"Anne Merkel provided a session for the Charlotte Chamber’s Leadership School program. We used the program as a wrap up for our sessions, and as an opportunity for our soon-to-be-graduates to determine the next steps they’d like to take in becoming future leaders. The agenda of the morning was truly set by those who participated, as Open Space allowed them to talk about things they wanted to discuss. We not only received very positive feedback from the students who participated in the session, we also had lots of great ideas generated by our students. They are now taking a leadership role in implementing those ideas, in part because they felt that they had ownership in generating them. Anne provided an extremely well-run session that generated lots of great ideas, and left everyone feeling that they had a stake in the program. We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome." - Stacey Corbin Ellis, VP Public Relations, Director of Leadership School, Charlotte Chamber of Commerce

"Great Seminar! Excellent speaker! These are not just my opinions, but those of others as well. Working with you was a pleasure, from the first planning stages, through finalizing the details, to the end result… a great presentation. You knew your topic as well, or better, than any speaker I have heard, and I admire your calmness and ability to speak without notes!"Kathy Finch CPS, VP & Seminar Chair, Professional Secretaries International
