“The communication class we just had with you at Okanagan College was amazing and I didn’t want it to end.  So, thank you!!”
– L Palay (Student)

The Delta Managerial Society was pleased to host Faith at a recent professional development session. Over 60 Society members attended the two hour session and were rewarded with a jam packed session filled with anecdotal information, practical applications, thought provoking dialogue and group discussions. Faith easily communicated the practice of being civil and shared her life experiences in applying techniques when having to deal with those difficult conversations, or just managing life’s bumps. I highly recommend Faith if you want to be inspired.
– Diana Cousins, President,  Delta Managerial Society

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your classes. I hope that I can put into practice the lessons that we learned from you. They were always positive, inspirational and heart-felt. I know your classes were helpful for me. I believe that we can all pull from this wealth information when we need to, in our search for employment or to improve our lives. Thank you.
– Alida

I thought I would tell you how grateful I am to have had you as my therapist all those years ago. I feel you truly changed my life for the better. I’m seeing a psychologist right now just trying to keep on top of things but when I met you it was my darkest days. You helped my daughter and my wife.  You are truly one of the most compassionate people I have ever met.  Thanks again, you have changed so many lives for the better

I really appreciated Faith’s ability to teach through story telling. Her candid humour made spending the day with her enjoyable. I took so much away from her presentation and started applying her concepts right away with my team!

– Caval Olson-Lepage, Saskatchewan Young Leaders

Faith was able to take a silly game we had planned to energize our group and turn it into course content and relate it back to the lessons. I was VERY impressed by that.

– Darcy Griffith, Saskatchewan Young Leaders

Faith was unreal! Engaging, intelligent, forward thinking!! I learned so much and actually practiced it but didn’t feel like I was making myself stay on track. The flow was unreal and content was perfect. She knew how to command a room and deliver immense value.

– SYL Retreat attendee

We all need more Faith in our lives!

– Meghan Fossenier, Saskatchewan Young Leaders

Faith Wood is a wonderful human being. She has the ability to build connections with people instantly. Her facilitation and storytelling skills are captivating. She’s full of wisdom and creativity and is hilarious. I highly recommend her for any leadership conference.

– Julie Beleshinski, Saskatchewan Young Leaders

Highly recommend Faith Wood for your group events! I asked Faith to speak to my group on relatively short notice – not only was she able to squeeze me in but she knocked everyone’s socks off!! Her presentation made me look so good for brining her in that I can’t wait for another opportunity to hire her amazing ability. She was personable, genuine and was sensitive to the audience’s unspoken responses which allowed her to take the opportunity to draw conversation that was vulnerable and honest. I was riveted, and breathed in every word she spoke! Everyone was very, very happy – the time was over before they wanted it to end! Until next time, thank you Faith!!

– Sue Styles

Faith Wood’s (Zoom) presentation “Leading Calmly through Conflict” was not only interesting, informative and, enjoyable but also resulted in those attending walking away with concrete  strategies that could easily be implemented.  Participants felt their time was well spent!
– Gay, SharED Program Co-ordinator

The class that was the biggest eye-opener for me was Faith Wood’s “A Cure for Willful Blindness”. Throughout my life, I have let my desire to think and speak well of others turn into that flawed blind spot she spoke of. She posed the question, “What am I not seeing at work?” Our jobs are so intense and full of legal ramifications that we sometimes get overwhelmed and over fatigued, and we miss things that should be addressed. (more…)

A Cure for Willful Blindness made me open my eyes to things I should not let slide just because I don’t think what I say matters or because I don’t want to upset anyone. It could end up harming me, my fellow employees and/or the City I work for. What to do in an Active Shooter Situation reaffirms the plans I have made and has pushed me into asking my co-workers to think about theirs. – Susan R. Hale, Sunset City Recorder (Utah Municipal Clerks Assn. Conference)

Faith is inspiring, energetic and wildly entertaining. I’ve listened to many professional speakers over the years, but Faith Wood is among the best. I’ve known some professional speakers to just talk the talk and when it comes to walking the walk – most don’t even take a single step in the direction they speak of. Faith is very different, her life experiences have put things into a very unique perspective. The delivery is thought provoking, full of charisma and wit. She would be a welcome addition to any public speaking event. Plus, her skills in handwriting analysis are astounding.
– Tish Bell (Boychuk)

Want to know how to gather information quickly and successfully, or how to negotiate or resolve conflict? Well, this is the course to gain those skills. Faith did an excellent job in presenting, and I hope many others in the association will follow in taking this course.
– Michael Young, S/Cst.

