Keynote Topic
“I wanted to pass along the great response we received from our clients and associates from Pattye Moore’s presentation at the Tulsa Business Journal’s ‘40 Under 40’ event earlier this week at the Tulsa Air & Space Museum. Despite the early hour on a Monday morning, Pattye got them paying rapt attention. Afterward, there was a good line of folks wanting to visit with her personally one on one instead of bolting for the office. That tells me that she was on message and it hit home with many of those attending.”
-Steve Trolinger, President of Community Publishers – Bentonville, AR
“Thank you so much for arranging to have Pattye Moore as our opening Keynote Speaker for the 2009 Centennial Conference of the Association for Women in Communications. Pattye was the perfect choice for our group of dynamic women and her talk on ‘Developing Instincts of Leadership’ set just the right tone for our conference. Our national office recently tallied the results from our attendee questionnaires and Pattye received a 98% Excellent/Good rating from those who attended the opening session. We received outstanding feedback on the entire conference and much of that was due to the excellent caliber of our speakers. Our members also enjoyed having a chance to meet and chat with Pattye during the conference and to be able to purchase her book.
