You did it again!  And this time, it was midnight!  One thing for sure, the hour didn't lessen the impact of your presentation on teamwork to our third shift employees.  The masterful way you introduced the topic of teamwork to the audience, the key points covered and the interaction you created with our employees was impressive.   I'm still getting compliments about the presentation! 

The feedback we received is becoming the norm when you are speaker ... "Excellent",  "What an authority",  "We're glad she was available".   I feel GE has found the right speaker to meet many of our needs.

Michael Peacock, Manager of Communications, G.E. Consumer Finance

Enthusiastic, highly motivating, very informative, personable and excellent speaker ... we need more instructors and presenters like Donna Satchell.

Gloria J. Baptist, M.A., Education Program Specialist, Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC)

You were an inspiration from the first time we met when you spoke at the Women's Forum.   We are so fortunate you were available for this company-wide conference.   Your session, Are You Ready to Make the Leap, received among the highest marks ... 4.7 in overall evaluation ... 4.9 for Speakers Knowledge of Subject Matter and Speaker Connection with the Audience.  We heartily thank you for your time and participation.  I look forward to our next opportunity to work together.

Bonnie Wilson, Project Coordinator, The Coca-Cola Company

Donna Satchell is an awesome speaker!   Her presentation on customer service was interesting, interactive, informative and high energy.  It reminded us of things we may have forgotten or stopped doing that can make all of the difference in getting the sale or accomplishing our goals!   All of our members raved about Donna's session and want to have her back!

Ruth Harris, Workforce Special Projects Advisor, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

 Past President, Atlanta Chapter  - Society of Government Meeting Professionals

Your classes were lively and hit on the important points of providing our customers with exceptional service and addressing the issues that we are facing today.  You made the classes fun and interesting, involving the employees to maximize the benefits of your subject matter.  I would highly recommend your services to my associates in the tourism business.

Hilda Seymore, Operations Manager, Georgia Department of Travel and Tourism

Donna is a top notch speaker and trainer.  She recently spoke to a group here and the results were phenomenal.  Her presentation was exciting, entertaining and educational.  She immediately captured the audience's attention and kept it.  In a recent survey of our group, Donna's session on customer service was mentioned as a favorite.

Linda Busby, Educational Specialist, Gwinnett Convention & Visitors Bureau

I thoroughly enjoyed the seminar "Just Get Serious - So You Can - Love Living Life".   It was inspirational, motivational, and VERY encouraging. It was awesome way to start the New Year (2010) all in the company of like-minded people. Thanks so much for investing in my life.

Amanda Brathwaite

Donna's training and leadership took a challenging subject and made it palatable.  I appreciate her candor and her enthusiasm for making sure all participants were included and received  the help they needed.   I also appreciate her availability, after the training ended, to answer additional questions and provide additional information.

Tommy Lee Hayes-Brown, Met Life Auto & Home

Thank you for another dynamite presentation  on time management.  Two hours with you seems like 30 minutes.   Your evaluations from the attendees  were overwhelmingly positive.,  So were the comments I received.  I look forward to working with you again next year.

                                                        Linda Busby, Educational Specialist, Gwinnett Convention & Visitors Bureau

Donna Satchell exemplifies what Spelman College expects from its faculty, staff and students, "nothing less than the best."

Toni J. Ireland, Assistant Director - Career Planning & Development, Spelman College

Donna was a speaker for our Career Awareness Program (sponsored by the National Association of University Women).  Not only did, we, the adult love her, the students did too.  Donna makes you believe in yourself.  She is positive and exciting.  The students commented that she was helpful, very interesting, enjoyable, informative and enlightening.  Donna doesn’t see failures as failures, she sees them as opportunities.  I love that kind of thinking.  It’s so inspiring.

I am looking forward to attending some of her seminars.

Virgia Chappell, Beauty Consultant

Your presentation (on customer service) was educational, funny, and one of the most entertaining I've ever heard..  Your use of humor mixed with your real life experiences kept all the attendees glued to your every word.

Kimberley Everett, Public Affairs Officer, Fulton County Government

Donna's vision board class is very empowering.   It’s a life changing experience!