This course concluded today and I want to let everyone know what they missed out on! This was an excellent opportunity for us to enhance our communication skills to “cut to the chase” and be able to negotiate conflicts in a very simple and effective manner. We are so impressed that I’ll be asking the city to bring Faith back to run it again, in the fall…
– Garry Roth

I am one of many who appreciates you and your outstanding efforts. In my 54 years on this planet and during a working life that has had 5 peace officer appointments, I feel qualified to say that you are one of those people who brings character to your job. You are a credit to your family, friends, citizenry and the community. Society is in a state of flux, you are committed to principles that are not.
Don Ahlquist

I contracted Ms. Wood to provide a full-day seminar at our conference in Banff. The seminar was very successful, as Ms. Wood’s presentation was interesting, informative, and entertaining. Ms Wood is a very dynamic speaker and I highly recommend her services!
– Patty Lehaul, Alberta Crown Prosecutor

I cannot tell you how much your seminars mean to me and what joy and awareness they bring. The privilege of attending two in the last 3 months is a bonus. Your presentation skills are the best I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. Many seminars in this 63 year old life, all of value, all a wonderful learning, but if I was given a choice, after experiencing you, it would always be you I went to. Looking forward to more presentations during our next fiscal year, with or without the Power Point! You are all the Power we need!
– Lynzie Pilfold

As a peace officer, I looked to further my career. However, my own mind had other ideas, and I felt the only thing standing between me and my goal was the PARE (Physical Ability Requirement Evaluation). I had completed it three times, but could not meet the goal of 4:45. It wasn’t as if I couldn’t see my goal, it was right there, on the other side of this huge wall. Referred to Faith by a friend, I thought Guided Imagery would perhaps give me the courage and motivation to get where I really wanted, no, deserved to be. After one session with Faith, I felt good enough to jog home!
The motivation she instilled in me kept me going, even if I’d rather be anywhere than the gym. I’m proud to say that a short few weeks later, I passed the PARE with a time of 3:33, but I’m even more proud to say that Faith’s work inspired me to get there!
– Peace Officer Kendyl Hudson

Faith Wood has a charismatic way of presenting to a group. Her Predator / Prey information is serious and critical, however she delivers it with humour and an intensity that drives the point home. The value in her message is very clear and simple which makes her recommendations easily applied in our day to day lives. After hearing Faith give her message, our group is better prepared to protect themselves and make safe decisions. A great investment for your group, give them some “Faith” in intuition and permission to use their own power!
– Jill Jones

I really enjoyed the course and your facilitation! Your facilitation skills are excellent including your ability to move things forward and stay focused. The material and content you covered will be extremely useful to us as we move forward. Your presentation captivated and energized me!
Dave Gerlitz – Youth Programs

I want to thank you again for the ‘out of box’ experience last week at the Farm Womens Conference. If it wasn’t for the room full of women and the hunch of trust I had for you, I never would have gotten up on that stage. Getting hypnotized was never on my ‘to do’ list. Awesome!

Pam Israelson

Having Faith Wood “warm up” the attendees at our  Alberta Restorative Justice Association fall conference formal supper with her handwriting analysis was nothing short of amazing!  The feedback the Board has received about Faith has been ‘glowing’.  During dessert, Faith was asked to ‘keep the crowd’ engaged and in their seats before our other key note speaker took to the stage, and she did just that,…with amazing results!  It is obvious that Faith is an expert in the field of handwriting analysis and she is able to present this to the crowd as a fun and interactive activity that has the crowd engaged and eager for more.  Faith allows us all to take a little look inside our own personalities and she delivers this knowledge, zest, and flair.  I most highly recommend Faith Wood and her handwriting analysis to any group looking to bring some energy into the room, have interaction with the audience, keep the attendees interested and wanting more, and most of all,…having fun!  If you are looking for something different that has not been done before, try Faith and her handwriting analysis, Faith does not disappoint.

