Workshop/Training Testimonials

When your staff needs a kick start, Ronnie is the person to call. In the nonprofit world, change and uncertainty is around us all the time, and Ronnie had our group feeling unified and motivated after her workshop on building ‘A Confident Future.’ She spoke to all levels and left us with inspiring homework assignments that everyone took seriously! Most importantly, we all had fun. As she says, each person has gifts to brag about, and Ronnie certainly was a ‘gift’ well-received by our staff.
~ Sara Nichols, Director of Programs, Greater Bridgeport Adolescent Pregnancy Program

Ronnie's two content-rich workshops, "Improving Self-Confidence" and "Make Yourself Happy" offered simple techniques that could be implemented right away. Her energetic and humorous style captivated participants and got them involved. The feedback from attendees was "When can she come back and do another class?"
~ Sharon Cascio, Human Resources Manager, D. L. Ryan Companies, Wilton, CT

As the Training Director for The Kennedy Center, I understand the difficulties in coming up with creative topics and ways in which to capture and keep your audience's attention. Ronnie conducted a training she calls "Boldness Boot Camp" in which she spoke about the positive outcome of being bolder both personally and professionally. Ronnie kept the training very interactive and the feedback that I received from the staff was that they really enjoyed it.

I would definitely consider Ronnie again in the future as well as recommend her training/coaching skills.

I look at the half hour I spend with Ronnie each week as a gift I'm giving myself and my family. She's truly a gem.
