I looked around at the audience during your presentation, and you had every single person making direct eye contact and hanging onto every word you were imparting. That is hard to do! Thanks for making us all better.

I loved your presentation at the AOA Annual Conference in Sacramento, and I wish I had attended both of your sessions. I actually sat in the room next to yours during your first presentation and could hear the laughter through the walls! I had to check it out the following day. I am so glad I did.

Tailoring the class exercises to the writing that we routinely perform made the training even more meaningful. I have noticed several examples of clearer and more concise letters, email notes, and reports in the few weeks since the classes took place.

Mandi Stanley is a brilliant, dynamic, and experienced ball of energy. Her presentations are unparalleled to others on this topic. DDS was fortunate to schedule Mandi to present, even more so due to the pandemic. More than 100 participants attended, with many claiming, ‘By far one of the best trainings I’ve ever attended!’ Her knowledge of the topic provided us with a solid understanding of what we needed to do or change to Write It So They Read It. I highly and eagerly recommend everyone to take advantage of her experience. Run—don’t walk—to take advantage of this opportunity.

Thank you so much for your contribution to our annual client event. I cannot tell you the number of times your name has been mentioned as we have prepared for various formal and informal speaking events. Not to mention, we would not dare travel to a speaking engagement without The No-Panic Plan for Presenters close at hand.
