TESTIMONIALS

“Little did I know that I was born to be an entrepreneur and a powerful leader for thousands of fellow women entrepreneurs. Growing up, I never felt like the corporate life was for me…Everything changed in 2002 when I met Wendy Keller…the speaker I booked to talk at our holiday dinner. I had no idea the profound impact her speech would have on me and the women who gathered to hear her message. Wendy spoke with such passion, conviction, vulnerability and strength that every woman in the hotel ballroom that night had mascara running down her face and turned the tablecloths into tissues to wipe their eyes, myself included.”
       -Christine Kloser, founder of N.E.W. Entrepreneurs, Inc.

“You stole the whole show, I just wanted to tell you that. You were fabulous today. A great and precious speaker.”
       -Cavett Robert, Founder, National Speakers Association

“Hearing you this morning on WKTU really lifted my spirits, because I just got divorced and I have three kids. It seems to me that everyone really wants to see me fail, especially old school thinkers who feel a person has to stay married no matter what…I needed to hear you. Thank you so much.”
       -Donna Iemmiti

“I keep your book by my computer and try to read a story every day…I did not know about the deaths of your children Jeremy and Amelia. My heart knows your pain. I admire you for expressing your grief. I have trouble talking about the loss of my two brothers. I’m afraid I’ll start crying and never stop. Thank you again for sharing your stories.”
       -Angela N., La Jolla

“I just felt compelled to write you about your article. It was so truthful that I had to say “Bravo!” I’m a single mother. I have two children, one of whom is paralyzed by spinal bifida and my husband left shortly after his birth. [He has been no help since so] my trials raising these two children all alone was unbelievable. Raising a child who is paralyzed and had to undergo 17 surgeries before the age of 6 nearly did me in. I had very little education and money and jobs were incredibly tough….Now I feel that leaving their abusive father was still the best thing I could have done for them, in spite of the poverty and shame we have had to endure…I’m proud to say both my children…are finishing college…my daughter is graduating with honors…Bravo for finally speaking the truth.”
       -Jody Jarowey

“I expressed this a bit after you spoke, but I just wanted to write again to let you know how much [your speech] meant to me. Besides being extremely informative, it was a lot of fun, and I honestly could have stayed for several hours longer – painlessly! Your final note brought a tear to my eye – I was touched by your incredible story and reminded of my own trials and tribulations of the past year. Trite as it may sound, your message and encouragement really hit home. Thank you for an enlightening evening!”
       -Janet Grey

“Thank you for your terrific presentation…It was exciting, entertaining and encouraging. I was very touched that you were able to tell us about your survival after the terrible accident and the loss of your children. You are an inspiration to all of us.”
       -Karen Sivy

“I was so moved by your closing story that I just had to stop and write you a personal note. Thank you for sharing your courage, strength and hope with me. I walked into your class carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders, feeling like I’d lost all my confidence. I left feeling like, “YES! I can do this!” I will always remember the woman who said, “Don’t quit!” and all the reasons I believed her.”

       -Sasha (last name not given)

“I am not writing because I am looking for a job or because my brother would be great for your speaker’s bureau, but instead I just wanted to reconnect with you after your seminar in 1993. Do you remember? Anyway, your support and words of encouragement have inspired me for years. Thank you for being a person of great warmth, sincerity and grace.”
       -Debra Fisher-Howles

“It is your qualities of kindness, tenderness and thoughtfulness that strike me most.”
       -Rick Hughes

“I just wanted to thank you so much for a fantastic seminar! I left the seminar feeling energized, inspired, and with a renewed sense of certainty. I can’t believe how much you shared and offered…for this I am so grateful to you! I love your no-nonsense approach coupled with humor. You also radiated such a warm energy. You are an incredible human being.”
