Thank you for your participation in the MN. FPA symposium. Now I know why you came so highly suggested as a speaker. The participant comments were extremely favorable with many requesting more of you. Thank you again.
One of our best speakers ever.
When we asked on the evaluation, “What parts of the program did you find most helpful?” The responses were: everything, she was fabulous, I want to hear more. When we asked, “What else might have been included?” The responses were more time with Ruth, when will she speak again, the topic and speaker were most useful. All-in-all the response was superb.
Thank you so much for speaking at our Women and Philanthropy Symposium. You cannot imagine all the positive feedback we have received.
I just have to tell you that every woman who attended our Circle of Women meeting last week was completely gripped by your talk! We got into our small groups and had discussions over your questions, and we continued to talk about it until we got into our cars and drove home percolating on your very important message: “How am I going to take care of my ‘inner 80 year old’?” It obviously is a topic that we must work out in our lives and I thank you for bringing it to us in your charming and personal style. I’ll warn you that there were suggestions to call you back for more!
I can’t begin to tell you how valuable your presentation was for St. Thomas women last evening. Women were in such deep dialogue about the advice you gave and how they could begin to change their money behavior that we dispensed with the speed networking. So many women came up to thank me for inviting you to speak and how they had always wanted to see you for themselves. Your presentation resonated with women at all ages and stages.You are dynamic, smart, funny, direct and have a great way of giving women permission to be strong and to make the right choices for their 80-year-old selves.
Very good topic: very relevant to our profession. Speaker held my interest throughout the presentation and was very knowledgeable.
Ruth Hayden is the best.
Thank you for your presentation focusing on your new book, “Start Where You Are:Retirement Planning in a Changing World.” At the Jewish Community Center of the Greater St. Paul Area. We are pleased we had the opportunity to have you as a guest speaker. People commented on how much information they gained from you talk and that they are looking forward to reading the book.
Ruth was wonderful!
Thanks for speaking to our group on Thursday. Everyone— I mean everyone— agreed that your talk was wonderful. It was both educational and inspirational.
A million thanks to you for speaking to the Minneapolis Women’s Rotary. We broke all records for attendance because of your presentation. The response has been very positive. You reinvigorated the group.
Regarding Sunday morning’s presentation: I do not mean to sound fatuous, but I have to sincerely tell you that you really touched and reached everyone in that room. Feedback to me has been enormously positive and unanimous in this point—that your manner and personality was so real and warm, while still being extremely informed and professional. Everyone trusted you. This stands in such contrast to our more usual encounters with someone female and ‘successful,’ their persona often being very brittle and condescending. You have launched many people on a path of new awareness — and we thank you for getting the process started.
Excellent presentation.
As Chair of our new program series, ‘Women, Money and Finance,’ at the St. Paul Branch AAUW (American Association of University Women), I want to express our thanks to you for being such a wonderful speaker. You gave such a great talk and the question and answer period was exceptional. Everybody I talked to wants more of the same.
