"When
it came to a caregiving presentation, the only name everyone could agree on
was Karen Henderson’s!"
"I
have done many seminars on long term care over the last 5 years. I was
totally floored by your
"On
behalf of our group I want to extend our appreciation to you for your great
presentation. I don’t think I have ever had so many positive remarks about
any speaker before. Sincerely Karen, we were taken with your passion for the
topic. The group felt your discussion was invaluable. I know they will be
after me to ask you again."
"As
a professional, I found Karen’s session on the Twenty Steps to be
invaluable…a great way for us to better learn how to refer our clients to
other much - needed services." "In all (and complete honesty)
you were the highlight of my course last year. Your talk about your Dad, and
the issues related to being a daughter and caregiver left my students (and
myself) spellbound. You said it in a way that they understood,
punctuated with honesty and humour. You can see why I want you back!!"
"Your talk to the Canadian Club was excellent. It met what I figure are the
criteria for a good Canadian Club address: relevant, timely, well organized,
clearly presented by a speaker who knew her subject and had a passionate
interest in communicating her message effectively to her audience."
"I
thought today's seminar was excellent!
You did a fine job of presenting an extremely difficult subject.
Although my parents died when I was quite young, I have an elderly aunt that
will require extended care eventually. I found myself almost in tears
several times. Thank you for addressing a very delicate issue with such
finesse!"
"You had a great talk on Wednesday and you've done a great job at collecting
and organizing your material. I will gladly refer families to your web site and
services. You certainly talk from the 'heart"
"We
were delighted to have you as our first guest speaker for the Lecture Series
on Caregiving. The audience was extremely interested and motivated by your
lecture. You truly reached out to those individuals caring for their aging
parents and provided them with practical solutions to resolve their
problems. Knowing there are no easy answers to these difficult situations,
you were able to inform family members that they have choices and that
options are available."
"Karen makes
a great connection with her audience. She confidently delivers
a very powerful message, while responding with compassion to the individuals
and their situations.
She is a
great speaker!"

"You
inspired me. I don't say that about many presentations, but I expect you have
changed the way I will continue to practice my trade, and deal with my clients."
Karen:
"Your
message yesterday was excellent. I have experienced only a fraction of the
issues you covered, but I recognize the enormity of the problems. I have
some vivid pictures to paint for my clients as we discuss retirement and aging.
If you would, I’d like to get a copy of your presentation, or at a minimum,
the list of resources. At this point, I believe we can never have too many
resources. Again, thanks for your message yesterday. I’m a better-equipped
advisor for having attended."
"I was one of
the attendees at the EPC Course in April 2004 in Toronto. Your presentation was
nothing short of profound. It was very generous of you to share your personal
experience in such a positive way." Dear
Karen;
"I
would like to let you know that I found your presentation to the ADVOCIS group
in Brantford to be very informative, articulate, and enjoyable. Public speaking
is a skill that takes years to perfect and it was clear that you have a very
strong ability to present complicated information in a clear and concise manner!
You speak very clearly, emphatically, and with tremendous confidence. I also
noted your rapport with the audience was very good; you encouraged questions and
interaction which made the presentation very enjoyable. Your information &
related subject matter was very important and I believe there will certainly be
great demand for your time in the near future. I look forward to the chance to
hear another presentation of yours!"
Karen,
"Your
presentations at last week's EPC course in Toronto were very moving and provided
lots of excellent information and resources - thank you! My father, whom I was
very close to, died in July of Parkinson's Disease after battling it for about
10 years. I could relate to many of the experiences you shared with us about you
and your dad and must admit I was close to tears on numerous occasions as so
much sounded familiar. Thank you once again for such an enriching three days." |
