“Sandy breathes excitement and empowerment as she had our guests walking away truly reflecting on her powerful message.

Our conference was held at the TELUS head office to a sold-out crowd and broadcasted live across the country. TELUS would love to have her keynote again as she was instrumental to the event’s success.”

– P. MANIANIS, TELUS

"Sandy ‘saved’ my conference.

I had a late cancellation and in 24 hours Sandy prepared and delivered a keynote which received great feedback from the audience. Sandy is a true professional; bright, results driven and positive even under extreme stress. I highly recommend Sandy.”

~ L. Svanberg, Canadian Internet Marketing Conference

"Her presentation was informative, energetic, and filled with tips and learning the members could use immediately

We selected Sandy Gerber to present to our hundreds of members as her expertise and passion for communication is remarkable. The members were ignited to work on their communication skills from the presentation. I would not hesitate to have Sandy back as a speaker for our organization.”

~ M. Bartolotti, International Association of Women

“Sandy Gerber is such a dynamic and engaging speaker

We were thrilled we could have her on our stage for our annual Women of Worth event. Her keynote presentation “Magnetic Communication” delivered practical insight, humorous storytelling and left the audience wanting more. Sandy’s passion, expertise and energy are infectious, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her back for future events.”

~ C. Awram, Women of Worth 

“Sandy created and delivered effective communication skills training to our entire team.

For the first time in my 20+ years with the organization, people knew what to say to make us stand apart and most importantly, how to say it to be effective in the sales and customer service process. Amazingly, we were able to use these skills in our personal relationships too!”

– M. BORSOI, St. John Ambulance

"As the featured speaker, Sandy was energetic, fun, engaging and inspiring

We contracted Sandy Gerber to help strengthen our BC Account Manager’s sales acumen during our Sales Retreat.   Her presentation was filled with practical tips and lacked much of the unsubstantiated hype and catch phrases that too often accompanies sales training.

~ C. Letawsky, Rogers Radio

"Sandy brought the perfect mix of humour, heart, energy

and practical tools to our team of Early Childhood Educators for a professional development day. Not only was the session highly engaging (we were laughing and learning the whole way through), our team walked away with real strategies they could use immediately to better connect and communicate with their co-workers, children in their classrooms, parents of the children in their classrooms, and their own family and friends. Sandy has a gift for making people feel seen, comfortable and inspired—our team is still talking about the Emotional Magnets!”

~ Jamie F., Supervisor, Butterfly Learning Centre

 

"We couldn't have been happier!

We hired Sandy because our team told us they really wanted to strengthen their communication skills. She delivered an engaging session that hit the mark. The feedback from our team was unanimous: Sandy’s talk was relatable, memorable, and packed with valuable takeaways they could use right away at work and in life

~ Katherine K., Learning & Talent Development Specialist, QUALICO

We don’t just wake up one day and decide to ruin the romantic love in our relationships. No, it’s a process…it happens over time… recategorizing the ador-able’s into annoy-able’s without stopping to consider the consequences. We need to learn to “Label with Care”.
