Client Feedback

NHRMA, Conference Co-chair – Marguerite honed in on exactly what was needed for our keynotes. She anticipated our concerns and resolved issues before they came up! Unparalleled! I will recommend your bureau to any organization that wants quality keynote speakers for their membership or employees.

Point B – First class service .. timely assistance and very courteous. I saved significant time in research. All presenters have met or exceeded expectations. Keep up the good work - you have a "personal touch" which is welcome!

Washington Association of District Employees. – The speakers bureau has a good variety of presenters and presentations. It is one-stop shopping when looking for a keynote speaker for a conference. Margy was very helpful in choosing a speaker within our price range and presentation needs. She was very quick to respond to my questions.

Wa Department of Information Services, Training Manager – The Leadership Series was very well received. It provided the information and networking opportunities managers need to be effective today and to plan for the future. Marguerite Peterson was a delight to work with and the trainers are outstanding individuals with an obvious concern for meeting our needs.

Oberto’s Sausage Company – Wasn’t sure where to go to get an Olympic speaker - your help was invaluable! Really appreciated your help.

American Society of Chartered Life Underwriters – Thank you for the two outstanding motivational speakers for my program. Both keynote speakers were rated excellent and were great to work with. The replacement speaker was outstanding! I received more compliments on her presentation than any other. It was a pleasure working with you!

Society of Government Meeting Planners, President – You have provided excellent speakers and trainers for our chapter meetings, our members and their agencies. Your services are a valuable resource for meeting planners trying to address a diverse audience. I am proud to be affiliated with someone who demonstrates knowledge and commitment toward the meeting and conference planning industry.

WA Department of Natural Resources – Marguerite Peterson is providing a valuable service to the training and business community in screening consultants for a variety of needs. I have found her to be flexible, creative, professional and most of all - someone I trust.

Accenture – Summer 2008 – Helen Thayer was a wonderful addition to our community meeting. Her presentation was mesmerizing and the photographs were awe-inspiring. Our team appreciated her unique style of story-telling that allowed us draw our own relevant conclusions about goal-setting and overcoming obstacles. We are privileged to learn about her journey and the lessons along the way.

American Public Works Association. – Once I contacted Seattle Bookings, everything went so smoothly. A couple of phone calls and emails and everything fell into place. I had no concerns about hiring a speaker and then having him/her cancel. I had the utmost confidence after speaking with Margy Peterson.

Windemere Real Estate – You identified speakers we had not thought of. Excellent service! Kept in touch, great follow-up, and friendly. We look forward to working with you on all our seminars.

DOL Leadership conference JG – I enjoyed the John Gibson and the topic of multi-generational communication- the differences in communication styles, manners, etc. from one generation to the next. I now have a better understanding how to effectively communicate with generations outside of my own. The work force is no longer only diverse as far as different cultures. Older people are staying longer and younger people are entering the work force sooner and you have the in-betweeners. This presentation taught the differences and how to work through them by recognizing those differences.

St. Francis Gala Auction – Bill Radke was the perfect emcee for the St. Francis Gala and Auction. His timing was impeccable. He kept the evening moving--it was never rushed. He connected immediately with the audience. Everyone commented on his easy-going, yet firm approach to managing the evening and audience. He managed to keep people laughing; he was never offensive or inappropriate. He was simply delightful, and we'd love to have him emcee our event again. He's the best!

Bank of the West – David Goldman met our needs and exceeded our expectations. The only time spent in securing a speaker was a brief explanation of what we were looking for, and making the final selection. The process was very easy. Marguerite was very helpful and attentive in the selection process

WA Trial Lawyers Association, Executive Director – Excellent service! The bureau helped identify potential speakers, offered new ideas for interesting programs and tapped into a different of potential speakers.
