We chose Kate as the after dinner speaker for our Annual Institute Dinner. Throughout the evening Kate was absolutely fantastic, from speaking with top table guests before the meal to dancing with guests after her speech. Kate’s delivery was flawless, she engaged with everybody in the room and her speech was absolutely brilliant and had one or two people crying with laughter. I couldn’t recommend Kate more highly for any corporate events as her professionalism and humour couldn’t fail to disappoint.
Wonderful evening and Kate must have said hello or hugged most of our members!! Such a warm and interesting lady.
The feedback from our members has been tremendous, many have said it was the best meeting ever. Kate’s presentation truly inspired our members, her humour and easy chat uplifted everyone and they all went home smiling.
