Sylvia Baffour, our keynote speaker on the second day, delivered a speech that wove personal stories and lessons in resilience and emotional intelligence into an inspirational performance that spoke to everyone in attendance. Sylvia was unlike any keynote speaker we’ve worked with before in her ability to thread the specifics needs and interest of our community throughout her remarks. She was truly special and an absolute joy to work with.

- Margaret O.,
President at Wildlife Habitat Council

Sylvia gave the absolute best talk that I have seen during my career using her great speaking skills, positive spirit, and humor to inspire our team. What really separates Sylvia from other speakers was the groundwork that she put into getting to know the company, the team, and the core issues being faced by our collective group. She spoke the right language and sent the right messages to our team. I highly recommend Sylvia as a speaker.

Sylvia is an absolute delight to work with! Sylvia recently facilitated a company-wide EI webinar for our organization. She was dynamic and engaging and the content she shared with us was both informative and impactful. Her style and approach definitely helped participants better understand the emotional intelligence strategies being shared. We received great feedback about Sylvia’s presentation from the attendees.

Sylvia spoke at our annual conference and took down the house! She got a virtual standing ovation with her wonderful stories that resonated with over 300 attendees. She was engaging, charismatic, thoughtful and so knowledgeable about Emotional Intelligence. Her passion and authenticity was contagious and each person walked away with valuable lessons and tips for personal leadership and better self-awareness. She will absolutely be invited back. Seriously one of the best speakers I have ever heard!
