“Y’all... Theresa Rose is dazzling! I had no doubt this was going to be a fantastic meeting, but we were blown away! If you ever get the opportunity to work with someone as talented as Theresa is at drawing out your magic and gaining clarity around how you serve your audience, do it do it do it.” Kara Kelley, President, National Speakers Association - Austin
“Theresa is amazing! She did an on camera session with our members and had THE most camera shy folks coming completely out of their shell. I highly recommend Theresa’s work - it’s life changing!” Dr. Alisha Franklin, Founder, Hera Hub Temecula
"Theresa brought such a positive light when she entered the room and had a mesmerizing energy from start to finish. She connected with everyone in the room. Our staff is still raving about her appearance, which I equate more to a One Woman Show than a speech." Jaffe Silcott, Deputy Director, Legal Services Alabama

“Throughout the planning process of our annual one-day education conference, iConnect, Theresa showed commitment and enthusiasm for the success of the event, keeping in touch with us frequently and updating us on her progress of connecting with conference presenters and sponsors. Running through the program together she offered useful insight from an emcee’s perspective on how to serve the audience (and our chapters goals) in the most meaningful ways. She was always willing to go the extra mile to help us prepare and contributing marketing content for our social media channels. At the conference, Theresa was there with enthusiasm in the early morning hours with the volunteers, eager to prepare for the day. She asked thoughtful questions, became familiar with the stage and the layout of the building so she could give assistance from the stage, a small detail but vastly critical to the participant’s experience. Before the start of the conference and during the breaks, we often saw her getting to know our participants, dancing, and keeping the energy up. Her gracious and energetic presence carried through to the reception. We very much enjoyed our time working with Theresa and the positive impact she made on our participants’ experience. We highly recommend her as a conference emcee! - Nicole Coon, CMP, VP, Marketing and Communications, MPI-Minnesota
