Oncology professional, Mission Hospital, Asheville, NC, on speaking at grand rounds followed by keynote presentation at Western NC's Survivorship Summit

“I was fortunate to attend a workshop in Dublin which was facilitated by Pam Schmid. From the beginning she made us all feel extremely welcome in a friendly yet professional manner, and this carried right through the day. She spoke about her topic and facilitated our learning and understanding with an ease which comes from her knowledge and passion for Coaching and Speaking, and sharing her learning’s and insights with others. Pam is very generous and open as a facilitator, and when speaking she shares rather than tells, and at all stages she is very engaging.”