Adrienna Brown

I love Donna Satchell's concise and pragmatic style of coaching.  In my opinion, she is a heart and mind doctor who helps identify the cause of stagnation and prescribes a series of insights in way that encourages a welcomed healing of the soul.  I especially enjoyed Donna’s willingness to offer examples of her own personal and professional growth, as I believe there is an added power in testimony.  In short, I am forever in her debt, as the wisdom she has imparted serves as a powerful and a ready weapon against the challenges of everyday life!

Maxyne C. Rose, Enrollment Advisor, Eastern University

After attending Donna's Vision Board class and follow-up teleclass, it was only a matter of weeks before things in my life began to align with things I placed on my board.  I am so excited each day to see what happens next!  This class has the power to change your life!

Dr. Torri L. Griffin, Life Coach, Relationship Counselor

If you have a vision and you want to see it come to light, take Donna's vision board class. She is motivating, engaging, and brings out the best in you.

Kathy Grant, Aihu Independent Consultant

I attended the Georgia Merit System conference last week and I was inspired.  After listening to you speak, I made up my mind to enroll in Georgia State this Fall.

Rebecca Edmondson, Georgia Technology Authority

I attended the Administrative Professionals Conference at Lake Blackshear where you gave an excellent program.  I just wanted to let you know how much you inspired me.  All the areas that you covered were exactly the things I needed to hear.  I took so many notes, that I felt like I had just taken a crash course or something.  I just wanted to say thank you.   

Serene M. Lloyd, Georgia Department of Community Affairs

Donna makes me feel like charging out to get the ball rolling on doing a better job of promoting myself and creating excellence.

Joanne Simmons

By attending your "Mid-Year Motivation Seminar" I was motivated to release the negative people from my life so I can pursue my dreams and aspirations.  The realization of the impact they can have made me decide  to free up areas of my  life for "positive thinking" so that "actual doing" can now take place.  Thanks Donna for telling it like it is.

Tramunda Hodges

Thank you so much for a great job!  I feel we really achieved the objectives we set out. You are great as a presenter (knowledgeable, professional, engaging) and also great to work with (client oriented and flexible).

Lynn Slavenski, Global Learning & Development, Equifax Inc.

I have heard Donna Satchell speak twice (at Coca-Cola’s Women Forum and Coca-Cola’s Women Leadership Conference).   Each time I walked away energized and excited about using her techniques to accomplish more in my life.  On both occasions, I used the information she presented and I achieved huge successes because of it. 

Donna's desire to help others goes beyond when she is on the platform.  She personally helped me get approval from my manager to attend a 4-day out-of-state seminar that I knew would be of benefit to me and the company.  And it was.  Donna is passionate about motivating and helping individuals by sharing her personal insights that we can use to live outstanding lives!  I look forward to hearing her speak again and again.

Kelli Bateman, Supplier Quality Systems, Coca-Cola North America

Your presentation (The A's of Excellence) was thought-provoking on the most fundamental level.  It created a fresh new passion for excellence.

Charly McCracken, Assurant Solutions

Donna, you are truly gifted at what you do and that's making the topic of personal development fun and easy  for everyone to apply the tools needed.  I can't thank you enough for sharing with us how goal setting can really make a difference in our lives

Sawanda Middleton-Spinks, High School Coordinator for Herzing College

Donna Satchell is the best trainer I have worked with.  She is an excellent presenter, who is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, committed and very creative.  I witnessed firsthand how she made the customer service classes interesting and enjoyable.  I would recommend Donna to any organization looking for top-notch results.

Hyacinth Bryant, Sr. Human Resources Development Manager, City of Atlanta

Donna, you definitely inspire me.  I am taking a Statistics class as part of an undergraduate degree in Psychology, while working full time as an admin assistant. I hate math so I was having trouble staying motivated. I had to prepare for a mid-term exam, but just couldn't bring myself to study.  I would find excuses to do other things. Then one morning, I went to your website for some inspiration and watched your "To Face Reality or Not" and "Success Can Be Yours." I immediately perked up, gained energy and "got started." I wrote my mid-term exam and obtained 83%!  Thank you for your wisdom and your caring words. It helped me to get serious!! - Your Canadian Fan!"