Betty J. Lynn-Benson – Alberta Restorative Justice Association

She was a wonderful presenter and I would definitely attend another seminar presented by her. She has a wealth of knowledge and made foreign concepts real to the accounting crowd. I’ll be able to use these techniques daily.

Faith brought a lot of energy into the training session today. Her depth of experience in conflict resolution gave me the sense I can use the tools that she gave me to better resolve conflicts as they come up in the future.

The day zipped by and I could have signed up for a second day.

Faith is an excellent presenter, humorous and knowledgeable.

Faith Wood entered our annual regional meeting with a big smile and positive radiant energy.  Faith started her wonderful presentation and everyone in the group started smiling and laughing,  forgetting about their everyday stresses.  Faith left our group with real life experiences and easy ways to deal with our stresses.   THANKS FAITH.

Bob Bomberak – District Park Supervisor, Winnipeg Beach

Recently I attended a keynote presentation given by Faith Wood …  the fellow that introduced her stated that she had a “dynamic” personality …   well that is an understatement …   in the dictionary “dynamic” refers to  “marked by continuous productive activity – energy” and dynamic she was.  When you hear some of the obstacles that she has overcome in her personal life … it leaves you with a feeling that life isn’t as bad as we thought – we all have problems and crisis to deal with, maybe our problems are not as big as we feel they are.

My mother has a saying ….   in everybody’s life there is a box full of problems and we all have to put our hand in that box and pull one out …   we might pull out a big one … or a small one… and sometimes we pull out two at a time that are stuck together.. but everybody gets to deal with  “the box”….

It really is not that 649 ticket that is going to make our life better ..  it’s our attitude.  If you ever have the opportunity to go to one of Faith Wood’s presentations you will not be disappointed.

Shirley Wintink, Water Conservation, Manitoba

I was amazed at how I was able to use the tips you gave during your short presentation at the HRIA conference.  Following that day, I ended up having difficult conversations at work and with my family.  Being able to throw out the positive energy as well as minding my space and avoiding blame, we were able to reach consensus and everyone walked away feeling better about it.  Thanks for the great advice!!

A big thank you for making your schedule work in order to present and open on Friday night at our 2nd Annual Holistic Conference & Retreat – Experience the Peace! Our attendees really enjoyed your presentation. You are indeed a talented and inspirational presenter and we would not hesitate to recommend you. Thank you for a job well done!

Even as technology takes over our lives, I still relish in face to face communication and therefore thoroughly enjoyed Faith’s information on body language.  Appreciated the depth of her knowledge versus just simple body language tips that one commonly hears.  Faith, thank you for a very entertaining, enlightening, and engaging hour.
Carolyn Kaldy

“I saw Faith for the first time at a professional development conference in November 2013. I tried to listen with just one ear while planning which speaker I was going to see next. I even sat at the back to avoid being noticed. She didn’t let me because she was engaging, funny, and smart. I left the room smarter too. I look forward to seeing her again soon. I’ve definitely become a fan. Thank-you, Faith, for making the conference better.”
Bernie May

The presentation on Body Language was entertaining and very informative.
Real life examples were so easy to relate to and I learned a great deal.
I would highly recommend Faith for your next seminar!

I understand how important body language is in our day to day communications as I have taken a body language class previous to this. However, after attending your session at the Health & Safety conference, I realize that I still have much to learn. I loved your session and was engaged until the end. Your humorous approach was a great way to involve the audience and keep us interested! I’d love to attend another one of your sessions and recommend you to anyone that wants to teach their group the importance of body language in a fun way!
Kind regards,

Our staff still talk with enthusiasm about taking your hand- writing analysis workshop  – to the point where our new employees not only have to provide them with their signature, but provide a full sentence for a complete analysis!  Several staff have expressed interest in taking your online course and are anxiously awaiting the details of its launch.

