TESTIMONIALS: Speaking
We learned volumes! Your presentation was incredibly dynamic and kept us on the edges of our seats. You made us laugh, you made us cry, you made us reflect, remember, empathize. You had us mesmerized and enthralled. We were like sponges, trying to absorb every word you spoke. You had a profound effect on us, and we came away from that session feeling strengthened and fortified for the next difficult situation to confront us.– Sandra Schulte, Nurse
Family Center for Health of Battle Creek
... your excellent program, Patient Contact: Make it Count, presented to the Hillsdale Community Health Center staff members, physicians and administration…. brought in nearly 400 people to learn the value of quality customer service in the health care service industry and how it impacts our bottom line. Without a doubt, your presentation was the most dynamic that we have ever experienced at our hospital and one that has made a lasting impact on our staff. Your information was current and most relevant for our hospital and provided us with the "next level" in customer contact in our aggressive approach to increase our patient satisfaction scores.
I must note that every single evaluation returned to us reflected comments such as "dynamic", "inspiring", "outstanding", "spot on", and dozens of other related positive comments.... Overall, it was a superior program that will impact our organization for a very long time.

Mary Jane Mapes is a speaker who has always met or exceeded my expectations...She does not have a problem modifying her programs to meet the specific needs of the client. I find the sessions we partner on often sell themselves because of her flexibility and her ability to get the prospective client excited about the learning. …Our working relationship has been exceptional ...Mary Jane is timely with materials, communicates exceptionally well with the client, and is adaptable to the MHA's system. I do not hesitate to use her as much as possible because I know our partnership will be a win/win situation.

Your first presentation at our organization was great. Your second one was super great. What happens if I invite you to return for a third time? I always appreciate your pre-program work to understand our needs. This effort pays off in your ability to set and meet appropriate objectives for the program. You have a unique way of connecting with the audience through personal experiences and practical applications. You've spoken to two groups of managers in our organization. Perhaps it's time to meet some of the employees!

I am making an extremely strong recommendation for a speaker, Mary Jane Mapes, CSP. Her ability to deliver on a fast-paced basis, while fully getting her important points across, MALU would find hard to match. When faced with hard-core salespersons like us, she held our rapt attention as she provided plenty of word pictures and illustrations to convey her information. As program chair, I received only hearty congratulations on being able to bring such a high caliber speaker to our meeting.
– D.B., Lafayette Life Bird Insurance Agency
Thank you for the excellent presentation you gave at our 11th Annual Conference. Your presentation titled "You Make It Happen" was right on target and we appreciate the obvious homework you put into the program prior to your delivery. Your deep desire to connect with the participants was obvious as you responded to the group and structured the content to meet the needs of the participants. The attendees…left the session feeling energized and truly believing "They Make It Happen!"

A Mary Jane Mapes speech is never just the words, never just a method to accomplish a goal; it's always an honest glimpse inside Mary Jane and thereby, a look into the mirror. It's an opportunity to reach down and discover.
– B.J., Lacks Industries
. . . I believe our Atlanta meeting was a huge success. I was very impressed with your flexibility to adjust your segment to the needs of the audience.