Claire Goddard

I truly enjoyed, as did everyone, your presentation and the energy that you portrayed around customer service.

Diane Alvira, Human Resources, Arlington Department of Health Services

It is impossible  for me to express how much I appreciate your participation in the first Seek Ye First Women’s Conference.  I enjoyed working with you not only because of your wonderful personality and zeal for life, but also because of your professionalism and concern for others.  Your presentation on Just Get Serious About Success™ was thoroughly enjoyed by the ladies who expressed an interest in participating in other programs you will offer in the future.

 Charly McCracken, President, Motivational Pearls Enterprise

Congratulations  on the fantastic presentation you gave at the November 2007 Clemson Women’s Conference.  Your passion, energy and practical advice captured and held the audience’s attention for the entire session. 

When you spoke about success collages and "Just Get Serious"  I was re-energized.  The success collages really hit home.  My best friend died several years ago of cancer.  Collage making was an activity that she and I did every year.  After her death, I had unable to work on my collage until you reminded me of all the benefits of the collage and living life to its full potential.  I started my 2008 collage the evening of your presentation.  You are an excellent speaker and wonderful motivator.   Thank you for a life changing experience.

Jackie Scott, Manager of Financial Reporting, Lodgian, Inc.

You did an awesome job!   What you're doing is great.  I want you to know that you really helped me get back on track.

Tamaria Jackson, Beauty Consultant, Mary Kay Cosmetics

Thank you for a great class.  I learned a lot including the value of the customer relationship.  It is not about me.  It is about understanding and fulfilling the wants and needs of my customers.  I really liked the way you held everyone’s attention and brought people in to participate in the various activities.  I loved the movie about the bus driver.  It was very inspirational and showed me that I have the power to choose my attitude regardless of the circumstances.   I have the power to lift myself up and lift up those around me, including my customers. 

Sylvia Bigazzi, President, Interpreter & Translation Services (ITS)

Your communications presentation really allowed an opportunity for me to critique my current business behaviors.  I always seek ways to "bring out the best" in myself.  This is it!  STARR Consulting and Donna Satchell have the plan to do that.

Janina Walton, Sales Agent Professional, AIG

Hearing Donna speak at Women About Biz, I took careful notes of her success strategy.  At the time I was working at an event ticket agency.  The environment was extremely competitive and in some ways very negative.  I emailed my notes from Donna’s speech to the staff.  Not only did it make a great impact of the entire office, but I received an email from the President of the company thanking me for bringing new life to the office and making a positive impact on his employees.  I still have those notes and refer to them often when I am in a slump and remember Donna's awesome success strategy that will forever keep my life refreshed and new.

E. Owens, Marketing Strategist

Donna’s motivational presentation at the Clemson University’s Conference for Women was outstanding.  Her points will help to guide me out of my comfort zone both at work and at home.  I will use her strategies to become more persistent in my life.

 Tasse Wainwright

Thank you for your excellent facilitation of Exceptional Customer Service delivered to the administrative staff at Cox.  The class was upbeat and thought-provoking.  I loved the way you involved the participants in order to maximize the learning experience.   I know I speak for all the attendees when I say that you did an excellent job of showing us how we impact the company's bottom line and how we can improve the service we deliver to the people we support.

Inez Campbell, Human Resources, Cox Enterprises

Donna covered the fundamentals of public speaking providing opportunities to practice and receive feedback.  Then she took her training program to the next level by sharing nuggets of wisdom that she learned through her years of experience.  Taking her class will make me a better speaker.

Christine Kotula, Kimberly-Clark Corporation

Donna, you are truly priceless.  Because of your speech at the Twinkie Awards, for the first time in my life I am "getting rid of negative people" (even if it is close friends and family).  I have a vision of what I want to achieve and I want to live my best life!  Your speech truly inspired and motivated me. Thank you for helping me start creating that life now!  And thank you for being and living your passion.

