Anna has a very, very important message that every one needs to hear. How she delivers her message through life stories, facts and song is so powerful you can't help but be emotionally pulled in. Her use of pitch, tone, pace and body language to take you on a journey is brilliant. I encourage everyone to make a point of hearing Anna talk if the opportunity arises. You'll not be disappointed and more importantly you will resonate with and learn from but the message she has to tell. If you are a booking agent book her to speak now! I promise you'll be impressed.

Has a 65 year-old caregiver of others I have to care for my three grandchildren and they have health health challenges and I’ve had to be a caregiver along with my sister of my mother during her cancer treatment. I have worked for hospice and home health I have worked as a case manager, so I have been a caregiver all my life so you really spoke to me. Thank you. I would love to talk to you more about your mission and what I can do as a member of the workforce to help my coworkers and myself

I am the team leader for a church ministry. I have no paid employees. But I have 40 volunteers who are vital to the ministry. We foster C.A.R.E. as an integral part of our ministry. This presentation was a wonderful source of information and I will share the video with our volunteers. Many of them either own a business or are upper level mgrs. Thank you!
ShaRon
Anna is engaging and so very knowledgable. She is an expert in what she is talking about yet makes it so understandable. Anna has a way of breaking things down into pieces that make sense. We all will be caregivers, have been caregivers, or will need a caregiver at some point and Anna's information is invaluable.
Attendee
Dr. Anna Thomas is very knowledgeable in regards to caregivers and the invisible roles that they play. She works to bring awareness to the silver tsunami as she calls it because it's here and not going away. I would highly recommend that if you are a caregiver or know someone who is that you tap into Dr. Thomas!

I believe the presentation was excellent and relevant to me personally. You do have to know your audience and you delivered. So many people are either sandwiches kids or have no kids but aging parents. How does this situation affect them at work and home. Truly a relevant topic.
Attendee
Dr. Ann provided excellent information on public speaking and communication. I learned valuable tips that I can apply right away. I’m so glad I can attend her summit and appreciate the knowledge and encouragement she shared at AI insights with Alicia.
