What attendees have shared about Emily’s presentations and workshops
“Emily Parks is the only business consultant that I have been willing to listen to more than once! Her speaking style is perfect, not too fast and not too slow, and she encourages dialogue during her talks to make sure everyone has a clear understanding of what the material is while not in a way that makes anyone feel silly.
She brings a ton of energy and, even though she is extremely well versed in tech gadgets and uses them to their full potential, she can speak well to those who don’t live and breathe tech.”
– Chelsea M. of Raleigh, NC
“I was impressed with Emily’s depth of knowledge, spanning both organizational ideas and implementation, but also her breadth of experience using technology as an organizational tool.”
– Karen G. of Raleigh, NC
“I highly recommend Emily Parks as a presenter. Her speaking style was clear and detailed, and she dispensed a great deal of valuable information. Her slideshow was excellent with detailed information about each technological tool, including screenshots for each application.
Emily provided handouts of the slideshow to each attendee as well as additional links and resources pertaining to the topic. Her technical expertise became obvious and was very helpful during the question and answer portion.”
– Nancy H. of Holly Springs, NC
“This class was worth every dime & more. I learned so many tools that will help me, not only professionally but also personally. My wedding planning is going to be so much easier now, too.
Emily is very detailed and gives many options, no matter what your needs might be. She was able to troubleshoot with participants, coming up with solutions right then.”
