Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events
Feedback from In-Person Events:
"I have had the idea of Impact, sustainability, and improving our world ever since I started the recycling program in my school in 7th grade. What have I done about it since then? The answer is not enough. It has been on my mind so much lately. So much that I joined my company’s business council and was able to hear our chief social impact officer speak. That got my wheels turning, and then BOOM, I had a session with Courtney and had the privilege of listening to her Keynote at a recent conference. Not only did it stress the importance of this issue to me but inspired me. This inspired me to reach out to my companies Chief Impact Officer to see how I can become more involved and what I can do to make an impact in this space. Courtney is as she claims, engaging, practical, & approachable. She provokes thought on an issue that can not go unaddressed." - Senior Sales Executive, Los Angeles Airport Marriott
