Comments from Linda’s audience…
“I want to express my appreciation and gratitude to you for helping to enrich our conference for Girl Scout Volunteer Trainers and Staff working with training by being the closing speaker at our conference in February. Your motivational presentation based on your book ended our conference on a positive note.
I thought you might be interested in the results and comments on the evaluations relating to your presentation. On a scale of 1 (low) to 5 (high), your talk was consistently rated in the high range. Here is a sample of the comments:
“She was great and I look forward to reading her book.”
“ It was inspirational to hear what she had to overcome to get to the top.”
“ The Sunday morning speaker was excellent.”
We all appreciated the opportunity to purchase your book. I kept one copy of the ten I bought from you prior to the conference and have enjoyed reading it. You are one amazing lady.
On behalf of the Girl Scouts of North Alabama and the other 10 councils represented at the conference from Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi, I want to again say thank you for contributing to the success of our conference.”

“ I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your talk and being able to spend some time with you. I found your presentation powerful and “on the mark” — there is no question in my mind why you have been so successful.”

“You touched the hearts of so many of our representatives and scholarship recipients. You are an inspiration to women all over the State, but more than that, you are strength for all those ladies who find themselves in the same situation. In fact, one of our scholarship recipients is experiencing the very same [situation] you shared with us. Not only did you touch the women in the meeting, but my executive (the only male present) was impressed with something you shared as well. You said something he remembered and that was ‘write down what you want your legacy to be.’ He shared this in a joint staff meeting with the convention center and the hotel the following morning.”
Mary A. Vann, 2004 Chapter President, Executive Women International, Birmingham, Alabama |
“Yesterday, you gave what may have been the most perfect short presentation I have ever heard. You balanced anecdote with data, the personal with the objective and articulated your goals for the talk and for your future more effectively than anyone I can remember. And I attend a lot of public speaking events.
The clarity of your prose, your choice of examples, the way you supported your statements were not only entertaining, they were compelling. Although I'd purchased a book before you spoke, when you finished, I stood in a long line again for the privilege of buying a second. Bravo.”
Marcy F. Lawton, PhD., President, Monte Sano Learning Center, Inc., Huntsville, Alabama |
“We had super attendance of over 90 members and guests for the April 10th meeting featuring Linda Spalla speaking about her new book, Leading Ladies: 30 Tips for Dynamic Female Leaders. As you'd expect, Linda's presentation was excellent, right on the mark about the qualities and benefits of female leadership. Her book is the same, a quick interesting read. You literally hear Linda speak as you are reading the pages, her writing style mirrors her speaking style. She truly calls 'em as she sees 'em, with fabulous frankness. The way she’s organized the book lends it to becoming an important reference tool for any female leader. You can pick it up and get a quick jolt of common sense and encouragement at a moment’s notice on any particular leadership attribute you are tussling with at the time. I'll be keeping a copy at both my office and home.”

“I just wanted you to know how many compliments I have received ...[about] your book and your presentation. Everyone loved your tips and the way you presented them... how appropriate for the occasion.”
Liz Kennedy, Community Volunteer, The Ophelia Project, Tampa, Florida |

much I enjoyed hearing you speak at Teledyne Brown Engineering a few
weeks ago. You are an excellent speaker, and I think you make a lot
of sense!”
