She then tailored her talk to the events we had just experienced as if she had been there with us. What a talent! The comments for the attendees included: 'Awesome' and 'What a dynamite way to end the conference!'' Her energy and enthusiasm for our conference were palpable."

"Thank you for rearranging your schedule in order to participate as keynote speaker for our meeting. I have heard nothing but positive feedback from the group. You were very entertaining and your techniques very practical.
One producer actually called me late afternoon yesterday to report that he left after our conference for a prospect meeting. In the prospect meeting this particular producer used your technique regarding 'telling stories about what his clients would say about him and how he helped them' to sell himself. Good news was he landed the account. Thanks again Patricia for making our sales conference a success."

—Rosemarie Wilson, ADP, Major Accounts District Manager
Crestcom International, Ltd.
"Thank you for an exemplary performance. I have received about 25% of the Post International Meeting Surveys and 'ya' done good.' We ask folks to rate various parts of the meeting on a scale from 1 to 10 (with 10 being the highest). Please keep in mind we have a vary jaded audience. These folks listen to and present top quality speakers to audiences around the world on a day-to-day basis. They have 'seen them all.' Most of the scores I have seen for you were 10s. Occasionally you received a '10+' and even a '10!'
I was most impressed with the hard work you had to have done to weave the details of our organization into your presentation seamlessly. If that was not obvious to our audience, it was most certainly appreciated subliminally. "When given a task handle it magnificently." You did! The added touch of autographed books and the individual photos will continually remind our folks of your message ... and you. I wish you continued success in being a shining example of what a person in the speaking and training industry can be. Positively!"
—Bob Sanner, Director
ADP National Account Services

"One of our trained workshop evaluators who attended your session on public speaking said, 'I found Patricia to be a presenter that exceeds our ratings scale. She provides the right mix to cover the entire group.' In speaking to others after the class, they all said if this was presented again, they would take it as they feel there is more to learn than they could get in one time to improve their skills."
—Jim Medlock, CPP, Senior Director of Education and Training
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce

—Jason Kleimola Manager, Marketing & Programs

"Patricia Fripp has been the primary aspect of the American Payroll Association's commitment to the improvement of the presentation skills of APA's National Speakers Bureau members. For the past five years, Patricia has not only entertained but also dramatically improved the skills of APA members presenting technical topics at workshops, conferences and seminars. Patricia's Points of Wisdom and bringing "Hollywood" to technical presentations has tremendously improved the speakers ability to make technical topics come to life."
—Jim Medlock, CPP Senior Director of Education and Training

"You did it again! Even though you continue to amaze me year after year, I believe one of our Congress participants summed it up best, 'Patricia is always dynamic. Even though she has been speaking for APA for several years, she always manages to bring new experiences and new ideas. Patricia has so many amazing qualities, but one of my favorites is her ability to remember everything that everyone tells her and her special talent of putting a little Hollywood in every presentation. Patricia is a great motivator and really does a fantastic job of getting audience participation. Her own life experience are a great asset to the members of APA.'
Thank you for providing APA's Congress participants with your amazing magical qualities that they come to expect each year. You were truly an important part of making our 18th Annual Congress in Orlando our most successful Congress ever. We look forward to having you as part of our APA family for years to come."
—Dan Maddux, Executive Director (A client since 1986.)
