Sue's presentation was an outstanding story where we share the excitement of her journey to the summit and how this experience is related with our business, specifically in terms of setting goals and teamwork. Sue performed flawlessly and the team was pleased and really motivated by this absolutely great keynote. She is truly an inspiration for all of us!

Susan, thank you for the fabulous presentation you delivered to our West Region team in Orlando. The audience of 600 attendees was thrilled with the tales of your quest to complete the Seven Summits. Furthermore, your ability to relate the challenges, risks, and rewards of climbing to the business world were invaluable. As we set out to reach new peaks as a team in 2004, we will reflect upon your words of encouragement and structured approach to reaching our goals. Thank you again for the value you provided to our team.

We are pleased to say that Susan exceeded our expectations and provided an excellent presentation. Susan's discussion on the Seven Summit experience, culminating with climbing Mt. Everest, was presented in a fashion of setting a seemingly impossible vision and then breaking down the task into manageable steps and activities. Susan integrated the highs and lows of making progress and experiencing setbacks and rewarding experience of maintaining focus on your goals, hard work and perseverance. The feedback from our customers was over-whelming positive citing both an entertaining and aspiration experience. From our perspective, Susan exceeded what we expected — being able to kickoff our global customer symposium by drawing the connection of Survival of the Fittest with industry challenges and strategic objectives. Susan has the highest recommendation from us and would be expected to deliver an excellent presentation for future events.

The focus of our meeting was geared to revisiting our goals. I chose Susan to be our keynote speaker for several reasons. Her recent Mt. Everest accomplishment would be very appealing to my entire staff and she is a very effective businesswoman with great communication skills. I wanted my staff to hear her story of what it took in terms of goal setting preparation, follow through and discipline in order for her to reach the summit of Mt. Everest.

Susan did a great job in her presentation of drawing the parallels of what it took for her to be successful in her climbing and relating it back to the successes in her business life. Her presentation was extremely well received by our management team and my entire staff. It was very beneficial as she took them through her goal setting process, gave them a good idea of the discipline in training required and perhaps the most important part was her determination.

Thank you so much for coming to our meeting and inspiring us all to focus on our goals and not quit. I have had such great feedback from everyone and it has quickly spread around to other teams within the organization. Little did we know how timely your talk would be in assisting us in staying focused on our plans as New York is under this terrible threat.

Sue received one of the highest scores ever as our keynote speaker. We would have wanted nothing to be different. Perfect mix of business and her experience on the mountain and incredible photos. Audience so engaged throughout, no talking even in the back, unusual and a very good sign!

Other comments from audience participants: "The speaker was awesome. Great, applicable lessons. Speaker was very energetic and thought provoking. I really enjoyed the guest speaker, great inspiration and linkage to our goal and vision. Great guest speaker, she provided an excellent strategic vision personally and professionally. Great ending, let's have more of these presenters, she was on the mark and relevant. Loved inspirational speaker. The guest speaker delivered an excellent message to seek out and succeed with your team. Excellent guest speaker, inspiring, motivational and relevant.

Your presentation was absolutely fantastic and you made a lot of friends in Olympia. On a personal level, I have to tell you that you really made my day as program chair because I have been receiving compliment after compliment about what a great program I secured.

Thank you again for coming to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. It was a wonderful experience for all of us to hear your stories and adventures in conquering the Seven Summits. We had a very special evening. Thank you so much for joining us.

Sue's presentation was a breath taking story of the conquest and beauty of extreme conditions and determination, but more importantly, an inspiring example of reliance on each other as partners, to train, trust and work together and sharing both strength and wisdom to create success.

Climbing Mt. Everest seems like a feat for rough and rugged mountain men, but Sue Ershler dispels that myth the minute you see her. It seems that her tiny stature would blow off the mountain if not roped up, but Sue is as strong and tough as any mountain man is! Her story is filled with trials and triumphs, and throughout her presentation Sue's positive, "can-do" attitude comes through. Her love of life and adventure shines through her words and pictures. She truly inspires others to live life to the fullest!

I have seen many presentations over the years, both motivational and business related. This was the best of both worlds. It was truly a great experience for all in attendance.

Spellbinding, it was as if you were right there with Sue and Phil.

You were fantastic! Your remarks and presentation style were on target for the annual national gathering of WIN members. And, a special thanks for taking the initiative to spend time with WIN members at the meeting to learn more about them and the WIN network. I hope that there will be other opportunities for you to speak at WIN meetings.

Your session was extremely well received and we really appreciate the time you invested with the evening dinner and ceremonies. The main messages of your presentation did resonate with the team and they all expressed their admiration for your accomplishments and the parallels to our own lives.

Thanks again for joining us at our Sales Kickoff Meeting. Your presentation was so inspirational and extremely well received. Everyone I talked to said it was clearly one of the highlights of the conference. I also really appreciate you staying for dinner and mingling with the team.

We were so happy you spoke for us and were such a success. Your ratings from the evaluations were through the roof.

I want to thank you for putting us in touch with Sue Ershler for our 2005 Inventor Recognition Program. Sue's presentation, without question, was the highlight of the evening. I have heard from several attendees who have expressed their fascination with Sue's engrossing stories about her accomplishments in the mountain climbing. In addition, Sue's warm and easy-going personality allowed her to engage with individuals before and after her program. That effort also left lasting impressions with many people. I was both touched and moved by Sue and her presentation. I strongly recommend Sue to all of your clients and encourage you put them in touch with her... they will certainly enjoy a most fascinating individual.

Susan/Phil, I want to thank you again for speaking at our summer board retreat. I've just completed the evaluations and many of our guests indicated that one of the things they most enjoyed was your presentation and Q&A. If you ever need a recommendation for future speaking engagements, please put me on your list. I'd be happy to share our experience with others.

Sue, you did a great job with the presentation. It was focused, interesting and motivating. We did a survey of the leads (about 11 people) that attended the session — several people said it was the best part of the 3 day kickoff. Thank you again. If you ever need a reference, let me know.