Lois Harper
Manager, Culture & Heritage
City of Grande Prairie

We had Faith join us at our home for the Stephenson Cardiovascular MRI Centre Xmas party on November 30th, 2013 where she was going to do some handwriting analysis.  We had about 75 people in attendance and I’m sure at least 70 of those had their handwriting analyzed by Faith.  Initially there was some skepticism but it was short lived as each time someone came away from seeing Faith their eyes were wide with shock at how well she had “read” their handwriting and they spread the news.  The main talk of the evening ended up being about how good Faith was at her job!  We were at another Xmas party last night where some of the same people who attended our party were and they were still going on about Faith!

Thanks so much Faith for making our party a hit!!!
Yvonne Kendrick

On 28 May 2014, it was my pleasure to be in the audience at a presentation offered by Ms. Faith Wood as she delivered a session to a group of County employees in Central Alberta. I am a  professional speaker, like Ms. Wood, and I always take every opportunity to attend presentations of other professional speakers as it is always beneficial to see the delivery style and content of other speakers. In observing Ms. Woods session, I spent as much time watching the audience as I did watching Ms. Wood and I was taken aback by the level of engagement and participation she developed in the audience.

The audience was comprised of a group of folks that I would have characterized as “sit and be entertained” people and as she was explaining the audience participation portion of her presentation, I thought to myself “good luck getting these people to participate”. To my delight and the surprise, she had people standing and participating in activities and engagement that I never thought would be possible.

I would attribute her success to her infectious energetic style, her appropriate use of humour and her ability to weave her stories into her instructive content. I was awestruck.

In short, the presentation and delivery style of Ms. Wood provided an engaged, energetic, instructive and powerful session and I would jump at the chance to see her present any of the other sessions she has in her arsenal.

Hi Faith, I really enjoyed your presentations at the PMI NAC conference. Besides the content that you presented, I thoroughly enjoyed your energy, dynamics, humour and the pedagogical approaches that you used. Fabulous speaker and presenter !  Elyse Mireille Lecharrois

I hope all is well.  The feedback from your presentation was probably the best I have seen in my 7 years on the board of directors so thank-you again for an amazing presentation.

Testimonial in reference to Faith Wood’s presentations at the IIMC Conference in Milwaukee, May 2014.  She spoke on how Technology may be undermining our ability to Communicate as well as Getting through the Social Media muck

Your session in Milwaukee was great as well as your session last year in Atlantic City.

Frankly, the course material was not what I expected.  Although you converted me, I was going in for justification not to use all of this social media stuff and voluminous emails that simply consumes too much of my day.

Before doing the assessment, I down-loaded your materials “Cutting Through the Social Media Muck” thinking that was to be the material addressed in the assessment.  Upon review of that material I learned exactly what you said about this being our new way of life and to use the phrase, either get on the train or watch it go bye, truly applies.

You are a remarkable and captivating speaker whom I would not hesitate to refer.

Kevin Galland
Municipal Clerks Association of New Jersey

Faith presented at our Lacombe County Employee Health, Safety and Wellness Day to a very diverse group ranging from administrative employees to mechanics, road construction crew, Community Peace Officers and agricultural workers.

Her unique ability to engage all of our employees with her personalized and interesting stories was evident in the comments we received from our employees in all departments ….“awesome speaker”…”best day we’ve ever had”….”second to none”….”really enjoyed myself”….“informative”…”engaging speaker”. Faith’s high energy presentations were the highlights of our day!

Thanks again Faith,

Employees are still talking about how great the day went and the quality of your presentations.

Influencing with Integrity is a 4 day workshop designed to provide insights into personality preferences, conflict navigation, nonverbal communication strategies and the basics of negotiation.

In October 2014, Faith provided 3 rounds of training to staff of Alberta Environment.  Below are a few of the comments she received post-training.