Letitia Owens, Executive Producer & Founder, Twinkie Awards

Your presentation (Great Customer Service Begins With Great Attitudes) to our teams started us off with a lot of enthusiasm and energy.  Our teams were engaged and receptive.  You helped us set the bar high for the rest of our customer service training efforts.  Thanks again.

Shawn Whitney, Georgia Technology Authority & Iris McIlvaine, Department of Community Health

Very motivational!  Very professional!   Very enjoyable!  Donna is a dynamic speaker with a powerful message.

Dianne Hargrove, Alabama Power Company

Thank you for the great public speaking program you delivered to my client (Centers for Disease Control).  The specific goal, in addition to helping people gain confidence and expertise when doing presentations, was to help participants make their presentations more engaging for non-technical audiences.  Bob said you and Ginger did this quite successfully and he is confident his department will be more successful as a result of the training.  It’s great to have talented people to facilitate this program for my clients when I am unavailable to be on-site.  I look forward to our working together again when you and I do the program in Baltimore.

Liz Lieberman, Founder, The Bigger Half 

Donna Satchell is an excellent speaker.  I would listen to her any day, even if it is not a topic that I'm interested in.

Marsha Clarke, Account Manager, Acordia Insurance Inc.

I want to thank Ms. Donna Satchell for the outstanding program she delivered on our team building/staff development day.  Ms. Satchell's ability to captivate the audience and her high level of enthusiasm are second to none.  Our facility and staff were impressed with the manner in which she drew everyone into actively participating in her presentation.  We continue to garner positive benefits from the excellent start that her expertise afforded us.  I highly recommend Ms. Donna Satchell to any administrator who is looking for a way to ignite that special spark in their staff or with their community.

Joanne Doute-Cooper, Principal, E.L. Bouie Elementary Theme School

Donna is a greater presenter.  Her time management seminar was very informative and enlightening.

Felicia Clayton, Director of Human Resources, Special Olympics Georgia

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent workshops you have presented at our group meetings.  We get glowing comments about your presentations and regrets that they are not all-day sessions.  You kept the class going with a good blend of insights, thought-provoking facts and stories from your personal experiences.  We look forward to working with you again and again.

Diana Moore, Consultant, Women’s Economic Self-Sufficiency Program

Your presentation (Achieving Workplace Success) was a great eye-opener for me.  Sometimes it takes another person to point out some of the small things you can change that will make a difference in your life.  It is never too late to start learning and seeking knowledge to help your career be the best that it can be.

Kilia Paige, Southern Company

I engaged Donna Satchell to provide time management training for one of my clients.  To sum it up - "she hit the nail on the head".  The content, the pace, the personal stories and the activities were on target.  And the ratings she received from 100% of the participants showed that they shared my sentiments.

Patsi Turner, HR Performance, Inc.

Thank you for your presentation, Exceptional Customer Service.  Your delivery style and preparation showed a thorough command of the subject matter.  The material presented was thought-provoking, informative and eye-opening.  I know that I speak for everyone when I say that I came away much better at dealing with clients and business representatives.  I look forward to furthering the Chamber's relationship with STARR Consulting.

Leonardo V. McClarty, President, DeKalb Chamber of Commerce

Donna Satchell was inspiring with her stories of experience and so much fun to listen to that I would have registered for a second day of the Professional Development Seminar,  if it was available.

Priscilla Day, Southern Company

Thank you for the inspiring "pep" talk you delivered to our staff during what had become a very overwhelming time for us.  You pointed out the very traits that we had started to forget.  You reminded us of our purpose and our love for what we do at DeKalb Alternative School.  Most of all you reminded us of the need to work as a dedicated team, dedicated to the students we serve, as well as dedicated to each other as professionals.  You sent us away with our sense of purpose fresh in our minds.  Your presentation was what we needed to help us get our "renewed attitude".

Jeremiah James, Principal, Dekalb Alternative School

Your presentation was very motivating.   I will use your knowledge and information about maintaining positive customer service in all my business dealings and personal dealings as well.

