Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith presented a talk on Sacred Rest: How to Thrive in the midst of COVID as part of an all department Marketing meeting I attended with 120+ of my co-workers. Even though this was a virtual talk, Dr. Dalton-Smith connected with each & every person attending. Not only did the topic resonate on so many levels, the way she shared her research, specific examples & actions was inspiring & informative. The polls added a nice touch to ensure engagement. Our chat feature was alive during the entire talk with comments stating it felt like Dr. Saundra was speaking directly to them personally & knew just how they were feeling. Others said, they wish we had her provide this talk earlier because it was so incredibly needed. The overall feedback was that this was the favorite talk of our day! With respect to the planning in advance of the event, Dr. Dalton-Smith was very collaborative & easy to work with. Her responses were quick & timely. She was even willing to test our Tech in advance & joined early before her time-slot. I would highly recommend Dr. Dalton-Smith as featured speaker for any event. Hopefully in the future we can bring her back for an in-person session!

"We recently had Dr. Saundra present a day-long conference for faith community nurses, chaplains, social workers, counselors, physicians and Stephen Ministers. She was able to explore the holistic definition of brokenness in patients/clients and provide ways to authentically minister to them where they are in their life's journey. She is personable, genuine, Christ-like and a breath of fresh air. Our audience loved the continuing education and new ways to care for the whole person, as well as identify when they as caregivers may be broken. Dr. Saundra provided a morning workshop for women of all ages. The women worked through their own struggles with being a well woman and what God's wants for us as busy women in today's world. The women loved the event and stayed around for fellowship, sharing and praying together."
