovern was fantastic as our co-host at the CIA Awards last Thursday. She was extremely down-to-earth and charming and had a brilliant rapport with the guests. Even when the noise levels were creeping up a little, she managed to quieten them down with subtlety and humour. She even took time to personally go around the tables to congratulate the winners afterwards. She was by far, one of the best presenters we have had at the awards.

Just wanted to let you know how well last night went. Our guests absolutely loved Steph. She was so lovely and down to earth, very funny and interesting to listen to. I am also really grateful she took the time to speak to our guests before and after her presentation. It was a great launch and really set the bar for the events for our Inspiring Women project during the next year. Hopefully we will be able to have Steph back when the project is coming to a close which will nicely round up things.

(Speaking after dinner)...Yes Monday night was a big success and Steph did a fantastic job, the client was really pleased. She was fresh, energetic and upbeat and it was especially nice that she joined guests for a drink in the welcome reception and also sat with them for dinner."Steph was excellent and met the client's objectives."
Nuclear Institute
Steph was absolutely perfect for our event. Her manufacturing background meant she was able to connect to the audience and her easy going manner and fun personality really shone through. Her anecdotes and adlibs were very entertaining and she got the balance between keeping the awards event formal yet light hearted at the same time just right.
Findlay Media (Best Factory Awards)
She took the brief well and was a warm, personable host for our event and an excellent conference facilitator. Great interaction and her style endeared her to our audience of MD's and CEO's. She added value to the event from her business and professional knowledge and experience.

Steph was absolutely excellent, and just delightful!

Steph of course delivered a professional job as host but she did more than was expected. She was mixing and mingling at the pre-Awards and during dinner went round to tables (of which there were 56) to talk to guests and finalists. She posed for ‘selfies’ and only left when everyone who wanted to speak to her had been able to do so.As far as her actual performance was concerned, as one guest said. ‘Steph McGovern was amazing’. Indeed she was; she kept things flowing beautifully, got the audience cheering and whooping but also got their silence when necessary. She worked from autocue but gave it light, shade and passion. Here’s to the next time!

Steph had been highly recommended to us by a number of people and I fully understand their enthusiasm. Her style was warm and friendly and the collective hugs certainly got us off to a great start. I received many positive comments during the evening and this has continued over the weekend from entrants and sponsors alike. The evening was a great success, which is in no small measure thanks to Steph's significant contribution.

She was very positive. She did everything that was required, talked to the judges, students and members of the team. Featured in photographs, had a go at welding, was involved in the judging process and gave a speech. The audience enjoyed talking to Steph and very much enjoyed listening to her speech at the end of the event.
