WORDS OF PRAISE

“I brought Kortney in to speak to our chemical plant’s workforce of 114 employees broken into two separate events for our company’s health promotional campaign towards total worker health and healthy eating. Kortney did a great job engaging our diverse audience from operators to administrative employees and contractors. She encouraged participation from our crowd that can become resistant to health-geared topics. Kortney delivered the information via a new approach that was innovative and appealing. Kortney instilled energy, knowledge, and passion into the subject matter. Her unique style to addressing eating habits kept the talk interesting and thought-provoking. She was thorough and well-prepared from the initiation of our working agreement to the outreach survey she organized in advance, getting to know our employees (her audience) to address their needs in her presentation. I received a lot of feedback from our employees and contractors, who appreciated completing the survey beforehand to ensure the presentation addressed their needs. Rather than repeat the same old tired nutrition rhetoric of “eat your vegetables and don’t eat sugar”, she addressed mindfulness and eating habits in an immediately applicable and practical way. I would definitely recommend Kortney as a speaker or presenter to other businesses or organizations.”
