“Her keynote presentation was inspiring, informative, interactive, and engaging.”

“I recently had the opportunity to hear Dr. Maria Church present at the Women in Action Conference. Her keynote presentation was inspiring, informative, interactive, and engaging. I’ve heard Dr. Church present before, and I am always impressed at her ability to make each presentation meaningful to her audience. If you are looking for a speaker who will inspire, engage, and interact with your audience, I strongly recommend Dr. Maria Church!” 

— Gwen Calhoun, City Council Member 

“I had the pleasure of sitting in on a wonderful seminar recently presented by Dr. Church on Love-based Leadership. While the seminar title was "Is the F-Word Killing Your Organization”, her whole approach was based on the need for love-based leadership in today's organizations. Since I lead a team in leadership development for my company, and am a student of leadership in general, I found Dr. Church's concepts imminently workable and similar to those found in servant leadership, transformational leadership, and authentic leadership. I would highly recommend that you take the time to attend one of her seminars, watch her on her Dr. Maria TV, or read her book. Any of them would be well worth your time.” 

— Scott Knutson, MBA, CPLP, CM, Leadership/Organizational Development Professional Helping to Improve Performance Using Principles of Servant Leadership 

“Maria presented one of the best programs in recent memory.”

“Maria presented one of the best programs in recent memory for ATD meeting. Based on her Love-Based Leadership model, Maria inspired the audience to take a fresh look at leadership. She engaged the audience by facilitating a values clarification exercise that examined what is importance in one’s life and aligning these outcomes with leadership principles. She integrated the concept of a meaningful and purpose driven life as a cornerstone in decision-making and providing clear leadership within organizations. The presentation also offered numerous tips to adapt the content into meaningful training and development activities, which was especially important to our membership. Overall, a very worthwhile, thought-provoking experience.”

— Ken Everingham, Training & Organizational Development Consultant & President at KFE Consulting
