Testimonial – LaMar King |
|
I first met Kay Fittes back in April of 2024 at a District Annual Conference through Toastmasters. I could tell instantly she was a person that I should know and even have come to speak to my Toastmasters club. It was her genuineness that connected me to her as someone who has a special heart to care for individuals. Her body language shows that she truly believes in everything she stands for. Her eye contact, her body posture, her handshake, her smile. All said to me “integrity” “honesty” “care”. I would consider Kay a rare individual whose sole purpose is to help others be better. I’m grateful our paths crossed and I’m looking forward to seeing Kay do more and mighty deeds. Ms. Fittes presented “A Guide to Going Toe to Toe with Anyone” at an Open House at my Toastmasters Club (City of Columbus). She gave a wonderful presentation that was very timely on how to deal with conflict in relationships. The value and insight Kay shared gave me more confidence to be willing to try different strategies with dealing with individuals who may be combative. Kay’s presentation was very effective relating to every audience member present, both male and female. The audience was totally engaged from the beginning. What sets Kay apart is her unique communication style and intentional desire to connect with all her audience even before the presentation. I really enjoyed the role play of how you might interact with someone who might be confrontational in communication. Kay really cares about her audience and takes their thoughts into consideration when presenting. Through her amazing eye contact and her timing, she was able to leave a lasting impression on our club from her visit. Kay handled questions seamlessly while also taking into consideration the amount of time she had to share her presentation. It was very easy to work with Kay Fittes. She responded well to our form of communication (email). She also had come off a major surgery while also having car issues, nevertheless she made the trip over 1 hour and 30 minutes to accommodate our needs as her listening audience. We would love to have Kay back as a follow up from her last presentation!
