“Just a quick note to pass along my profound appreciation for your talk. My colleagues and I have been talking about what we heard and trying to incorporate your wisdom into our interactions with others. Your presentation style is incredibly engaging and your content fascinating, especially the way you connect data with real-life examples. I was sorry when your talk was over – I could have happily spent many more hours listening to you and watching the expressive way you connect with an audience of hundreds. Wonderful job – thank you!”

“Celeste was a hit! She kept the audience captivated and her remarks were spot on. I heard many positive comments and many referencing her materials – and the points she made – during the rest of the conference. We are extremely happy and I think attendee evaluations will reflect the group’s satisfaction (and enthusiasm) for Celeste!”

The dialogue began with an adroit sampling of fascinating science around business communication and quickly morphed into a quality conversation among some very energized and engaged executives. We enjoyed the enthusiastic feedback from our clients and doubtless strengthened our relationships with them through their interaction with Celeste. Engaging Celeste was not only a very worthwhile experience for our clients but a great investment for our business.”
