Here is a sampling of testimonials and quotes from college students and administrators on the impact from Kathy McAfee’s speaking in classroom and auditorium settings:

“Before attending your “Perfect Your Pitch” session at our career summit, I was really worried about my marketable skills and how they would set me apart in the field. Honestly, I had never given a moment’s consideration to what I would say if I had to “pitch” myself! When I began to consider my past and current experiences, I realized that I have a lot to offer the world in my chosen field. I focused on being authentic and, during our later “pitch” sessions, my fellow classmates commented that I was “smooth and genuine.” I came away from your session with a better understanding on how to be comfortable and confident in my own skin and believable as a potential job candidate. Furthermore, I feel fully focused and invested in my education because I now have a clearer picture of my goal. Putting together my “pitch” helped me embrace that goal.” - Sarah H., senior year student attending the 2012 Career Summit at Bay Path College
