Testimonials

Simon Sinek is the WHY, Kate is the WOW! She crushes showing you how to nail your personal brand.

– DJ Maloof, Meeting Planner

In 30 years of conferences, I’ve only seen one panel run well. Kate masterfully extracted the panelists’ insights. I highly recommend her for any panel for any conference.

– Stephen Shapiro, Hall of Fame Speaker & Author

I knew Kate was a powerhouse but seeing her in person was just WOW! Kate did the luncheon keynote at our annual Hawaii Association of Broadcasters convention – a speaking position we are very careful about how we book – and she more than nailed it. Her energy, enthusiasm and story-telling skills are impressive. The audience loved her and kept talking throughout the afternoon about how much they enjoyed their time with her. One of our radio station attendees already interviewed Kate on their station! Thank you for bringing your A-game, Kate…and making me look good to my members! Way to deliver!

– Jamie-Hartnett, Executive Director, Hawaii Association of Broadcasters

I am still flying high off the adrenaline boost I got from Kate Delaney. She was simply amazing. I would recommend her to anyone holding a conference.

– Kathy Tuminello, Vice Chair for the Louisiana Support Staff Associations of Libraries

Kate was a dynamic emcee for our Taste for Dallas Sports Extravaganza. She kept the pace moving so our events; Silent and Live Auctions of Sports Memorabilia and other related items, created the maximum amount of excitement and purchasing. We achieved our fundraising goals and are now able to help our Charities benefitting so many in Dallas. Thanks Kate for making our event successful!

– Ralph Byerly

Kate Delaney has cornered the market in a way that I don’t see anyone else touching. She is a woman in a very male dominated field, sports, and does her work with authority and commands respect. Kate stands out with her confidence and her knowledge, but most important her insight. The beauty of Kate is that as a speaker, she’s a role model and inspiration to anyone who wants to break conventional roles. She has credibility with any audience. I am a huge fan.

– Lance Allred, Former NBA Player, Author and Speaker

Kate Delaney is a dynamic go-getter who can help you find the invaluable WOW. Kate’s help was instrumental in shaping my speeches from a technical format into something any audience would enjoy.

Kate’s delivery is dynamic as she traverses her audience, seeking the right moment to deliver the lesson which exemplifies her experience in sports with world class interviewing techniques. If you have a chance to see Katie just go.
