“My name is Kiana Scott-Mayse, MA, LPC-Intern, School Counselor and I was one of the Coordinators where Maranda Evans, MBA recently presented at our girls retreat. From the beginning (us inquiring about her being a part of our event), she was professional in the sense that she was efficient in giving us the play by play of her presentation. She provided us with a blue print, i.e. what she was going to speak on, how long that would take, the activities she’d have the girls do, from ice breakers to closing activities. Moving forward, when she came to the event, she was on time as requested. Exceeded my expectations in the fact that she had door prizes and raffle tickets for the girls and that really got them engaged. She was very strategic in the topic she selected to discuss with the girls, provided with a fill in the blank handout that she walked them through, but required them to think about what they want for themselves in the future. She made a connection with the girls by sharing her personal testimony with them and they were more willing to open up about some things they’d experienced in their lives. As a result, they thoroughly enjoyed her presentation, wanted to know more about Ms. Evans and all wanted to read a copy of her book. I’d highly recommend you book her for your next speaking engagement as she’s truly called to empower, motivate and encourage the youth.”
