  • "Your presentation made our event one of the most enjoyable, hilarious and entertaining since we began these retreats seven years ago."
    Brad Brookshire, President, Brookshire Grocery Co.

    "You had the audience sitting on the edge of their seats attending to your speech at one moment and then holding their sides and catching their breath from laughter at the next."
    Jamie Van Dycke, President-Elect, Oklahoma Federation of the Council for Exceptional Children

    "You have a great approach that gets across that change should be expected and not feared. The auditors are still marveling at the information recall you demonstrated in mentioning surprise details about all 70 at the meeting."
    Doug Guerro, Director, Corporate Audit, EDS

    "Her involvement was the best investment I have made with my sales team in 10 years. She not only re-capped every aspect of a very long three-day conference, but also discretely “roasted” the top leadership, sending us off with enthusiasm, renewed vision and warm hearts toward one another."
    David Beavers, National Marketing Director, National Safety Associates

    "Sally has a rare talent to dig quickly and deeply into the soul of a company, then incorporate her findings into meaningful insights that enlighten and entertain. We called Sally when we needed to deliver critical information regarding our company reorganization; our employees left feeling good about themselves and the company."
    Joanie Schultz, Director, Human Resources, Fujitsu Technology Solutions

    "The homework you did to customize your program to our needs was impressive. Your ability to take information about our staff and incorporate them into “Ida Mae” brought a personal touch to the program, and everyone is still wondering how you knew so much about the individual, and even more so, how you remembered all the small details."
    Stan Ivie, Deputy Director, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

    "We expect a professional speaker to plan and execute a speech flawlessly. It’s quite another thing to discover that Sally has mastered the art of ad-libbing after listening to the speakers for the first time that day, successfully fooling participants about who she was, and leaving the audience roaring as they listened to her recap of the day and friendly spoofs of prior speakers."
    Paula Roman, Executive Director, Collin County Community College District Foundation

    "You did a great job presenting our theme on customer service and helping us accomplish our objectives. I’m not sure how you capture an audience at 7:30am but we are still smiling."
    Linda Broome, Human Resource Manager, Business Interiors

    "Our staff sent me thank you notes describing your session as one of the best or THE best staff development sessions they have ever attended. I honestly have never attended a better session on the topic."
    Sue Sherbet, Director, University of Texas at Dallas Career Center

    "'Ida Mae' was the highest evaluated presentor of our entire National Swim School Spring Conference. Most comments were “I have never laughed so hard.” We are proposing to our Board to hire you for our annual conference. Our jobs are too stressful not to do therapy with Ida Mae again."
    Jan Emler, Chairperson, NSSA Spring Conference

    "Warm, funny and thought provoking, Sally has our diverse group of employees’ undivided attention from the very beginning. In addition to making us laugh out loud, Sally also made us think of the importance of using humor for our health and well-being."
    Katherine Bowling, Executive Secretary to the City Manager

    "I strongly suggest theatrical performing as your next career; such a talent should not be wasted in an office environment."
    Michael Wiley, President & CEO, Atlantic Richfield

    "Our employees are still wondering how you could remember all 50 of their names and something unique about each one of them."
    H. G. Leffler, President & CEO, Arlington National Bank

    "Everyone was finishing their dinner when Ida Mae came barging in the door and did she take over. I sat in wonderment as she called everyone’s name along with an interesting story of something they had done. I had an unbelievable time enjoying great humor that was as wholesome as the day is long."
    Bob Jeffus, Regional Vice President, A Major Insurance Company

    "You have such a gift of relating to everyday people in everyday situations and we were all touched in one way or another. I believe all 500 attendees left the meeting feeling a bit lighter with regard to various circumstances they might be facing in their lives. As the meeting planner, I also want to say thanks for making my meeting stress free! I don't recall other speakers being so self sufficient in taking care of themselves from beginning to end. I hope to have you back as Ida Mae in the future."
    Sheryl Camp, Meetings Director, Atlanta Apartment Association

    "Your presentation was listed as one of the Convention's educational highlights by many attendees. Your contribution to our goal of providing high quality education to the long term care profession is greatly appreciated."
    H.Allison Dew, Director of Education and Membership Services, North Carolina Health Care Facilities Associationk
