“Sondra was a great asset in coordinating two speaking engagements through Golden Ladder Productions. I was impressed with her customer service and communication skills. Both events were successful because of Sondra’s attention to planning every detail. They say the devil is in the details, but working with Sondra was FUN. I was a returning customer after the first event and the second was equally a great experience. Although, we have not worked together for several years we continue to stay connected to share work and family updates. Sondra has a gift to build positive relationships with clients. ”

Chuck Terrell, CEO, Advancement & Innovative Strategies, LLC

“Sondra was my exclusive speaker services agent at SUCCESS. Through her efforts we executed hundreds of keynote engagements, impacting the lives of millions of people (and generating millions of dollars in fees). Clients would go out of the way to express to me how wonderful Sondra is and what a delight it was to work with her. It was a tremendous advantage to have Sondra representing me, making me look good and wowing the client beyond expectation. Sondra IS wonderful!”

“Thanks again, Betty, for helping us with Coach Jimmy Johnson.  You truly went above and beyond convincing him to re-arrange his schedule – with no penalty – when we had to reschedule our program unexpectedly.  I still am amazed that he flew from New York and back in the same day to help us out.  And, I know that he only did that because he thinks so highly of you!  For that, we were all blessed.  The comments I heard over and over again about his presentation were “amazing”, “spot on”, “incredible”… and to think he presented a personalized message with no notes or teleprompter.  We cannot thank you enough for the amazing experience”
