San Antonio Feral Cat Coalition asked Cathy to give her talk on Compassion Fatigue at our annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon. Throughout the 45-minute talk you could see many nodding heads and even a few tears. Given the subject matter, it was surprisingly entertaining, and considering the rave reviews, others agreed. Cathy is not only an excellent speaker, she has a down-to-earth approach that connects with her audience. We are circulating her excellent handout among rescuers who could not attend. We highly recommend Cathy as a motivational speaker! <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our organization, the Humane Society of Charlotte, had the pleasure of hosting Cathy for the Customer Service for Animal Welfare Professionals Workshop. Cathy delivered sound and relatable advice and tools that can be utilized by all areas of our staff- not just those working directly with the public. Cathy engaged staff members throughout the day, asking questions and encouraging participation in group activities that all found both fun and enlightening. Examples given were tailored specifically to the departments in attendance, which gave the workshops a personal touch that helped resonate with attendees. Overall, our staff confirmed that Cathy did an outstanding job with the workshops and staff members came away with a better understanding of how to handle tough customer service situations, as well as maintaining positive client relations on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

As media relations manager for PetSmart Charities, I’ve worked with Cathy in her role as a consultant for more than three years. However, she’s been counseling and coaching our animal welfare partner groups long before I joined the organization. She’s been a tremendous asset to me and PetSmart Charities, but her true value lies in the support and expertise she brings to animal shelters, large and small, across the country. As a journalist and lifelong advocate for animals, she’s earned the respect of the rescue groups she counsels and helps them share their stories with audiences nationwide. Cathy is a true professional in every respect. She’s an exceptional writer, a stickler for detail and an invaluable resource of knowledge. Whether it’s developing a successful PR campaign, writing a blog post, or preparing a spokesperson for a media interview, she never disappoints. I highly recommend Cathy as a communications consultant. Her experience, skill and passion would be a welcome addition to any organization.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

“Whether you have 100 or 1,000 people in the audience for your conference’s opening session, they want to see something entertaining and meaningful. I’ve relied on Cathy to make that happen many times at conferences I have planned at the American Humane Association and PetSmart Charities. She works with the speakers to sharpen their presentations, scripts the introductions, determines the order of events, and transitions everything smoothly from one presenter to another. Then she rehearses every part of the session and times it down to the minute to help you build to a “standing ovation” finish. All of that and she is fun to work with! I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I worked on a project with Cathy, which involved providing one-hour media consultations to more than 60 animal shelters and spay\/neuter clinics for a grant-funded project. Her job was to listen to their marketing ideas for the special project and then offer strategies for helping them achieve their media and marketing goals. The feedback I got from these groups was impressive. Cathy helped them learn how to negotiate and buy radio spots, how to develop multiple media and marketing strategies to maximize their exposure, and how to use media and marketing throughout the entire project to ensure they met their grant goals. Groups told me their phones were ringing off the hook. Cathy has a unique talent for helping animal groups tell their stories.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The time you took to personalize the training to our shelter’s needs and experiences was unmatched in any other trainings we have had.

Cathy Rosenthal has been a speaker at our yearly national conference since 2011 and is consistently one of our top-rated presenters. From a conference organizer’s perspective, I have found Cathy to be professional and responsive at all times. She meets all deadlines and goes above and beyond to be sure that we have what we need from her. As far as her presentation skills, here are a few quotes from attendees at her sessions: ‘Smart, savvy expert. Outstanding presentation packed with excellent strategies’, ‘Informative, comprehensive, lively, humorous presentation’, ‘Dynamic; kept the audience engaged the whole time’, ‘So many great ideas – and she really got me thinking about the WHYS!’ I can’t recommend Cathy highly enough.
