What They're Saying
"Renee’ Rongen is the perfect Spirit of Women event speaker! She's motivating, funny, dynamic and very entertaining! Our audience at Spirit Girls' Night Out were captivated by her humor and sensitivity. She made her stories relevant to our health topics and engaged the audience during her presentation. We can't wait to have her back in Atlanta again!"
Amy Bonner, Piedmont Hospital Girls’ Night Out, Atlanta, GA
“Renee’ Rongen was amazing. She connected so well with our audience. She had them roaring with laughter one minute and the next minute taking a deep look at their life's legacy. She was the "spirit" of our program. The attendees loved her and want her to come back. She made a lot of friends at our event.”
Holly Voltz, Genesis Healthcare System Girls’ Night Out, Zanesville, OH
“If your event is in need of a speaker everyone can relate to, an inspirational, motivational, laugh until you cry, touch the heart experience, then you'll find exactly what you're looking for with Renee’ Rongen. I met Renee Rongen two years ago at our St. Vincent Healthcare's Girl's Night Out event. We were truly inspired!
When I had the opportunity to chair the event this past September, we welcomed Renee’ back with our arms wide open. She is hysterical laughter to heartfelt tears. Again, we were thrilled at the reception. I looked around the room when she was speaking and Renee’ had everyone's complete attention the entire evening. She told great heartwarming life stories that everyone relates to so well. We were truly blessed with a successful repeat performance. I've received the most complimentary comments and accolades for Renee's message, and heartily recommend her for your event.”
Darla Jones, Girls' Night Out Event Chair 2009, St. Vincent Healthcare
“You were PHENOMENAL! Every day this week we heard compliments about you and the Day of Dance event. Thanks so much for coming.”
Jackie D'Aurora, Network Marketing Manager, Kettering Health Network
“Thanks again for treating our guests with so much kindness and consideration. You impacted people because you are so genuine and engaging, extremely funny and you listen closely. It’s obvious you have a great big heart and you share it freely! That is why all of the women loved you! I will take you up on the offer to discuss more ideas and creative options for reaching women . . . this is very exciting!”
Kathryn Stiles, Kettering Health Network
“You are a gift! What an amazing keynote! Your humorous approach to life’s experiences had all the women laughing until they cried. Like magic, you bring together humor and a poignant message that will left our ladies thinking about their Legacy and Purpose. Thank you for “making” our event an evening that many will take with them for years to come.
You and Shannon made the reservation process seamless. In this busy world, you don’t know how much that is appreciated. (Actually, I know you do.) I greatly appreciated your flexibility in working with our timeframes in the event. Mingling in the crowd and networking with our guests. Your “go with the flow” attitude took the pressure off my team so we could focus on “the experience” we would be providing to our guests.
You made them feel so comfortable they were talking with you from the crowd during your keynote. I couldn’t believe how engaging you were. One of our reviews stated, “the BEST Spirit of Women event yet, you out did yourself this year.” You are going to be hard to match. Thank you so much for all you did to make our event a memorable one. You by far exceeded my expectations. I will be recommending you to our HR department to come back for Nurses Week.”
Christy O'Connor, Regional Coordinator, Spirit of Women - St. Vincent Healthcare-Billings, MT
“Renee’ you were absolutely fabulous! You made our first ever Women’s Day event unforgettable. You were so hilarious and my sides are still sore from laughing so hard. The women loved you and loved that you took so much time after to visit with each of the tables. You were like the friend we never knew we had. You and Shannon were extremely flexible and easy to work with. I can’t wait to bring you back again, and neither can the all the women who attended. You are the best there is!”
