Capturing the key elements to make your otherwise dull story humorous takes skill. Katie gives you the tools — using humor, of course.

— Kathy Slattengren, Speaker, Author, Coach

Katie is an amazing mentor and coach. She always provided encouragement, constructive feedback, and suggestions for public speaking. She helped me to enhance my public speaking skill. This empowered me to express my thoughts more clearly in meetings and discussion. Thank you so much, Katie. YOU ARE AWESOME!

We have scheduled Katie over and over.  She has entertained every crowd no matter the subject. She is witty and kind, lively and just plain funny!

— Rebecca Boehm, Leasing Director, Garden Court

We made it a point to schedule Katie’s continuing education class every year. Our brokers said it was packed with useful information, and I could hear them laughing even back in my office.

I've known Katie for years, ever since I first joined my local chapter of my professional society. I've always known her to be serious when serious is needed — a great colleague and mentor, fiercely dedicated to her clients, community, friends and family. But oh YES, she is funny. I've attended Katie's talks, as diverse as a Toastmasters competition and a presentation on "Effective Methods for Communicating with Seniors." Katie understands pacing, wordplay, vocal inflection, body language and, I'm sure, a bunch of other elements of effective public speaking of which I'm not even aware. Anyone who wants to learn or strengthen his/her communication skills will benefit from Katie's coaching.

Katie put together and delivered a great informative talk for our software development group at BSQUARE! The talk included terminology, diagrams and examples. Everyone understood much better how the new hardware development department would coordinate with our software development department.

Your ‘Humor for the Humor-Challenged’ workshop at the conference was unique. I’ve never seen anyone explain humor before.

— Robert Cottrell, Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Network Specialist

Thank you, Katie for the great talk you gave to the Seattle National Association of Professional Organizers. As the current Vice President of Seattle NAPO, I wanted to make sure to write you a quick testimonial for your presentation. You did an amazing job delivering the information in a clear, concise flow of your knowledge of Senior Move Management. You covered so much information that was easy to follow adding a touch of humor to keep us attentive to the information you were sharing.  You answered all the questions asked by the attendees and were a great resource for all those in attendance. Thank you again for your time speaking to our group. We all look forward to hearing from you again in the future.

— Linda Deppa, CPO, Vice President Seattle NAPO Chapter
