“Patti is a phenomenal speaker - I recently saw her present at a BMA luncheon on the topic of how to maximize your network. She had a great message and a style that captivated the audience. I highly recommend hiring her as a featured speaker or going to see her if you get the chance.”
Brian Lawley, CEO, 280 Group

_We were looking for a speaker to give a substantive, but of course entertaining, presentation at our annual Spring Retreat, and were lucky to find Patti Wilson.  Her 90-minute workshop on “Networking and How to Work a Room” struck the perfect balance for our diverse group of attorneys. 

Despite the different personalities and experiences at our firm, Patti identified those common, but often overlooked, strategies for building and maintaining professional relationships that are the lifeblood of future business.  Her presentation was organized and the materials were professional.

The insights she offered were both practical and based on a career of personal success.  I recommend listening to Patti for anyone looking to do more to help their career than simply wait for new business to walk through the door.
