"I've had the good fortune to hear Stacy Cordery speak in public on a number of occasions. She is present, well-prepared, witty, at times funny, insightful, forceful, and accessible...It's hard to say whether she is better in her "formal" remarks on in Q&A. But in Q&A she has precisely the qualities one seeks: she listens carefully to the question and answers it fully but succinctly, and always in such a way that the person who asked the question leaves feeling that s/he has been listened to and responded to with care. She feels passionate about ideas--the audience feels this--but she never overwhelms her audience or speaks over their heads...The first requisite of public speaking, in my view, is being completely prepared. Stacy Cordery is always completely in command of her talk. It shows. The audience feels her preparation and her integrity. She's the kind of speaker who gets asked back to the same venue year after year."

"Stacy Cordery is not only a great writer but also a dynamic, engaging storyteller who weaves a tale that has listeners hanging on her every word--and has the data and facts to back it all up. She connects and engages with her audience through her easy style, wit, and enthusiasm coupled with her extensive knowledge about the subjects of her talks. Her lectures are compelling and inspiring and bring the people and issues she is discussing to life."