Rhonda Dunwood, R.O. Dunwood Cosmetology Services

Donna Satchell is a dynamic speaker whose presentation of The Success Formula was motivating and thought-provoking.  She has a gift for being able to engage, educate and energize her audience by utilizing valuable and  useable information, personal insights, music, song titles and creative interaction.   I would recommend Donna's speeches and training programs to any group or organization looking to improve teamwork, customer service as well as personal responsibility and achievement.

Eric Watson, Chairperson -Atlanta Employee Committee - North Metro Center

I know a lot of times people make comments just to be making comments, but not in this case.  I am truly grateful to have shared the stage with you this week (at Motivation Day in the Park).  I think you are so awesome!  I love your delivery and the way you handle the stage with grace.  This is the second time I have watched you present and you are consistent in being the consummate professional who delivers tremendous value.

Chris Gloss, "The Possibilitarian" - Speaker, Trainer, Coach & Author

What a hit your public speaking/presentation classes were for our business.  You certainly impressed our employees with your knowledge.  The handouts reiterating the topic points were great.  Your professionalism, experience with the subject and delivery far exceeded our expectations.  It was truly an enlightening learning experience for all those in attendance.

Michael Peacock, Manager of Communications, GE Consumer Finance

Clear, concise, creative, tremendous take-a-way value, lots of insight, great handouts, interactive, entertaining ... what more can I say!  Others might have taken the topic "Your Money vs. Your Time: A Cost Benefit Analysis" and put their audience to sleep.  Not you.  You gave new insights into this complex topic and taught skills that will allow entrepreneurs to take their business to new levels.  Great job!  We look forward to working with you on future projects.

Rita McMaken, Chairperson-Genius Series, Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce

Ms. Satchell's time management seminar is one of the best I have ever attended.  My productivity has increased and I have removed all unnecessary paperwork from my desk.  I can now focus more on coaching and delegating, whenever necessary.  This seminar also helped me tremendously in organizing my hectic personal life.  I am very pleased with the results.

Dorothy R. Thomas, Account Group Manager, Global Link Logistics

I attended Donna Satchell's public speaking seminar at The Knowledge Shop and it was truly a rewarding and refreshing experience for me.  Ms. Satchell's teaching and coaching techniques enabled me to immediately apply the principles I had learned and they have proven to be invaluable.  I would recommend her training program to anyone looking to develop or improve their public speaking skills.  I know they will benefit as I did.

Cynthia Gray, Global Marketing Event Specialist, Accenture

Your presentation was flawless and the content was right on target.  Having heard you previously at the Student Conference in 2002 (when I was serving as Division President)  you were my first choice as our  presenter for the 2006 Certification & Development Workshop.  Thank you so much for your creative and inspirational presentation.

                                                                          Dot Murphy, CPS/CAP, Past IAAP Georgia Division President, Atlanta Chapter Host Co-Coordinator for 2006 CDW

Donna, you would not believe how many of our members are still talking about how much they enjoyed and learned from  your public speaking program at our Education Explo last October.  With it now being five months later that shows "You were definitely a hit!"  We were amazed at the way you were able to combine the elements of a motivational speech with the techniques you provide in your public speaking training to create an outstanding presentation that was both motivational and educational.  It was better than we could have imagined.  We would love to have you return to be a speaker again in the future.

Elisabeth Fuller, Executive Director, Women In Insurance & Financial Services - Atlanta Chapter

The Renewed Attitude of Teamwork is a great motivational tool for team-building.  Thanks for showing us the difference between a team and a group.

Maria D. Mallory, Administrative Assistant, Georgia Technology Authority

Our staff enjoyed your speech "It's the Small Things that Count".  In developing and customizing your presentation for DeKalb's School Nutrition Program, you showed your dedication to your audience and their needs.  Your positive and enthusiastic approach and delivery to our group exemplifies our belief in customer service and attention to details.  Our mission is to promote lifetime wellness and your presentation reminded us to be role models for our students.

Kathy P. Dailey R.D., DeKalb County School System

Your class was fantastic!   It provided me with many insights on how I can better use my time, what I can do to identify my real goals and how to use time to my advantage.

