Fantastic Presentation…
“It' been almost a week since your
presentation and the team is still buzzing. Your presentation was
fantastic. We've received great feedback from all levels of Management,
our Account Executives and support staff that was in attendance. I was
very pleased to see the long line at your book signing and the multiple
questions that came with it. We were also extremely pleased with the way
you seamlessly incorporated our objectives and theme into your
presentation. It was like you were working with us for weeks.
I've been in the business world almost 30 years and never
quite knew the proper protocol on how, when or how long to shake a woman's
hand. I now can confidently do this.”

Fresh, Motivating
and Funny…highly recommend Patti...
“…one month later I am still
getting comments from satisfied members who attended her body language
symposium. She was fresh, motivating, and funny. She has a knack for making her point in a way
you won’t forget. Her simple tools to enhance the first impression you
give are invaluable. I walked into a member office the other day and
laughed as two of the attendees to Patti’s class were standing there talking
about one of Patti’s techniques!” “We enjoyed all of our
speakers, but few stay with you like Patti does! We highly recommend
using Patti Wood as your next speaker.”

An
Ultimate Professional
“I am writing to say that I have had the privilege
of working with Patti Wood on two separate occasions for our
GFOA-PA Annual Conferences. I have never before seen an audience on their
feet within 5 minutes after the speaker took the microphone!
Patti has an amazing knack for involving every
single attendee. And they have such a great time! She has people
who have never met before sharing information, learning about and from
each other.
The first time I worked with Patti, she was
virtually an unknown to our group. Within 30 minutes after Patti
ended her presentation, I was told by the committee that we had to have her
return again the next year. When Patti is on the Agenda, I know that my
attendance is going to increase.
Patti is the ultimate professional who takes time
to learn about her audience and their professional needs so that she can
customize her remarks to assure that the audience can relate.
I am happy to entertain any questions and will
happily offer personal recommendations to anyone who may be considering working
with Patti Wood. I can assure you, it is a win-win situation.”

GFOA-PA Program Coordinator

and engaging show! Everyone truly enjoyed your spirited presentation on body
language. I don't think I've ever seen our group laugh so much! Thank you so
much for sharing your expertise with us!”

Hired Patti Over 40
Times!
"I have hired Patti Wood over forty times to kick-off my seminars around
the country and plan to use her six more times this year. She gets my audiences
energized, focused and she teaches them skills that they can incorporate in
their work life immediately. The first thing my audience members ask me when
they're deciding on whether to register is, 'Is Patti going to be there?'"
Yes she is!

Awesome Job…
You
did an awesome job! An entire day of you giving keynotes in a studio for us. I
think we have enough information captured to truly give us what we need for
your videos. Now begins the edit process. We have so much great information
from you that it will be difficult to decide what stays and what goes. We
reported out to Richard and Ashley yesterday, and everyone felt that you showed
up great on camera and delivered (as usual). I’m looking forward to April as
well (When you are live with us again). Take care Patti, and rest easy knowing you did a great job for us!

Outstanding Keynote…
“Thank you for your outstanding keynote presentation to kick
off our Credit Insurer's Association meeting. The participants said you were
excellent. You built up interest and momentum from your high energy session
which carried throughout our meeting. The two days were abuzz with comments
that showed how much fun they had and how much they learned such as "Did
you see him put his hands in his pockets!" and "I cross my arms to
think but, I'm not ADD." You really made a lasting impression. People came up to me and said they wanted more of you and
“we could listen to Patti all day. “ I really appreciate you motivating our group. We are hoping we
can have you back some time in the future so check your calendar.”

Didn't
want this day to end without telling you how much the group and I enjoyed
listening to you, learning from you and watching that body language! You have a
wonderful way about you.

