Testimonial from Junior Achievement National Office

Laura Benjamin presented "Employee Retention: Dare to Be Different!" for Junior Achievement’s National Leadership Conference in San Francisco CA in July 2002. This conference is Junior Achievement’s premiere leadership development forum with attendees ranging from Presidents of Area Offices to mid-management positions.

We set high standards for our facilitators and only select those whose reputations consistently guarantee interactive, engaging, thought-provoking sessions. Our attendees have high expectations, and Laura delivered! Despite her session being held at the end of the day on the last day of the conference, every seat was filled and people stayed through until the end.

Participant feedback was so positive, that Presidents of Area Offices who attended her session asked that we make an exception from our standard practice of only using internal staff for our Regional Training Sessions. As a result of their request, we invited Laura to present "Employee Retention: Dare to be Different" in St. Louis MO, Reno NV, and Orlando FL from October to December 2002. As before, she delivered a highly interactive, engaging, and content-rich program that got rave reviews from our attendees.

We are so confident in Laura’s ability to deliver quality programs that not only inform and educate but also entertain and engage our senior leadership and mid-managers, that we will look for ways to bring her back! She has proven herself to be flexible, reliable, responsive to our needs, and a pleasure to work with. We can count on her to contribute to the level of excellence Junior Achievement provides through educational programs and leadership development initiatives.

Should you consider Laura as a keynote speaker or facilitator for a conference, convention, or leadership development program, please contact me for a personal reference.
