“No more shyness.”

The session landed really well. From the post-event surveys we’ve received so far, participants rated the overall experience at 4.83/5, and your presentation’s clarity, engagement, and expertise also averaged 4.83/5. The likelihood to recommend came in at 9.17/10. Every respondent indicated a mindset shift from “selling” to “connecting”. What resonated most was the mix of practical tactics and lived experience. Participants called out that “Dalene’s personal experiences and examples were very enlightening,” that you “gave actionable tips,” and even noted “No more shyness.” Another memorable takeaway they repeated was “Activity = Results. Consistency is key. Make people important.”
