Kind Words from Event Planners and Participants

""Peggy was a guest speaker for an executive networking group that I run. She presented on the subject of gratitude to over 120 executives and senior executives and the feedback was outstanding. Not only did attendees appreciate the material, including research-based findings and strategies for enhancing your mindset, but they also appreciated her style of delivery. She was organized and yet flexible; professional yet friendly and approachable. This is a weekly meeting that I have run for several years, and many people called it the best program we've had. I'm so thankful to Peggy for the quality of her presentation.""
JOHN MADIGAN, PRESIDENT AND CEO AT EXECUTIVE TALENT SERVICES
""In a casual way we all know about gratitude - we see it on signs, in messaging, etc. But what Peggy has done is to delve deeply into what it really is, and she provides different ways to look at it that I don't think we normally consider. That's what’s so interesting about her presentation. I think when you can present a topic and have people walk away feeling impacted, then it's time to ‘drop the mic’ and enjoy the rest of the day.""
DAVID SHULTIS, PRODUCT MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING PROFESSIONAL
"“That was SUCH a great workshop, I got everything I wanted out of it and more. Thank you so much for organizing such an inspiring speaker!!”"

Nothing but kudos and plaudits for a simple message that we all need to remember and utilize in our daily lives. If you are thinking about having Dr. DeLong as a guest speaker, don't think any longer. Just do it. You will not be disappointed.”"

"“Over the last several months, we have been intentional with our leaders sharing our organization’s core values – Genuine Passion & Genuine Gratitude. We invited Dr. Peggy DeLong to present on gratitude in our Energy & Time Management session of our Leadership Development program. We could not have asked for a better speaker to set the tone of our two-day leadership session. Dr. Peggy’s message was heartfelt and inspiring to everyone in the room. The exercises of gratitude were well explained, and our leaders walked away with practical tips on how to apply gratitude more consistently into their daily routines. It is energizing to show gratitude towards others and be intentional with how you will approach the day. Dr. Peggy was a clear favorite from this leadership session!”"
TERESA KING, CHIEF HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICER, GOOSENECK IMPLEMENT

"I attended an interactive presentation on Finding Joy and Cultivating Happiness in Everyday Living. I found that Dr. Peggy was able to create a comfortable environment for tapping into some uncomfortable yet common struggles that most of us remain silent about. Dr. Peggy offers clarity and the tools to help you free yourself from the quicksand that may be pulling you down. I walked away feeling encouraged that I would be able to use these tools to make some desired changes for myself."
