Presentation Feedback

For up to date testimonials and feedback on recent keynote and wellness workshops, check out my Talkadot page here.

Aileen brings knowledge, compassion and fun to each wellness session. She has presented to both in-person and virtual audiences, as well as with a global employee population. She has a way of bringing wellness topics to life by combining well-researched scientific facts with practical ideas and action items for the participants. Aileen uses her creativity to design workshops that address some of the most common health topics, and best of all - she has a way of keeping the participants engaged. Instead of feeling intimidated by what they are not doing or not doing well, our employees leave her sessions feeling empowered to start making small, achievable goals. I have received many unsolicited feedback from participants after her sessions, and to me, that is a true mark of a great presenter!
— Eve Gao, Global Benefits Manager, Charles River Associates

Aileen has presented to our employees on two separate occasions and both times, the experience feels tailored to our group. She is engaging and thoughtful with the data she uses to back up her talks and the resources she shares as takeaways. She keeps the audience’s attention via neat data points and polls throughout the presentation. She has a personable style that draws you in, no matter the topic. Aileen is easy to work with and professional in her delivery and communications. She is thorough, flexible and very helpful in ensuring a seamless process.
— Clo Xavier, Associate Director, HR Business Partner, Karuna Therapeutics

It may seem hard to eek out time in a day, but this session is such a great place to start. Aileen helps you feel seen and also connect with other people in the group so no one feels left behind or inept. Aileen gave some really great insights into how to help us think of what are goals are and how to actually become the person who would do those goals. She made everything very attainable and not overwhelming. It was also nice that Aileen gave examples that could fit many people and lifestyles. I’m inspired and look forward to putting all these tips to use!

Aileen is absolutely fantastic and a very interactive presenter. Not only does she encourage participation, but she remembers the comments that individuals make and is able to bring them up in future sessions for examples. This strategy shows how deeply Aileen cares, and how she truly listens to what people say. She always allows for questions after her presentations and creates a comfortable environment where many employees feel safe sharing information.

I’ve spoken so highly about Aileen to my friends, family, and coworkers. I shared strategies that Aileen gave me to some friends who struggle with the same things that I do (such as how to turn off that “perfectionist” mindset, how to step back and fill into “other cups” besides the one track-minded ones that I tend to focus on, how to prevent burnout, how to unplug from my phone, etc.). I’ve had conversations with other coworkers about Aileen and we all practice some of her strategies for how to turn off our devices and separate ourselves from technology.

You had my complete attention for 60 minutes without texting or checking emails... I enjoyed the workshop and glad I took the time
— John, Retraining Your Brain and Attention Span participant

“Stress Less, Sleep More” was a really good presentation - with lots of data and very do-able tips for actually implementing them. SO many of these types of presentations are not as actionable. Thank you and be well!

This session made me realize how burned out I actually am, and motivated me to take action to recover.

I have been joining your weekly meditations – they have been great. I specifically just wanted to say thank you for that first meditation… I keep returning to the place we visualized, and it has been so helpful!
— Boston Beer Company meditation class participant
You have definitely been a hit with our coworkers, and I really appreciate your approach of making meditation accessible to all by not needing to be perfect. It really helps newbies (like me) be more comfortable with getting into the practice.

Aileen brings an intense passion to every session she presents on. Aileen is extremely knowledgeable in her subject matter as well as approachable. This makes for a great relationship between our employees and Aileen. They know they can trust her, ask questions, and reach out to her should they want to speak privately.

Aileen may be my favorite wellness presenter of all time! I have complete confidence that every session will be amazing, attended and that our employees feedback will always be positive. I also learn something new myself every time she presents. I look forward to working with Aileen for many years to come!
— Crystal McDermott, Senior Manager, Global Benefits and Wellness, Charles River Associates

Five stars!
— Akamai Technologies HR
Wow!  I am really glad I attended this session, it may have the biggest impact on me yet.
— Pegasystems employee participant at "You Are What Your Skin Eats" workshop

I attended multiple meditation sessions with Aileen and she was fantastic. She made the environment comfortable for everyone from those new to meditation to those more experienced. She was relaxed, approachable and knowledgeable. I also attended Aileen’s “You Are What Your Skin Eats” session which was very informative and inspiring! The research she put in to the class was incredible, but it was all shared in an easy to digest way. I know from other attendees they found this session very valuable as well. I highly recommend Aileen as a Corporate Wellness partner!
— Christine Grant, Senior Compensation Analyst, wellness workshop attendee

Her sense of humor was fantastic and she did a great job soliciting student feedback and participation during discussions.
— anonymous workshop participant
Aileen was very good at covering the information in the allotted time while always leaving ample time for questions. She was very approachable and created a fun, respectful atmosphere that enabled participants to ask questions/share personal stories freely. Aileen was also a very enthusiastic presenter; she made the workshop very enjoyable.
