Thank you for your work helping me prepare presentations for our annual meeting. I heard comments from our attendees that it was ‘the best annual meeting, ever.’ I look forward to working with you again!
Jane Caris, VP Sales and Marketing

I recently attended your webinar 'PowerPoint is Not a Teleprompter.' I found it to be very helpful and informational. Thank you for giving such great ideas. It is amazing how the simplest things can make such a big difference.
Glenn O'Neill, Vice President – Training Consultant | Learning and Development
Bank of the West
Thank you so much for your very interesting and enlightening presentation this morning about PowerPoint. Your ideas make me what to roll up my sleeves and get started!

When you work with Sue Stoen, you can expect her to keep you focused on your key messages - she will bring creative insights to the table to ensure your key messages are memorable.
Kevin Field, Director, Business Development

Labels 2 Learn LLC
I wonder if you realize how much your "can do" attitude affects your client loyalty and retention. Crafting messages is a very personal thing -- and you're off-the-charts personal! That, the clarity you bring, and the results you help us create, is why we enjoy the CQ experience so much.
Brad Thompson, CEO & President

Business Expert Webinars
Don't deliver another PowerPoint presentation until you talk to Sue Stoen! She has tremendous insight into what it takes to design a compelling presentation that inspires audiences. She will help you avoid delivering the infamous "Death by PowerPoint" presentation. Have Sue take your game to the next level. I've seen her do that for the Business Expert Webinars speakers as well as my own keynote presentation. She is the master!
Lee Salz, Chief Executive Officer

Uponor
Let me say again, how grateful we are for your contribution to our national sales meeting. We believe your work not only improved our PowerPoint slides, but raised our presentation delivery as well. You did a fantastic job in a stressful atmosphere. You are such a pro — a million thanks.
Ingrid Mattsson, N. America Marketing Manager

Selling Dynamics

Have I told you that I love you? Thank you for your work on my presentation. It is surely true that people need to stick to what they are good at. I’m a good leader of salespeople and not at all creative! I love creative people!
Tom Schaber, Principal

TIGERS Success Series
Susan has helped me create the visuals for my speaking presentations and webinars. I could not be more pleased. Her in-depth ability has upgraded my presentations to true expert status. If you require the finest PowerPoint presentations for the work you perform, then I highly recommend Susan's services.
Dianne Crampton, President and author

OnTrack Coaching & Consulting Inc

Thank you so much for yesterday, Sue. It is a pleasure to speak with a professional who offers so much true value.
Marilyn Edelson, Principal

ValueSelling Associates

Wow. I’ve been very impressed by the presentation design work you’ve done for us. A picture is worth a thousand words - you have improved our presentations with wonderful visual effects! You’ve really helped us transform our presentations to a much more creative and visual message. You’re creative, efficient and quickly grasp the point of the slide without much direction for us. I highly recommend you to others who are ready to take their PowerPoint to the next level.
Julie Thomas, President & CEO

IAAP
Thank you for the time you spent with the Twin Cities West IAAP Chapter teaching us how to think outside the slide; the information I learned from you in that one hour had a huge impact on the skills that I now bring to working with PowerPoint presentations. In fact, our most senior consultant called me the Picasso of PowerPoint!, and she does not issue praise lightly or often, so it was all the more appreciated.
Joan Gatzmeyer

Kirkeby Resources

I lucked out finding you at the perfect time! We were changing our company image, with a new web site, new logo, the works. At the same time I needed several PowerPoint presentations, the first to be used in a webinar in just a few days. You handled everything! Coordinating with my web designers, the marketing people, and creating the first slide presentation well in advance of the scheduled webinar. You also created an outstanding Kirkeby Resources company presentation that we use to tell our story to potential clients. Everyone is impressed! Thank you, thank you!
David Kirkeby, President

ForHealth Technologies

She's good! freakin awesome. a picture is worth 10,000 words.

Steve Thomas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

V Creative

Susan is wonderful to work alongside. She is consistently positive and quality oriented; even as unreasonable deadlines approach. I appreciated her creativity and thoroughly considered input at every phase of our work together. Her professionalism is easily commendable.

Vonda Vaden, Participant Engagement Achievement Adviser

I was at your MN CPA presentation a couple weeks ago, and I wanted to report that I just finished my first PPT since then. I am very pleased with the end result and owe it all to you! I had no trouble figuring out how to do some pretty complex effects including all kinds of animation - thanks for the encouragement. Thanks a million.

Steve Beddor, Family Business Consultant

ProfitPATH
Sue has a very extensive knowledge of presentation techniques and incredible creativity. She combines those with her experience in developing presentations to demonstrate an incredible grasp of what is possible with PowerPoint. She also has a great way of pointing out where you've gone wrong which leaves you feeling part of the solution rather than the root of the problem. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who has to do high level, professional presentations.
Jim Stewart, CEO