– Faith is a very versatile instructor, able to make general concepts relevant and applicable to the group.Loved the course! Will use information learned in current work environment.
– Fantastic course – excellent insight into personalities and individual reflections.
– Great course! Lots of informative and useful info. Nice to participate in a course that isn’t GOA focused.
– Overall I really enjoyed the course. Faith was a great presenter. I was engaged throughout the duration of this 4 day workshop. She is an excellent teacher.
– Everyone in Government Services should take this training!
– This course was a little overwhelming at the beginning (1st hour) but by the end it made more sense.   Very Interesting – I really enjoyed this course.
– Very practical and helpful! Gave really good perspectives. Thanks so much.
– This was a very useful course that I think everyone should have.
– I think the course was great and very useful and helpful! A refresher course would be a great addition.
– I didn’t know what to expect from this training and it surpassed anything I could have hoped for!
– This was a great course, filled with information that I can use in my work now and into the future.
– Would love to have additional refresher training and coaching between 6 and 12 months of this workshop.
– Everyone who has relationships – whether professional or personal – should take this course.
– Excellent for personal and work relationships
– The concepts were very enlightening. I understand myself a whole lot better now.

I wanted to send a note of sincere thanks to you for your ‘Cure for Willful Blindness’ presentation at last week’s symposium.  The content and discussion generated great enthusiasm from the learners and food for thought on how we all potentially play a part in willful blindness in our everyday lives.

You helped make the event meaningful, memorable, and an exceptional learning experience for everyone involved.
Thanks again,

Your presentation was fabulous! Everytime you speak to the Hypnosis Society of Alberta our members walk away feeling uplifted and inspired. I loved the NLP anchors you showed us and will use them in my own hypnosis practice.

Thank you so much and do not hesitate to come back and visit us again.
Dr. Bob Levenson, President

I highly recommend Faith Wood as a presenter/ speaker/ facilitator for the sole reason; you get VALUE for your time and money. I have had the pleasure to be part of 2 presentations by Faith and both times I walked away not only with an empowered feeling of I can do so much more, but also I have learned something that I can use for my personal life and my professional life. What more can you want from a presenter?

Her presentations are entertaining yet professional and to the point. She makes you experience what she is asking you to stretch for and backs it up with theories and knowledge. Because of the full package she delivers in a short time, I am taking courses from her to become a master NLP, as I know my investment will double its value and I will walk away enriched!

Thank you so much for our coaching session this week.

It’s refreshing to talk to a coach who is willing to offer suggestions to help me and my business grow that I can afford to implement right away. I literally went back to my office and started on my homework!

I loved that you were “real” and down to earth, it wasn’t about you trying to sell me a program that I would need to sell my first born to take on. I look forward to implementing Faith’s suggestions and seeing where my business goes next.

I’d recommend Faith to anyone who’s looking for someone to mentor you, someone who truly understands what it’s like to have the desire to grow and is willing to share her experiences with you.

Thanks again Faith, I’ll definitely be reconnecting!
Linda Roberts, Calgary Divorce Mediators

Faith is a very dynamic, entertaining and thought-provoking speaker. Her topics on Willful Blindness, delivered to two sets of Project Managers in Spring and Fall 2014 were very well received by the participants and exceeded our expectations in every aspect. Her inspirational and educational presentation shared a captivating theory of how we go about both being willfully blind ourselves, and how we recognize but sometimes don’t act on the willful blindness of others we come into contact with. Hard-hitting in so many ways.

The preparatory work Faith puts in prior to the ‘gig’ is an area that sets her up for success – truly understanding the audience dynamics and challenges resulted in a more personalized delivery.

I particularly enjoyed Faith’s encouragement of audience participation throughout her presentation as it kept the audience engaged while providing an opportunity to practice new thought processes.

The biggest value that Faith brings is her personality and ability to strike a personal chord with her audience. Long after the session was complete we still had participants discussing willful blindness, body language signals, and general leadership concepts as they relate to our environment.