Ann Koras, Independent Film Producer.

Ms. Satchell conducted a lively, engaging and interactive presentation for the Georgia Department of Labor's professional organization, International Association of Workforce Professionals.  The presentation (Workplace and Personal Success Can Be Yours!) was well-organized and the subject matter proved to be very timely for our 200+ audience.  The session evaluations resulted in an overall rating of excellent.  We would be happy to welcome Ms. Satchell back for future training presentations.  We would recommend her to organizations seeking a high energy, dynamic presenter!

Linda Hensel, Senior Training Coordinator, Georgia Department of Labor

Just wanted to tell you how inspiring your presentation was last evening. I came to work feeling like I can begin again.

Barbara Sutton, Gwinnett Chapter of the IAAP

Our hospital sponsors monthly meetings for a seniors group.  Recently Donna Satchell was invited to be the speaker.  Her presentation about dealing with change and pursuing our dreams was right on!  She understood the group that she was speaking to, chose a topic relevant to their needs and presented it with enthusiasm. I have been coordinating these meetings for three years and I must say that I received more positive feedback about her presentation than any other!  I will definitely ask Donna to return.

Bev Owen, Director of Marketing, Emory-Adventist Hospital

Thank you for helping us grow!  Donna, your life is one of motivation and inspiration to others.  You are an exemplary role model for other women and an excellent presenter. 

Pauline Dailey, President, Hidden Hills Chapter of American Business Women Association

You received rave written and verbal reviews and your presentation (Making The Most of Your 9-To-5) was discussed among attendees for quite some time following the program.  Attendees enjoyed your presentation style and felt that the exercises were very useful, both personally and professionally.  There have been requests for you to return.

Lisa Terry Lewis, Staff Development Coordinator, Georgia Perimeter College

Thank you for the time you spent with the Smyrna Business Association.  I am in sales and have been able to use the information you presented to us in my presentations to business owners and their employees.  Your presentation (Be A Better Communicator) has helped me to better relate to people in my personal and professional life.

Dan Zeckman, District Sales Coordinator, AFLAC

I wanted to let you know how much I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation (The Power of Connections) at the SCORE Conference For Women Business Owners.  You were sharp, focused and had a tremendous rapport going with the audience!  You would have been very pleased to have heard the comments various women made as you spoke.  I look forward to hearing you speak again.

Brenda Young Haithco, President, Haithco & Company Inc.

Don't change one thing!  Donna, you are an excellent speaker and definitely where you should be to "leave an effective footprint" in the world.  Thank you so much for the very positive influence you've made on me today.

                                                                  Ethel B. Ceaser, CPS/CAP, Executive Administrative Assistant to the Dean Rollins School of Public Health of Emory University

I want to express my gratitude for your empowering presentation (The Power of Connections) at the SCORE Conference For Women Business Owners.  Thank you for being not only inspiring, but instrumental as well.  Your message was delivered and received with great purpose and intensity.  Although I was only one of the two men in attendance at the conference, I thought your presentation applied equally to me as well as the women there.  It was a universal message applicable to all.

Morris Roebuck, Handyman of America

Thank you for your participation in The SCORE Conference For Women by opening the day with your energetic session on The Power Of Connections.  We could not have had a better way to launch the day than with your message on the importance of building lasting relationships as well as your closing message on The Three Ss of Success.  Your style is witty, fun, energetic and informative.  The program could not have been as successful without you.

Mary Livingston, President & Event Planner, M. Livingston Group

I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation (The Power of Connections) at the Atlanta Women In Business meeting.  You are an excellent speaker.  Many of your points really made an impact on me.  So much so that I felt the need to follow-up with you.  Your stories and examples truly drove home the point of keeping in contact.  I actually thought of several people that I would like to thank for the impact they've had on my life.  Thanks for a wonderful presentation.

Peg Titus-Hall, President, People Growth LLC

Thank you for an outstanding program on time management.  You provided great exercises, lots to reflect on, excellent materials, practical guidelines and many immediately useful tips.

