Testimonials (2)
Terry Stacey, Economic Development Director | City of Fort Saskatchewan
Charmaine: On behalf of our Women in Business committee and all the attendees thank you for your fabulous presentation – Networking to the Rescue. It was interactive, enlightening, inspiring and exactly what we were looking for. Even though it was last April that you were here, I still have women that attended talking about it. The knowledge and professionalism that you bring is second to none. I know our committee will be looking at ways to utilize you and your talents at future events.
Rhonda Barraclough, Executive Director | AASCF
Ms Hammond received excellent evaluations on her sessions and many of those same people returned to attend a follow up sessions we offered months later. In all cases Ms Hammond presented relevant, well research and thought-out material that was targeted for the audience she was presenting to. It is not always easy to speak to a group of not-for-profit agency representatives. This sector does not follow usual business practices of profit and loss and it does take an understanding of the sector to be able to discuss business values, and return within the confines of the sector. Ms Hammond was able to tailor her sessions to the audience. The audience appreciated her candor and scope of expertise. Ms Hammond has been a pleasure to work with.
