From the Past Attendees

Great session! Perfect mix of data, insights, quotes, examples, and humor. Easily one of the best sessions at the conference.

Your session at Build Business was outstanding, Ida! I was happy to grab the last seat available…on the floor. You packed the house with your compelling content and delivery! Thank you for sharing your expertise!

We need more expert presentations like Ida’s! This is the benchmark for an $800 conference. Ida, you elevate our profession and make us all better marketers!

I was blown away AGAIN by not only the content and delivery of your presentation, but the unique thought leadership shared, born from the synthesis of your curiosity, research, connection and wisdom.

Every statement felt like a pull-out quote, and your closing statement gave me literal chills. You inspired me to take the next step in leadership in my firm, and lean in to better represent my company’s brand and singular client experience.
