Sharon, thank you for your role in assuring the triumphs of the 54th Annual NC-FBLA State Leadership Conference. As a speaker and a conference leader you inspired both our students and their advisors with your profound subject matter knowledge and leadership. Your experiences prove that mistakes do not necessarily mean defeat and that self confidence and poise can be learned. We are forever grateful for your support.

As the HR Director, it is often difficult to generate an enthusiastic response among the employees to attend a Sexual Harassment and Diversity Training workshop. Of our employee base of 30-, 40-, and 50-somethings, these employees have heard the message many times over that “we are all different and we must all exhibit a tolerant behavior.” Sharon Hill has truly changed our employees’ perceptions of sexual harassment and diversity as it relates in the workplace. Because of her workshop, they seem to actually now understand why this topic is so important… not only in the workplace, but within society.

Sharon, I just wanted to make sure I followed up with you because I really enjoyed our conversations. You really taught me a lot! I went home after the event and bragged to my roommate about all the different things you taught me, like the 2-day follow up rule, the holding of your drink in the left hand so you can greet with you right, and the things you do when you receive a business card. Once again, I really thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. Your advice will truly make me a better person.

It was a pleasure having you aboard and again, thanks!

Though I am sure I do not need to tell you, your presentation at the Business Alliance luncheon was a resounding success - so obvious from the many questions and smiling faces. Great job! Needed and well-received information with a good sprinkle of humor and great delivery. I, and our other attendees, thoroughly enjoyed the program. I know everyone is running around sharing “BMW” and the “b” and “d” finger moves! Thank you so much for sharing such a wealth of information with us.

Wow!!! Was Sharon a great speaker today, or what? The positive buzz and appreciation that filled the room was pretty darn fantastic. Not only that, but her interactive style and question taking really helped us learn more about each other, as well as about etiquette. Thank you very much for this wonderful time had by all of us. We are really appreciative.

Sharon, I selected your book, 35 Tips for Students to Succeed in Corporate America, for my textbook in the School of Communication Arts’ OralCom class. I think the students benefit from the good first-hand advice you offer, and its format is perfect for our curriculum.

Sharon was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. She made every effort to tailor her presentation to our needs. On the evening of our event, Sharon’s etiquette training exceeded everyone’s expectations. We were simply delighted and thoroughly educated. The feedback from students and administrators has been overwhelmingly positive.