Millicent St. Claire, President, Mind Masters Institute

Thank you for a job well done!  SATCHELL Principles for Workplace Success rejuvenated not only the student participants but also the staff.  Students were quoted as saying "I liked the fact that she was real; she used real life examples that related to what she was talking about".  "I received many development and improvement skills about working with others and having a plan."  These were just a few of the many positive comments our students shared after participating in the presentation.  We eagerly look forward to working with you again soon.  You are making an awesome impact on the lives of people, young and old!

Damia Bolling, Business Community Liaison, Atlanta Job Corps

Donna Satchell is an exceptional motivational speaker especially in the areas of team solidarity, personal motivation and positive attitudes in the workplace.  I have had the pleasure of attending her workshops on two occasions and have been amazed by the ease in which she delivers her dynamic and persuasive presentations.  She has an inordinate amount of experience in work-related issues and uses her gift of engagement and speaking to captivate and motivate the audience.  I would recommend her highly to any organization striving to improve teamwork and to increase employee morale and motivation.

Veda Johnson, MD, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Emory University School of Medicine

Words cannot express how much you touched the hearts of my co-workers and myself.  We came to the conference with the idea that it would be basic learning and workshops.  But we received so much more.  Your speech (Success Can Be Yours!) about being positive and finding your passion was absolutely wonderful.  It was much more than we could have imagined.  After listening to your speech we were pumped up to go back to our homes and jobs with a new direction and new attitude.  I want to thank you for a great experience.  It will make us all much better people.

Dedrain Franklin, Internal Auditor, Georgia Department of Labor & Member of IAWP

Your presentation, S.A.T.C.H.E.L.L. Principles for Workplace Success, was great and very motivational to the students.  The emphasis you placed on maintaining a positive attitude, having good habits, setting professional and personal goals, developing supportive business relationships and the importance of an education showed the students what it really takes for them to reach their full potential and survive in our competitive society.

Sondra Savage, Professor, DeVry University

Thank you so much for the exciting and dynamic presentation (Renewed Attitude of Teamwork) that you gave at our general employees meeting.  Weeks later, the staff is continuing to talk about how effective and thought-provoking your presentation was.  I personally thank you for the homework that you did in learning about our organization.  You demonstrated teamwork at its best!

Yvette Hagins, Executive Director, Whitefoord Community Program

I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation on customer service.  The statistics and facts you gave were very enlightening as was the information on personality styles.  It is interesting how we know what it's like not to receive great or even good service; however, it's a different story when you realize you are the one not giving it.  You did an excellent job of showing me how I can do better in this area.

Joyce Dawson, Owner - J. Dawson Styles

As I mentioned to you when we met I was extremely nervous about giving a speech at my church.  You assured me that I could do it and you were right!  I found your method of preparing and practicing for a speech to be very logical and easy-to-follow.  The information you provided, along with your encouragement, enthusiasm and positive approach helped me to relax and understand that I could give a winning speech. 

As I told you during our phone conversation my speech was "a mashing success".  Many people commented to me how relaxed I appeared and how good I was.   I cannot thank you enough for the great training and coaching that you provided.  I would recommend you to anyone looking to overcome their public speaking fears and give a great speech!

Paulette Glover

What a neat concept to think of marketing concepts when it comes to ourselves! I would strongly recommend your numerous topics for any group of professional, business people.

Oleta Herron, Chairperson, Cobb County Chapter of IAAP

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.  Your presentation during the "Meet The Pros" session at the National Speakers Association Convention was great.  You are an excellent facilitator ... articulate, organized, knowledgeable, comprehensive with a friendly, supportive demeanor.  I learned a lot for your presentation (You Are Getting Started As a Speaker, So What Should You Do?).  Particularly useful are your worksheets for stories, pre-presentation questionnaire and self-evaluation form.  The only thing lacking was time ... I wish your session was longer.

