“While
talking with Kathy, a beautiful virtual
space appears where hidden ideas and
intuitions rise up like mirages on the side
of the road. But then you realize it is your
road, and the mirages are your own real
possibilities and destinations, and you can
actually reach them because Kathy gives
great directions.”

“Kathy LeMay far exceeded our expectations. She pulled everyone into her space and you could have heard a pin drop the entire time she was speaking. She mesmerized the audience and her presentation moved them to action. We found Kathy to be exceptional in every way and thoroughly enjoyed our time with her.”

I have to say that the world needs more people like Kathy! I will never forget her event or spending the extra time with her, for it truly made an impact on my life. I hope that you continue to find women such as Kathy to speak people.

"Having Kathy speak at Bioneers was a total joy, from beginning to end. She was receptive regarding the needs and particularities of our diverse audience, and she and her team were responsive and thorough in providing us with the materials we needed for promotion and logistics. Her talk was as inspiring, authentic and catalytic as I’d hoped, and we received terrific feedback about her from attendees. Her particular combination of eloquence, fierce courage and authentic presence unites to be a significant asset to any gathering. She was well prepared for her talk, but still presented with spontaneity and made a great connection with the audience. I would invite her back in a heartbeat, and hope to, soon."
Nina Simons, Co-Producer, Bioneers
