Katie gave a dynamic, engaging, and incredibly helpful presentation at the Digging In winter 2022 webinar I attended ! I took the practical steps she presented and immediately implemented her ideas and advice to improve the newsletter I send to our customers. I loved her authentic personality and her openness to share her knowledge in both the presentation and the Q&A.
