Brian Levy
Goal Line Football NFL Coaches Conference - CEO
“Patricia Stark did a phenomenal job presenting to our NFL and College Coach clients at our Goal Line Coaches workshop in Miami. She was extremely well prepared and was clearly focused on understanding who the crowd would be and what, specifically, would best resonate with them. Prior to the event, she scheduled multiple Zoom prep conversations with me to perfect her content. She was perfect. Her presentation was compelling and topical to what my clients needed to see. There was further, more personal conversation, with our clients the following day. She hosted an intimate roundtable discussion with select clients. It was extremely helpful and the feedback was unanimously positive. I would confidently recommend Patricia Stark as a featured speaker at any leadership or communication based seminar. The best!”

Onward to Opportunity - Program Manager Institute for Veterans & Military Families
“Patricia presented a Calmfidence® keynote to our active duty service members who had honorably served their nation and were now transitioning back to civilian life. In preparation for the event, Patricia listened intently as my colleagues and I explained our Onward to Opportunity program and its intent and the challenges that this particular group can face in their transition, and then proceeded to ask us extremely intelligent and incisive questions to bolster her knowledge about our program and participants. She worked diligently on her presentation and even sat in on an earlier presentation the same day to get the message just right for our audience. Her presentation was dynamic, informative, and met with universal acclaim by our participants, with many expressing their appreciation and providing feedback on the power of her positive message, and her professionalism and elegance in presentation. I would warmly welcome Patricia back any time.”
