"I did not know how profoundly what Fawn had to say would affect me. Fawn shared her own struggle to believe in herself and follow her dreams. When she spoke of her self-doubts, I heard my own. When she shared of her personal struggles and thoughts of abandoning her dreams, I saw all the false starts I too had experienced. Fawn’s recipe was simple: Go after your dream. Do it no matter who or what holds you back. Do it no matter how much you fear failure or experience it. Keep pursuing it in the face of all the voices inside you and outside you that tell you it’s impossible. What I heard from Fawn both in her presentation and her books was "Die trying. Regret is what happens when we don’t try or believe in ourselves. If its your passion, go after it, what do you have to lose?"

Our evaluations came in with the strongest response we have had from an annual leadership event in the 10 years we’ve had it. You gave our leadership more than inspiration. You gave them something to do, something to act upon. You truly are the best.”

"It is always a challenge to find a speaker who can hold an audience for a full hour, but after you were done, I kept hearing participants wondering why it had to end so soon. They appreciated the content of your presentation because it gave them a formula on how to move forward and take the risks that matter in times that are tough. More than that, our group loved you. It is your ability to mix the leadership lessons you learned as an author with the real-life struggles you experienced in the corporate world that helped them connect so intimately with you."

University Community Hospital is targeting the whole mind, body and soul, and your presentation addressed each of these areas in a way that the audience applied it to their everyday lives. Also, your references to the famous leaders sharing their struggles and fears during their journey of reaching their goals inspired the audience to seek their own dreams."
