Speaker testimonials
Daniele did a magnificent job! I was really pleased to have her at our Coaches Symposium. She captivated our coaches. For example, when she was talking there were no side convos or comments, not a lot of movement and all eyes stayed forward and on Daniele. She did a great job of summarizing her story with some main important points. Daniele also injected some good humour to keep people engaged. Audience loved her and was very glad to learn from her experiences. She was very good and exceeded my expectations. I would recommend Daniele as a keynote speaker.
