"Karel took the time to understand not only the goal of the event, but to also understand who the audience was. By taking that extra step to personalize her presentation, it became much more applicable to everyone there. They could relate to exactly what she was saying and they believed her to be credible. In summarizing the event surveys, Karel scored a 5.0 out of a possible 5 – both in meeting attendee expectations as well as being applicable to each person's individual circumstance. In over 15 years of meeting experience, I've never had a speaker hit such a home run with attendees. She "hit the ball out of the park!"
