"As a professional speaker and speaking instructor for over two decades, I am used to watching and listening to presenters with a critical eye and ear. Usually, I can fill a notebook with "room for improvement" comments about a speaker's message, organization and delivery. But as soon as Karol Ward took the stage, I knew my notebook would be empty. Karol's warm engaging and polished speaking style makes everyone in the room feel like they are part of her inner circle. I have learned a tremdous amount from Karol about how to make changes in my own life, and also how to be a better speaker".