David Ruef, President, David Ruef & Associates

I attended Ms. Satchell's public speaking workshop expecting a cursory review of the subject.  I was completely surprised to be presented with a thorough review of all the critical steps in the process.  I learned that the steps leading up to the actual presentation are as important as the actual delivery.  I am eager to attend a more advanced seminar with her to take my skills to the next level.  Her workshop is great for the novice and as a review for people with some public speaking experience.

Frenesa K. Hall, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Mobile-Medicine

Donna, you put the icing on the cake for the Income Stream Experience.  Wow ... what a great presentation!  A million thanks to you.  I look forward to us working together again.

Marsha Holden, Holden Communications Resources

Your public speaking workshop was excellent.  The information you presented on speech presentation and delivery was extremely valuable.  Although I have over 20 years of experience in the field, I was still able to pick up numerous tips that will prove helpful to me in the future.  I recommend your training and coaching to anyone who is looking to improve their skills in public speaking.  They would definitely benefit from your knowledge and experience.

Dr. Joel Teal, International Seminar Leader & Consultant

S.A.T.C.H.E.L.L. Principles for Workplace Success is a great tool for us to better improve our workplace attitude - among other things.  You gave everyone "food for thought" as far as their career and personal goals are concerned.  All of us thought your presentation was entertaining and inspiring, and we look forward to having you back to empower our employees.

Debra Gatlin , Lockheed Martin Information Technology

Your seminar on "How To Improve Your Communication Skills & Your Public Speaking Skills" truly prepared the students for the great celebration program which they conducted.  As you know, one of our students now wants to pursue being a speaker as a direct result of your workshop.  Please know that you definitely made a tremendous positive impact in the lives of the youth in this program.

Carolyn Hartfield, Program Director, Survival Skills Youth Training Program

You made such a difference in moral and motivation.  We are still talking about how you have given us the incentive and direction our office team was looking for.  Your clear, concise, inspiring personal stories were so well targeted to our group that we all left with assignments of what we need to do to move forward in our careers.

Jimmie Minor, Renaissance Pine Isle Resort

I heard many outstanding comments from attendees at your session, S.A.T.C.H.E.L.L. Principles For Workplace Success.  You increased our awareness of the need for and the paths to success in the workplace.  Your presentation was full of valuable insights and tips that each of us can utilize immediately.

Mary K. Robinson, Ph.D., Chair of Workshop Committee - Region IV, Blacks In Government

Donna Satchell gave an excellent presentation on communication skills to the corporate training group of the Atlanta Chapter of American Society For Training & Development (ASTD).  Her enthusiasm engaged the audience, as did her personable style and strong presentation skills.  The attendees benefited greatly from her insights, examples and helpful tips.   We look forward to her speaking at future meetings.

As one who attends many IAAP meetings and functions, rarely am I engulfed in a presentation as I was last evening. Your speech on “Making The Most of Your 9-To-5” was superbly presented and very informative.  You confirmed the fact that I must focus and reach other goals that are awaiting me.

"The SUCCESS Formula" presented at the Georgia Division IAAP Student Conference was a hit with everyone.  The subject matter was delivered in a way that was helpful and timely for both student and professional attendees.  Donna's lively presentation held everyone's interest for entire time.  Don't hesitate to invite Donna to speak to your group --- everyone will be glad that you did!

Thank you for your presentation of "Life Lessons Learned in Corporate America".  Sharing your personal accomplishments with us was inspiring.  You brought ideas to our minds and gave us the self-confidence to achieve our goals.  I know several people who are going to take back to the office what you shared with newly found confidence to make those ideas work for them.

Judy Emely, President, Orlando Chapter of IAAP

Your breakout session was excellent (Conquering Your Public Speaking Fears).  The session received 4.9 out of 5.0 for content and 4.9 out of 5.0 for presentation and speaker.  All comments on the evaluations were glowing.  We exceeded the expectations of the participants.

Your presentation (The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Formula) was well received by our women's group and your enthusiasm truly motivated our members to follow their dreams. They walked away from the workshop more informed and excited about the future.

The students were mesmerized by your speech.  The career advice you gave was well received.  The students expressed in their evaluations that they wished you had more time to speak.  We would love to have you return for a longer encore performance.
