What Participants Are Saying About Their WOW Experience...

Herman Stevens Attorney at Law
WOW was a great course. Kathy Times is the best. One could clearly see that WOW is a cumulation of years of experience inside and outside the workplace. It has been challenging to overcome my own personal issues with technology. The one thing I can take away from WOW is to not be afraid. Everything is manageable. I also walked away with a better understanding of how networking through technology can be invaluable. I have long been a proponent of shaking hands and doing a great job and being acknowledged for it. in addition, WOW taught me to not be shy about being my own biggest cheerleader. Thank you Kathy Times.

Christian Ross, Managing Real Estate Broker
The WOW Atlanta seminar was incredibly relevant. It was great to learn from professionals who are active in their industries and are not providing theory but rather practical advice that we could implement immediately. The mock interview was great. Since the seminar, I have been in so much media. I feel like I’m always prepared for interviews.

Walter Jennings University of South Florida, Diversity Initiatives
Kathy developed WOW presentations that were cohesive and tailored to meet the needs of our scholars. The workshops were professional, energetic, and informative. That’s very important since the majority of the students were taking online classes all day. To have this type of experience and the type of attendance that we had — month after month — was a telltale sign that the students were able to obtain a lot from WOW and stay engaged.
Kathy Times’ WOW was an excellent and amazing experience. The planning process, the implementation, the execution of the workshops, and the ending with the gifts was an amazing process from the beginning until the end.
