Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events
Feedback from In-Person Events:
“Andrea spoke at our Twenty Club members dinner held at Home House and attended by over 100 people. Andrea was the perfect guest and speaker with her fascinating, humble and humorous stories from the start of her career till now, where she has turned her passion for supporting other women into her latest venture, she inspired and entertained us all. She also answered numerous questions and spent time with our guests after speaking which was much appreciated. I have had so many comments from our members and guests who loved hearing her journey and particularly her bravery regarding resigning from her high-profile job and focusing on helping women. In fact, many said they would have loved to hear more about that element of her life, so we may have to get her back! Fun fact - the March dinner historically is the quietest but thanks to Andrea we had a full house.” - Damian, President, The Twenty Club
