There are few people I've met who create as much positive feeling as Helen Thayer.  From our initial conversations, to the morning she spoke to our employee group, we were left feeling energized and challenged.  What an inspiration and role model!  We feel very lucky to have had the pleasure of hearing Helen speak.  And as the event organizer, I enjoyed a whole slew of thank you notes and phone calls afterwards.  Our employees loved the presentation.

Many people approached me to say how inspiring Helen is, and I received several comments of "best speaker ever!" One attendee (who is very hard to please) told me Helen is the best speaker we've had in the 18 years this employee has worked for us! I very much enjoyed working with Helen and I hope we can have her again.
