"She is a powerhouse"

 

"We invited Candy Barone back to speak at our PMI Chapter Fall Professional Day because she was one of the highly requested speakers from our chapter members.

Her positive energy is contagious, and the interactive session enables her to build a strong connection with the audience.

She is a powerhouse, her session is not only thought provoking but also actionable. She unleashed the potential within us that day, and we all walked away feeling more empowered than ever."

- Winnie Lam, VP of Professional Development, PMI Austin

"You must experience Candy!"

 

"You must experience Candy Barone! Over the past three years, I have had the good fortune of sitting in on five of Candy’s training sessions, from sessions for a small team of 10 to a broad group of 200 participants.

I am always amazed at how she is able to command the room with such passion & energy, and no matter how long the session is, from two hours to two days, the audience is always left wanting more.

Candy’s message truly hits the mark and has helped me to become a stronger leader and strike a better balance at home with my wife and my daughters. I am Empowered Strong, my team is delivering explosive results, and I am leading a more purposeful life — all of which I attribute to “the Candy Barone experience!"

- John Thompson, Regional Vice President, GE Healthcare
