Here is what people are saying ! ! "Gaye Hanson is a superb example of a truly uplifting motivational speaker: she uses relatable examples from her life to get across her point of choosing your attitude. She blends serious subject matter seamlessly with funny anecdotes. Gaye is the perfect representation of the moral of her story, and I feel privileged to be able to hear her speak." Christine J. "Best speaker I've ever had" Eugenie Burns "I have used (and continue to use) Gaye Hanson as a speaker. She engages my students with her high-energy, fun way of presenting material, gets them involved in discussion and teaches them what they need to know about the subject. She is, honestly, one of the funniest people I know…she uses humor to tell a story that keeps students focused and interested. She has the gift of forming a relationship with her audience in a very short period of time. Gaye spoke to my classes more than 3 weeks ago, and they are still talking about her!" Michelle Mazanec "Gaye did an excellent presentation. She is a real professional." LaNee
Victorson-Willey "She really grabs and keeps my students' attention. Her expertise and experience are so compelling." Marsha Mortel "I had heard Gaye Hanson described as a 'dynamo, the most exciting speaker you will ever hear!' I had no idea how true those descriptions were. I watched as Gaye first captured then ignited the audience. People were moved and on fire to accomplish anything! I have since watched productivity explode to a new level. We still giggle at and quote the speech given by Gaye! She taught us how to change and how to ignite our lives in unbelievable ways. All I can say is WOW what a dynamo! She is the most exciting speaker you will ever hear!!" Dawn Carlson "Presented a difficult topic of Sexual Harassment with sensitivity and enthusiasm. Excellent!" Connie
Sullivan "What a super workshop and speaker." Colleen
Bryant "Thank you for coming and speaking with our DECA class. You are definitely my favorite motivational speaker! You have such a way of telling stories that have such meaning, and it takes a person like you to deliver that message to teenage students. I was very inspired by your message last year, and this year, I was even more touched. I really like that you have a great way of getting in a one-on-one situation with the audience, even though you were speaking with 65 students! So you may get many letters, or you may not, but I hope you know that you have really made a great impact on how I think about life! Just watching the faces on some of the first year DECA students and how amazed they were when listening to you, lets me know that there are more people that understand what you have to say, than just me. Thank you
very much for coming and speaking with us. I hope that you will return in the
future! Erik H. "I don’t think you could put into words how your positive and uplifting attitude can change a person’s way of thinking. The minute you entered our room your attitude and your presence was warm and welcoming. Your speech on “ATTITUDE” is very important to all people of all ages; especially within our DECA chapter. We focus on leadership and development, and attitude has a lot to do with those to factors alone. So, I just want to take the time to tell you how valuable your speech on Attitude is and how I know all of us from DECA have only changed for the better. Positive attitude is essential and you definitely conquered showing us how important and influential really is. Thanks again." Tasha C. "Gaye was the best speaker I’ve ever had. She made me listen and I never zoned out. She kept me entertained and I wanted to hear what she had to say. I liked the way she spoke; she could go from making a joke to a serious point. Her speech really inspired me to have a good attitude in all situations. That life is too short to have a bad attitude. She really made me laugh, but she got her point to me. Gaye is a talented speaker." Dana S. "From the first word of her speech till the last she had so much energy that it got me excited too. She has a way of drawing you in—by getting you real excited, then calming her voice to hit you with her point—a technique I have never experienced with other speakers. Her jokes and facial expressions get you laughing—the kind of laughing where your stomach aches and your eyes water. She pulls you into her life and shares her stories with you like you’ve known her for years, and each time it gets me choked up to the point of tears. Gaye is such an inspirational, caring, and humorous speaker that I recommend her to family and friends, teachers and students—anyone of all ages! She will truly move you to succeed." Krystel C. "First off I would like to thank you for coming in to speak for a second time. Though I heard the same “talk” twice you got my attention just as you did the first time I heard you speak. It was even better the second time around! Both times I got different things out of your speech. This shows how much depth you have as a speaker as far as how many different people you can touch with your message. The first time you made the most impact on me with the message you can do anything you put your mind to. The second time the message that “your attitude is your choice” has really changed the way I live my day to day life. The way you react to people & situations you are put in has a huge impact on your life and really shows the kind of person you are. Gaye, you have helped me see that even in my failures I can have a positive attitude in my reaction to them, learn from them and this will ultimately add to my future success. Thanks again for sharing your passion!" Mallory D. "I normally don’t like speakers because after about 20 minutes they are just repeating the things about 8 times. But your speech was the best I’ve ever heard. You keep the whole audience laughing through the entire thing. My favorite thing was that you were loud and crazy J but that you got quiet every time you made a big point, and every time you would get quiet the whole audience would lean in to hear what was going to happen next. So overall, I loved your speech and I hope that you are going to come back again next year!" John C. "Gaye Hanson is a great lady. She really helped brighten my day with all her enthusiasm and joy. I love how her personality is so easygoing, and even through her hardest times in life she still found happiness. She has a great sense of humor and in a common situations where most people would get upset, she would just sit there and laugh. Her parents had the right idea of naming her Gaye, because she is such a happy person who brings joy to everyone." Nina H. "I really enjoyed Gaye talking to our class! She told us a few motivating stories that really touched all of us. She was very entertaining and made us all laugh! She taught us about attitude and how we can be better people. She was extremely outgoing and wasn’t afraid to say what she thought. Gaye has a very high level of energy and gets everyone pumped up. After she was done talking to our class I wanted to be more like her! I learned that I choose my attitude & I can make a huge difference in the world." Breanna E. “Outstanding! Love her!
