Amy Dernus is an absolute joy to work with. As an agent for BigSpeak speakers bureau, Amy booked me to give a series of presentations on ethics and leadership to the employees, managers, and C-suite executives. At every step of the way, Amy helped me serve the client to the best of my ability. She responded to my calls and emails promptly, attended to details that helped the engagement go smoothly, and was always pleasant and professional in all of our communications. Amy Dernus is a person of high character, and I recommend her highly. May you be fortunate to work with her too!
