What Pitney Bowes Business Insight Group said about Joy Baldridge:   "Last week I attended a seminar and the Keynote speaker was Joy Baldridge.  She was phenomenal!  Truly motivational and timely for our organization.  I urge you to take a look at her credentials and even venture to have a conversation with her, I assure you she will blow you away.  In the short time she was given to speak she was precise, direct and engaging.  Let's bring her back!"  - Strategic Talent Management and Diversity Leadership Kickoff Keynote

What Rolling Stone Magazine Said about Joy Baldridge:    "Joy exceeded all of our expectations and made believers out of doubters.  The reason? She spoke to our specific challenges and made the meeting all about us.  Add to that her boundless energy and the results were explosive!"  -National Sales Meeting Keynote and Workshop

What Coldwell Banker said about Joy Baldridge:     "Joy's presentation was a "WOW" from start to finish.  A five star performance.  Joy set a positive tone with her distinct energy, insight and excitement that only she could bring to our event. It was fabulous fun. I would be delighted to work with her again!"       - Regional Sales Rally Keynote

What American City Business Journals said about Joy Baldridge:    We've never allowed someone to speak for three hours at our national ad directors' meeting because we feared their message and its impact would wane.  That is until this year.  This year we invited Joy Baldridge to speak.  Within the first five minutes of her presentaion, you could sense the audience had been won over.  They saw Joy as an equal and someone genuinely concerned with their success.  I was so impressed that I am ready to commit to having Joy back next year, plus I would like her to play a key role in national events that we will be holding across the country.  I hope that when perspective clients consider hiring Joy Baldridge, they think about the outcome they want from the engagement.  Do they want a meeing that is considered "one" of the best?  Or do they one that "is' the best?  Joy made our meeting 'the" best!"     - Ad Directors' Annual Strategy Meeting Keynote and Workshps