Best Presentation …
“I
just wanted to say thank you for an excellent presentation at last week's
entrepreneur expo. It was easily one of the best presentations and information
sessions I have ever seen. I learned a lot about body language and the funny
thing was that you start to see examples of it everywhere. From being at a bar
talking with some friends to working with potential clients, it was just
eye-opening to see how accurate your information was…”

Engaging…Enthusiastic
and Insightful…
“Thank
you so much for such an engaging program last night” “We were treated to an
intimate, captivating gathering.” I wish I'd taken your program years ago and
over and above anything else paid attention to my own 'gut'. Thank you for your
enthusiasm and insights about so much.”
Lynn Cromer
Awesome…
“I
thought your training was awesome! I will pass your information on to our Top

You’re fantastic…
I have never been to a more delightful or interesting
presentation. I started practicing what I learned and I just can't believe the
difference it has made in such a short time. I am so glad you will be back next
year; I am bringing friends to hear you speak. Thank you for the book, I have
already started reading it. It really reinforces your presentation and makes a
great reference manual too! Good luck and thank you.”

“Patti's workshop on Deception was amazing. The next day I
looked at video clips of the politicians she mentioned. Then I stopped people in the locker room and
at book group to tell them about Patti and her insights. Can't wait to use her tips with eHarmony

·
Excellent! Has boosted my self-confidence 100 %.
·
The seminar was excellent!
I noticed a big change in everyone's presentation skills between the
first and second day.
·
The best seminar I have ever attended. The class exceeded my expectations, gave me
effective and valuable tools to use, and increased my confidence in handling
future presentations.
·
Outstanding course! I've
never had so much fun while learning so much.
·
Everyone no matter how experienced needs this class!
·
It was great
to hear you speak today, and you made a fantastic first impression on all of
us!
·
I feel like I will definitely be a better speaker following this
class.
·
This course was very beneficial.
It helped to give me great confidence in doing future presentations. I will greatly recommend this class to all my
peers. I especially enjoyed the body
language section.
·
The Easy Speaking class has given me hot tips for future
presentations. Please note that this
class was very beneficial. Going
forward--I have gained more confidence by coming to this class.
·
I expected to be bored and scared instead the
course was interesting, well presented, informative and fun. I will use the ideas for years to come.
·
What an enjoyable
experience! Even though I came to the class both days “under the weather” (I
have the flu), you made the days exciting and kept my energy level up. I
learned things about presenting I never realized – I always thought “Power
Point – less” presentations would be dry.
In fact, I know now the exact opposite is true! I am certain that I will
surprise the people I present to from now on (especially those who have heard
me before!)
·
After years
of feeling my presentations were boring, I feel that I can now make my
executive presentations dynamic!
·
Great
program. I liked your use of various
activities to keep the audience stimulated and focused.
·
Patti's
enthusiasm for her subject matter is contagious! Her memory will be etched in me based on her
memorable stories and speaking experience.
·
I never saw
a speech presented in so novel and unique a way – which met me in my primitive
brain and it lodged in the hemispheres.
·
Fantastic
enthusiasm and knowledge of subject. I
would highly recommend your seminar to other groups.
·
It was the
best “two days” of training I’ve seen – in fact, I got more out of it than
other longer classes.
·
I cannot
possibly make any suggestions for improvement! My head is still spinning from
all of the great information I learned in two days. More importantly, you proved that it is not a
very difficult task to do a good speech.
This was the best training class I’ve ever attended – regardless of the
discipline! Thanks a million!!!
·
I am looking
forward to my next opportunity to speak in front of a group, so I can try out all
of these great lessons! Two days ago, I
wouldn’t believe I’d ever say that!
·
This was the
best instructional class I’ve ever had.
·
I have to be
honest and tell you when I got the email to be in class from 8:30-6:00, my
first thought was OH MY GOD, what a long day.
But you do a great job of making learning fun, easy, energetic and the
time just flew.
·
You are
really good at what you do and you enjoy it and it shows! Thank you very much
for the useful tips and tricks. I’ll use
them in my future training classes.
