Keynote Speaker

"Kit takes us from scholarly research to real-world examples with a sense of humor that helps us believe that the differences between generations are not insurmountable. Kit is brilliant in communicating on the Gen Y topic and her presentation at the college bookstore conference was huge success to a 'standing room only' audience.”

—Paula Haerr, Connect2One, Associate Executive Director, CAMEX Gen Y Session Chair

”Thank you Kit for coming to Cisco to share your insights. Your presentation was a big hit and feedback was extremely positive with attendees noting that it was both informative and entertaining.”

—Jeanette Gibson, Director, Global Social Media, Cisco

”Thank you again for your excellent and highly compelling program. It was a sold-out event and we sold out of your books afterward as well. Among the many compliments, one comment stood out in particular—you presented statistics and research findings but also clear insight into how to use those findings and actually apply them to your own business.

Both your rich content and uplifting presentation style flowed easily as you presented complex material in a thoroughly engaging manner that kept everyone on the edge of their seats — and wanting more when our time was up.

We'd be happy to have you back to the Club for another installment — and I personally got a great deal out of what you had to offer."

—Kevin O'Malley, Chairman, Business and Leadership Forum of the Commonwealth Club of California

"Your presentation was the second highest rated activity of our entire conference! We found your comparative examples to be both entertaining and educational and your presentation style very pleasing."

--Ken McKenzie, Vice President, NARMS International

"Kit's talk at the 2010 National Hardware Show was by far one of the most entertaining and enlightening presentations of the event. Her expert insights into how to reach and relate to consumers were tremendously relevant for the home improvement industry audience and her fun and approachable style was fantastic!"

--Doug Stephens, Session Chair, Founder and President, Retail Prophet

”We are incredibly thrilled to be working with you. Everyone was uniform in their praise of your value. Student comments included: 'It was an amazing day, unforgettable and inspiring. Wonderful insight on our personalities for both professional and personal life. Kit's insights into how one's psychology influences managerial skills and team dynamics were eye-opening.'”

—Stephan Kanlain, Chairperson, Fashion Institute of Technology

"Thank you, Kit, for the excellent keynote presentation. It was obviously well received by the attendees as I saw people furiously taking notes and a lot of heads shaking in agreement to the messages you were sharing. Well done!

---Michelle Gaston, Director, Education and Events, The Association of Horticulture Professionals, 2011 Annual Convention

"Everyone enjoyed your thought-provoking presentation. It was an exploration into consumer behavior and "technovation" delivered with humor and passion." Attendee Justin Purdy commented, "Kit's the best speaker I've seen at the WASSA Conference - and I've been going since the beginning. Very informative and relevant."

---Patrick Reilly, Conference Chair, WASSA Conference

”Your Gen Y talk was very informative and interesting. As expected, once again the evaluations were all very positive and everyone was appreciative of what you had to say. Let me know if you'd consider doing this again next year and thanks again for sharing your expertise with the Stanford community.”

—Mary Foston-English, Stanford University Faculty Staff Help Center

”Your presentation to our licensees and retailers was not only insightful but also illustrated practical examples that demonstrate how marketers of all sizes and in all industries can establish a connection with Gen Y. Many of us walked away with pages of notes and ideas. Within the athletics department we're already discussing and planning ways to implement in the coming year.”

—Renata Hays, Director of Licensing, The University of Oklahoma

"Awesome presentation with lots of great feedback. We really appreciate you directly connecting with the attendees."

Kit was a fabulous addition to our 2009 conference - she is an outstanding speaker who captured the audience and gave the attendees exactly what we look for: important insights that are both relevant and actionable. We will definitely want her back!”

— Joe Skorupa, Editor-in-Chief, RIS News - Cross-Channel Executive Summit

”Kit created for our media marketing department an in-depth analysis of young women that was presented to media planners in a seminar and also in workshops with key customers. Her insights on young women sent the audience back to their offices with new ideas and deeper understanding of the target groups' needs. Not to mention the fact that most of the audience was wiping their eyes remembering their own youth...”
