“Your real life stories and photos helped our audience see and experience a ‘real’ person (as opposed to a stereotyped ‘disabled’ person) meeting life's challenges. This, along with your friendly, life affirming manner, enabled a sophisticated group of professionals to open up anew and understand your simple but powerful message of adjustment, ability, and success."
— Rob Clarke, Disability Management Employers Coalition

— Julie Becker, KQED San Francisco

The response from all who attended was overwhelmingly positive. The HR leaders from the afternoon event were energized and our Recruiters from the a.m. session were truly interested in learning more — both significant accomplishments.

I think you should consider incorporating "wildly" into your bio — at a minimum it seems to fit the reaction from the audience! I can tell you that we have already had hallway conversations about when we might be able to invite you back and keep the momentum going.
— Elizabeth Peregrino, Applied Materials, Santa Clara, CA

"Combined with your personality and style, the content that you have developed, and the accompanying visual supports, you're giving a crisp, professional, and insightful overview of disability/employment issues that would be well-received by the employees of any company."
