“The guests enjoyed the speech thoroughly”
The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, she received a standing ovation at the end.
Kate was excellent in tailoring her speech to fit in with our dinner and the audience. Kate also took part in a Q & A which she doesn't normally do and also fitted in with our timings/schedule perfectly.
Feedback has been great. Kate's speech had enough of the interesting/serious parts balanced with the funny elements to keep the audience interested and entertained throughout.
Kate was fantastic at our conference dinner. Not only did she give a great speech but she was also kind enough to stay on for dinner and then mingled with our guests, giving many of them the
opportunity to have their photo taken with one of their heroes!
Great speaker. Very professional, knowledgable and commanded the audiences attention throughout. Very amenable in terms of photogrpahs and meeting the audience.
