Rave reviews - keynotes

I was very impressed with your keynote address. It was polished, clear and powerful. Thank you for your generous participation and contribution to the success of our recent national conference.
Elizabeth Pray, CPA, Program Co-chair, National Conference, American Society of Women Accountants

We were delighted when Alice agreed to be our opening keynote speaker. Throughout the process, from planning to execution, she exceeded our expectations. Her offers to help were genuine and solutions-based. She even agreed to do a workshop and facilitate the closing activity in addition to the keynote, making for a very long day.
         Alice is an impassioned presenter. She prepared thoroughly and immerses herself in the subject material. It's obvious that her personal "mission" is to motivate women to celebrate their gifts and talents.

Jean Hales, Chair, 1998 Women on the Move Conference, Everett Chamber of Commerce

I've often thought that an audience of accountants, even women accountants, would be a "hard sell" for a motivational speaker. Yet, here is a sampling of some of our members' comments: "She had our full attention. I appreciated the audience participation--it made me feel more alive," and, "Excellent, refreshing!" I think what struck me most, however, was the number of members who lingered afterwards not just to purchase your excellent book but to continue talking among themselves.

Nancy Garrett, program Committee, North Cascades Chapter of American Society of Women Accountants

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed your genuine passion, humor and willingness to help others see their potential within themselves and then give them the courge to follow their dreams.

Julie Nelson, President, Seattle Association of Professional Mortgage Women

We were especially impressed with the excitement that was evident as you engaged with the audience. We felt as if we were in a giant conversation rather than in a lecture situation....We laughed a lot and learned a lot, and took away with us the knowledge that we can do whatever we set our minds to.

Celine Landauer Allen, President, Bellingham Chapter, International Association of Administrative Professionals

Thank you for giving us such an enlivening talk. Your use of the interactive audience and speaker was exactly what matched and stimulated the mood of the day. The enthusiasm that the participants showed for your format was unparalleled.
         The Board of Directors was especially complementary about your inspirational effect on the audience. We appreciated your willingness to try such an intricate set of dialogues, and congratulate you on making it work so smoothly and so well.
         It was a great pleasure for me to work with you in all the necessities of what it takes to produce your place in our program. You were so prompt, clear, and efficient that you gave me a strong feeling of accomplishment to hear and witness you as a speaker.

Johanna MacPherson, Women's Business Exchange of Seattle

It's so evident to see your commitment to helping empower women's lives through your book and your keynote address. Your determination, graciousness and integrity will long be remembered.

Betsy Fradd, Coordinator, Women's Breakfast Forum, Highline Community College

Your style and energy brought out the best in our staff.

Anita Johansen, Staff Training Coordinator, Everett Public Library

Our Board Members were especially impressed by your vivacity, wisdom and humor. You really helped us to be involved in your presentation. I know everyone truly identified with the women you researched and whose stories you shared.

Myra Smith, President, Bellingham Zonta International Club

Alice is a true professional. She is thorough in her preparations and listens to the needs and ideas of the group. She is extremely personable, warm, gracious, and REAL. She meets time lines well before deadline, and on the day of the conference, arrives early and is well organized and very prepared. I wish all the presenters I have worked with were as conscientious.
         The evaluations of the individual sessions (Work Styles and Where Have All the Smart Women Gone?) consistently received high marks. Her keynote address on "How to Become the Hero of Your Own Life" was "the icing on the cake" for our conference.
         I highly recommend Alice. I believe you will find her to be an effective presenter who will touch the heart and soul of your organization.

Ariel Cleasby-Heaven, Program Coordinator, Professional Development, Western Washington University

Alice Rowe was a very engaging speaker and led branch members in an interactive program, encouraging all of us to look at our own struggles and triumphs as women. This experiential program was not only enlightening for each member individually, but we all learned a great deal about each other. The community building that the program offered was invaluable.
