Kate Davis Speaking Testimonials

"Thank you for an amazing presentation on Tuesday! When can most people say that they spent more than 3 hours laughing and learning? Rochester has a reputation as a conservative, dare I say “stodgy” place. You single-handedly took a wrecking ball to that! You’ve set the bar incredibly high for future presenters."

Dan Waltzer

Chair
The Phoenix Group, ExecDev LLC

"I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to be with us and present at the HRCC Conference.  Your presentation was nothing short of OUTSTANDING!!  The energy in the room was pulpable, we could feel the positive vibes emanating off one another.  Your keynote was the perfect way to kick off our conference, and it is exactly what we all needed after a 3 year hiatus from in-person gatherings.   You made a lasting impression on everyone, and I am still receiving the most positive feedback from your session.  You are HILARIOUS, truly!  "

Lisa Schneider

Executive Assistant

"Kate emphasized the importance of maintaining a balanced perspective, both professionally and personally. Her strategies for incorporating humor into our daily routines were not only practical but also impactful. The positive effects of her presentation have been evident in our team dynamics and individual well-being. Kate has made a positive impact on our team. Her session was not just informative but transformative, and we are grateful for the valuable lessons she imparted. I highly recommend Kate to any organization looking to enhance their team’s resilience and overall outlook through the power of humor."
