“Tricia Downing was hands-down the top-rated speaker at the 2011 Summit for Professional Growth held in Englewood, CO. You could hear a pin drop in the auditorium because we were captivated by Tricia’s story and her ability to translate her experiences with our own, individual quest to persevere despite personal obstacles. I would not hesitate to bring Tricia back for future events.”

“We hosted an extremely successful and very inspiring evening for our community with Tricia Downing as our guest speaker. We presented it as “An Evening of Hope and Inspiration with Tricia Downing.” In the 25 years I’ve lived and worked in the community, this was the most powerful event we’ve ever hosted.
More than 400 members of our community attended. Ms. Downing piqued their curiosity and held their rapt attention from the moment she began speaking to the lengthy standing ovation she received a the end. Her presentation was a perfect mix of humor and suspenseful moments blended with a very healthy dose of optimism and a clear message of hope and inspiration.”

“Trish provided a moving and engaging keynote address for our 700 guests. In conclusion the crowd responded with an enthusiastic standing ovation and surrounded her for hours following the event.

“I am writing in regard to Tricia Downing, a truly amazing person. Tricia is a motivational speaker that recently addressed our firm at a company function. Like you, I have hired various speakers over the years, some good, some not so good, some outstanding. Tricia is outstanding.
Her story is not only remarkable from a human-interest standpoint, but also practical from a business perspective regarding the mindset and attitude necessary to accomplish big goals. Tricia’s delivery is engaging and professional. I would urge you to consider her at your next event.”

Hi Trish,
“Thanks again for an awesome presentation! I’ve thought about it so often since you delivered it last week—staff and students were still referring to it Friday and one of the parents wrote “Incredible!” and put extra stars by your presentation on the evaluation! ☺ All the parents ranked you as excellent!”

“As president of Colorado Hotel & Lodging Association I am always looking for the best resources and information for my members. I also look for new angles and approaches to age old lodging issues. That is why I was so delighted to have Tricia Downing bring a real perspective to accessibility in hotel rooms. Our members comply with ADA requirements but even that does not always address the practical challenges of maneuvering your way around a hotel room. Tricia brought expertise, credibility and a fresh perspective which left my members really thinking about how they could do better in their own operations. She was so well received.”

“Tricia has a unique gift as a speaker and is using it to challenge leaders, develop teams and, frankly, change lives. The audience at our event was on the edge of their seats as she weaved her unique story of tragedy, ongoing setbacks, and eventual triumph. We teetered back and forth between the edge of tears and heartfelt laughter, driving home the critical points she was making to the group about making the most of every opportunity. If you’re thinking about bringing Tricia to your organization, jump on it. It’s a decision you’ll never regret!”
