Ahas and Action through Professional Speaking

“Khara’s presentation was clear and interactive. She provided a good overview of risk factors, trends in suicide assessment tools, and apps for clinicians to share with clients. I have been in practice for a while but this provided different perspective from other clinicians along with Khara’s expertise. The training was two hours well spent.”

Her presentation was well thought-out and provided skills and confidence to a group of professionals who had varying levels of experience in these areas.”

Additionally, she has been a featured blogger on the Harmony Blog, posting quality content for readers locally, regionally and nationally.”
— Gina de Peralta Thorne, Chief Marketing Officer and Event Organizer, Harmony Foundation, Inc.
“Khara is an event planner’s dream. She comes prepared with her slide deck and knowing the type of AV needs that work best with her presentation style. Throughout the planning process, Khara was incredibly helpful by not only providing guidance on topics that needed to be covered, but also writing content for marketing materials to ensure the workshop was appropriately represented. I relied on her expertise to build out the workshop’s program, and she led a thoughtful presentation on such an incredibly difficult topic. The workshop was very well received by attendees.”
