Corrinne’s delivery is dynamic and magnetic. She has the ability to make you feel like you are capable of being the very best version of yourself.
This was the best session of my day. Great thought provoking content presented in a fun and relatable way!
A real test of whether a presentation was worthwhile is when you can take the learning and immediately apply it to the workplace. Corrinne’s keynote did just that.
Corrinne’s level of connection with the audience was instantaneous, hitting the right chord quickly. 90 leaders were engaged in understanding their own ‘leadership derailers’ and took away strategies to improve their leadership.
Corrinne’s background is fascinating. She has mastered the art of storytelling. Her content and delivery is appealing to everyone in the audience from junior leaders to executives.
Engaging, practical, pitched well and highly appropriate for a group of both experienced and newly appointed senior leaders. Right on the mark for a dinnertime presentation and everyone left with something they could apply in their day to day work.
90 staff across 80 locations for 25 minutes ‘really liked the Corrinne part’. She connected to what people were thinking and not talking about, leaving them feeling uplifted. Her energy is contagious and she has a natural ability to put people in a good mood. We were delighted with the level of engagement achieved by an online keynote.
First session on a Friday with the conference dinner the night before and Corrinne had the audience captivated.
That was next level good.