I’d highly recommend Faith for any form of speaking engagement centered on her areas of expertise – she is by far one of the most accomplished speakers that I’ve had the pleasure to learn from. We will certainly be using her for future engagements.

Should you require any further clarification please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Just want to thank you for a fun and interesting seminar. When I signed up I wasn’t sure what to expect. I left feeling that I had learned something valuable. You are a powerful speaker who has knowledge and the passion to share that knowledge with others. Thank you for sharing that with me and the rest of the class today.

I am very interested in receiving a copy of your e-book. I can see great value in your belief hand writing analysis could be a valuable tool in my pursuit to help students, co-workers, my family and friends.
Irene Shelton, Calgary Board of Education Convention 2015

I absolutely enjoyed this snapshot of your Handwriting Analysis session & your dynamic presentation style.  I am so ready to learn so much more
Christa Hayward, Calgary Board of Education Convention 2015

Hi Faith, I attended your class for Handwriting analysis last Friday afternoon at the SA convention. I had fun and was impressed with the results of a stranger analysing my tiny handwritten sentence. I really enjoyed myself during that session.
Raul Hernandez, Calgary Board of Education

Thank you so much for coming to the CBE Convention. It was wonderful to be able to attend your AHA workshop, filled with “Aha moments.” Who knew that a person’s handwriting revealed so much about both, their dreams as well as their challenges. I have always believed that people are able to do their best when you give them what they need. Up to now I’ve always just used observsational skills to try and figure out what motivates the children that I work with and then plug into those needs. Being able to analyse handwriting would be another great tool.
Lorna Ronneberg, Calgary Board of Education

I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your luncheon chat with us this past Friday. I especially related to your candor and straightforwardness approach. Its refreshing to me though its not always appreciated out in the nice workplaces like my last one.

The “dust” has finally begun to settle so to speak and I am finally getting around to sending you an e mail. First of all, I would like to say how much I enjoyed the class I took with you on the advantages of handwriting analysis plus how much I enjoyed your delivery of the information. You were so “animated” and fun that a person couldn’t help but enjoy the class plus learn from it too, bonus!!! 🙂

Last night I attend a SWO CAPS meeting and was blown away by Faith’s energy.  Faith spoke on Mind Magic – how to captivate from the stage.   She was able to actively engage the audience and I walked away with all kinds of new ideas. I’m presenting at a HR conference at the end of the month and I can’t wait to be more innovative with my talk.

Watch out London!
Wendy Thompson
CAPS SWO – London, Ontario

Your presentation earlier this evening in London was inspiring.  After 25 years of teaching testosterone-laden, digitally-distracted, hormonal, too-cool-for-school, post secondary guys with an attitude… who would still inspire me?  Turns out, Faith Wood.

“Faith was our opening key note speaker at the annual convention for the PSASA (Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa). And she was fantastic! She truly did open the convention with the right tone and set up all the other speakers to have a warm and engaged audience. Her presentation was flawless and the reception was fantastic.

Faith was a pleasure to work with, and as an organizer, she made my job easy and a pleasure to do. “

I really enjoyed this session (Influencing and Motivating Engaged Teams at the IIMC Convention in Hartford, Connecticut – May 2015). While I’ve been blessed to take a number of leadership classes over the years, this was a new perspective for me and helped me reflect on what I can control / influence within my teams, department and organization. As someone who is about to take the leap from an assistant director to director – I’m looking to set a new tone for our already successful and positive team.
Kyle Stannert

I was recently at a conference where Faith was speaking on Influencing others. It was incredible, I came out of the session with a renewed idea of how to be an influential person. I would certainly recommend anyone in a leadership or human resources related role see Faith Wood speak about Influence. Incredible.
Martin Palindat

Faith, I just wanted to capture my thoughts from your presentation on Monday night and share them with you so you knew what an incredible impact you had on me.

I am motivated and inspired now to really step out of my comfort zone in my speaking business.  I so realize now that my fun factor, passion and energy are what’s needed on stage, and in all areas of my life.  Thank you for inspiring me to play full out, and have more fun.

