Courtney’s enthusiasm made a big impact on the audience.  She was able to reach everyone in the room in a way that really helped us reflect and look at our own lives to see the things we should be doing but have consistently put off for no real reason.  She said, “…if we don’t change, nothing changes.”  As simple as it sounds, it was a good reminder to seize the day and to realize that the best time to do something is right now.

I had the privilege of hiring Courtney Ramsey as a leadership skills speaker for the Carolinas Chapter of CMAA.  Her interactive presentation was nothing short of outstanding!  Her ability to captivate the audience was truly impressive. She presented practical strategies that our members could immediately implement in the respective club management roles.  Her insights on fostering collaboration and communication across teams were invaluable, and the interactive exercises she incorporated kept everyone engaged and eager to participate.  The session on delegation was a game changer for our members. Courtney addressed common challenges faced by club managers when it come to entrusting tasks to others on the team.  Our members left the presentation with a sense of confidence in their delegation abilities.  She even follow up with a digital worksheet to help us outline our delegation tasks with our teams.

I had the pleasure to work with Courtney and team, who professionally facilitated a team building meeting between Airport Dimensions and one of our key partners.

Bringing two companies together who have unique cultures and perspectives might be a challenging meeting for some, but not Courtney.

Her facilitation style is smart, insightful and light-hearted, allowing her to capture high levels of engagement throughout the entire meeting. In a post-meeting survey, attendees were asked about what they enjoyed most. It was no surprise to read multiple comments noting “the facilitators were great.” I highly recommend Courtney and her extended team as a speaker and professional meeting facilitator!

Courtney was a keynote speaker at the Wallick Communities Annual Learning Event in October 2021. Her session was outstanding! Courtney delivered very meaningful and informative material related to emotional intelligence and self-awareness, and how important these are in becoming a better communicator, team player, and leader. She did this in a way that was super fun. Courtney weaved in group discussions to make it interactive and collaborative, and she shared real life stories that made it relatable. She also did a brilliant job managing a hybrid attendee environment, interacting with both in-person and on-line participants.

Courtney was a big hit with our associates. Courtney is professional, fun, informative, engaging, and knows her stuff. She is a great speaker and can have an impact across all levels of the organization. The content, presentation, and how it was shared, made a lasting impact on how we communicate and work together. I will definitely ask Courtney back for future engagements.

Courtney was someone we have been wanting hire since prior to the pandemic. Once our conference came back full-steam, we were finally able to book Courtney as a keynote speaker to close out our entire conference with a full audience. She made it a priority to speak with several of our conference leaders beforehand to learn about who our attendees were, their challenges, and how she could best address their needs. She delivered a thoughtful presentation that resonated deeply with our audience, combining interaction and storytelling. Courtney speaks with passion, focus, and understanding, and we are excited to ask her back next year!

I had the pleasure of watching Courtney present at the CAHF Independent Operator Symposium.

Courtney just created an incredibly relatable and inspiring training for my team around leading through influence. She was real, fun, posed, intentional… I could go on and on. She took the time to get to know the team and even used their testimonials throughout the presentation. I would highly recommend Courtney! She is a class act.

Megan Murray
Senior Director, Field Operations at ULTA

Courtney has spoken for my association on several occasions, for a large general session and for a very select group of leaders. In both cases she hit it out of the park. Courtney makes an effort to connect during the planning phase to be sure her talk is catered to her audience, and they definitely feel that connection to who they are and what they do. She is a true professional and a dream to work with – all the things you hope for as a planner – communicative, punctual, and flexible. I will always try to work her into my program!

Thank you so much for encouraging us to be authentic and vulnerable. You are a great facilitator!

Courtney Ramsey was a speaker for a Leadership class that I was part of in Perryton, Texas. On this day her message was on the influence formula which consists of four different areas (and) the two that had the most impact on me this day was awareness and trustworthiness. The trustworthiness really hit home for me on this day has there was many things that I learned and can now apply to the work situation that I have.

A+ session. Courtney is a fabulous and extremely talented facilitator who’s great at getting people to share their thoughts and keep the discussion moving, engaging, and productive. The format of this session was also excellent, with the things we were discussing on the screen for us all to see at the same time, and key points also being reinforced verbally by Courtney. I’m really looking forward to next week and having time to learn and discuss more!

As the Director of Corporate Programs & Fundraising, I get to see speakers in a variety of virtual and live events. As the moderator for a virtual panel event, Courtney worked together with the panelists to cover many great insights, tips, wisdom, etc. She also did an incredible job of engaging our audience and making them feel they were a vital piece to the event as well. We received great feedback from our members and I look forward to collaborating again!

Courtney brings great energy in her presentations and delivers clear, actionable messages that will benefit her audience. At the conclusion of her “How to have tough conversations” seminar, our members were able to leave with some solid examples and role play experience to put what they learned into action in their lives. Thank you Courtney for sharing your expertise and experience!

Courtney has the “IT” factor that draws people in which makes her a phenomenally persuasive speaker and trainer. Whether the group size is 20 or 200, she can connect with and inspire each person in the room to push through obstacles and find new ways to achieve better results.
