TESTIMONIALS:

"Cecilia was the keynote speaker for our Linc Event. From the very first conversation I had with her, I could tell that she was insightful, compassionate, humorous and very business savvy; I knew she would be the perfect person to energize, motivate, and get our associates excited. During the session she not only explained the importance of relationship-building in an engaging and humorous way, she also included interactive exercises to give the audience an opportunity to start putting the techniques into practice. This was probably one of the best women's Linc events to date; people were totally engaged, laughed often, and enjoyed getting to know each other on a deeper level. We have received rave reviews from associates; in fact, people have asked when she will come back again.

Cecilia exceeded my expectations and I HIGHLY recommend her!"

~ Nona J. Austin-King – Senior Marketing Manager, Innovation, The Coca-Cola Company

"Cecilia is a superstar! She is a humorous and engaging speaker. Her business savvy and insight allow her to be of particular value to companies going through change. She is always appreciated and in demand.

Cecilia has an infectious energy and a passion for the journey of life which she draws upon to bring out the best in her audiences as she takes them through the "next door" of their lives. She is witty and often unapologetically direct as she enlightens and energizes her audiences. These skills are evident for anyone who has ever heard her speak. I would highly recommend Cecilia for your conference."

~ Shell Oil Company

"Cecilia Rose was a key speaker at my extended leadership conference in Doonbeg, Ireland. She was focused, brought great motivation and left with many of my international leaders asking if they could continue with private coaching after the conference. Her out of the box ideas matched with a dynamic and caring personality are a rare commodity."

~ Jim O'Brien, Group Head of Audit – BP UK

"Cecilia A. Rose proved she is the reigning evangelist of how to embrace change with her bright up-tempo presentation of ideas and excellent content for "Success Through Motivation." Ms. Rose is tiny but tough; a preacher of the basics of merchandising and salesmanship but with an energetic, improvisational performance that is entertaining and impressive."

~20/20 Magazine

"Our special thanks go to Cecilia for presenting an outstanding program that not only effectively explains the pain people encounter when going through change, but also and quite clearly, imparts a high degree of motivation and enthusiasm for a professional approach to change management. Her demonstrative evangelistic fervor for helping professional change agents in organizations achieve success amidst the complexity and ever-changing business landscape is outstanding."