The stories, tips and media you used were excellent.  I could really see how it was all relevant, not just in my speaking business, but in my life.  I especially enjoyed the variety you shared.

Your ability to hold our attention, your inspirational messages and depth of stories, and your amazing wealth of content was fabulous.

Thanks so much for inspiring me on so many level and for your funny sense of humor which came through so many times.  I really enjoyed it.

I look forward to using your ideas as I move forward with life and business, and I’m thrilled to be staying in touch through social media.

I also look forward to meeting you in Halifax in December!

Thank you again for all that you shared with us.

I enjoy hearing you speak, you have excellent presence. You seem very comfortable when you speak, which makes it very comfortable to listen. Something I hope to emulate in my own presentations someday.
Ian Wollbaum

I really enjoyed this session at IIMC in May 2015 (and the motivation session). It definitely has me taking a second look at things both professionally and personally. A tough thing to do, but necessary!

Your book – The Accidental Audience was great – I couldn’t put it down.
Thank you

You’re a great role model.

I am really enjoying the Colbie Colleen series.  Book two picks up three years later and takes Colbie’s crime solving skills international when her friend and fellow PI needs her help on a big case. It’s a page turner with enough bad actors to keep Colbie’s intuitive skills sharp and ever in need.  Even so, there’s an ending that even Colbie can’t expect.  I’m looking forward to number three!
Dawn Ross, All Tasks Services

Faith was a breath of good, fresh air. She was so engaging that we hadn’t realized that the day had flown by. Her personal stories were fascinating but quite relevant to our topic of Change. Faith imparted her wisdom and understanding about how we may move through life without fear of change, rather, she encouraged us to embrace it. Thanks Faith.

I highly recommend Faith as a keynote speaker for any event.  She was so personable and excellent to deal with.  Our very first conversation was so easy and Faith was so friendly and just made everything flow.  Such an amazing, positive person.  I was so excited to meet her in person and she did not disappoint, she was everything I imagined from our previous email conversations.

Faith was such an excellent addition to our Women’s Conference that we hold annually.  We have about 100-150 women in attendance for this event and the feedback forms were all 5 out of 5 for Faith’s address.

In the beginning our committee was having trouble choosing what we wanted Faith to speak on to make it work with our theme that we had chosen.  She made it very easy to come to a final decision by combining a couple of her topics to make it an amazing ending to the day.  There was not one woman in the room that left that day feeling anything but uplifted and positive.  To this day, 5 months later, we still hear positive words from women on the streets of our small town about Faith.

Some of the comments included were:

“Wow Faith was amazing”
“Truly enjoyed Faith’s presentation”
“Faith was fabulous”
“Grateful for the time given by Faith”
“Faith was very well put together”
“Faith had great energy”
“Very Inspirational”

The above were just some of the many comments that were written on the feedback forms.  I really can’t say enough about how professional and friendly Faith was to work with and would most definitely have her back to speak again.  She was so adaptable and met every need that we had and I just hope that we were as easy to work with as she was.

Thank you so much for making our event just that much better.  I feel very blessed to have gotten the chance to meet Faith and hear her words of encouragement.

Kayla Ring
Nanton Women’s Conference Committee member

From the moment I met Faith I knew there was something special about her. Any company or individual who hires Faith to speak will be very impressed. I am pleased to recommend her as your next guest speaker. As an event host and CEO of Ignite Me Now, I had the pleasure of hosting Faith as our guest speaker for a networking function and her abilities never ceased to amaze me.

Her charismatic energy mixed with her joyful personality allows the audience to listen intently. She is able to deliver a very powerful message in a short amount of time that truly engages the crowd. She’s funny and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table.

Faith’s talk on body language and how this can be used effectively when networking enabled the audience to practice immediately. The audience was left feeling more confident and empowered. This is exactly what I look for when working with speakers. She is a woman who is a living example that displays authenticity.

With Faith’s ability, engagement and delivery of a powerful talk, I would highly recommend her for your next keynote. You will be pleased you did. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the above address or direct phone (403) 828-7173.
