History Books
One of her proudest moments as an agent occurred on 9-12-2001 when she successfully booked Walter Cronkite as a keynote speaker. Noticing his quiet demeanor in the wake of 9-11, the media headline asked, 'Where in the World Is Walter Cronkite?'. As all flights were grounded, Mr. Cronkite was, in fact, on a bus to Ohio to honor his commitment to her client, confirming his status as her favorite speaker of all time. This experience underscored the importance of effective speaker marketing strategies, which she now shares through her professional speaker programs and keynote speaker coaching.
