Steph is an inspiring speaker that exemplifies both authenticity and a keen passion to make a difference. It was fascinating to hear Steph speak about her journey as the founder of Seven Women, and how she is empowering disadvantaged women in Nepal to live a better life. Steph is engaging and refreshingly honest - one of the most impactful speakers that I've had the chance of hearing.

From my membership in the US National Speaker's Association, I have seen many good (and many not-so-good!) speakers. Stephanie Woollard is, without doubt, one of the former. I have seen her speak in high-pressure engagements such as at the United Nations in New York, and have seen her interact one-on-one, and she displays a confidence, presence, and eloquence that is most engaging. Whether she is delivering from the podium or handling audience questions, Stephanie is a rare gem with an amazing story to tell, and that is why I look forward to hearing her next speech--wherever it may be--and why she was an easy choice to include in my book, A String of Pearls.
