"Venus was so kind and generous with her time. She was very positive and encouraging—and her talk was especially important for students to hear. I have never had so many students (college and high school) in attendance at one of these lectures—that is huge! Everyone loved her!"

"[We] loved having Venus, as well as working with HWA and Venus’ team. The planning and content review process leading up to the event itself went as seamlessly as possible, and owe a thank you to HWA for your part in that. We also felt that Venus demonstrated enthusiasm and tactful skill in answering the facilitator’s questions, as well as offered wonderful stories and relevant nuggets of wisdom around being proactive when it comes to mental health, trusting the process with wins/losses and setting the tone for equity for women in the workplace. We were thrilled to work with Venus and truly appreciate your partnership on the event!"
