“A lively and brilliant presentation.”
“brilliant public speaker”
“It was a true pleasure to meet you and hear your astonishing talk tonight. You are out there doing what we, for the most part, are just talking about. Inspiring stuff indeed!”
“I thoroughly enjoyed your talk. I always enjoy the ones where we get an opportunity to examine liberty in new ways previously largely ignored.”
“I was particularly impressed with the way you were able to field difficult questions. Not everyone can think, much less argue rationally and keep smiling, under that kind of fire.”
“I loved that joke in your speech about [...]. That joke made my day! It made my week! Absolutely brilliant!”
“Just what the audience needed at that point: to be woken up and entertained. That was a great speech! Thank you!”
“Inspiring, thought-provoking, and witty. Who will Sarah Fitz-Claridge skewer in her next speech?!”
“The best speaker we have ever had here.”
“A brilliant speaker!”
“A provocative, thoroughly prepared and entertaining speaker.”
“I love that English humour!”
“You spoke a deep truth that I've known all my life... except that I haven't known it at all until now. (Does that make any sense?) I've attended many conferences, and heard many speeches, but never have I been so moved as by this one, given by you. Thank you. This is momentous.”
“I have a long way to go to reach the standards TCS folks are shooting for, but Sarah Fitz-Claridge's speech has inspired me to never give up trying to improve as a parent and as a partner.”
“Great sense of humour and an excellent speech on an important issue we all need to face.”
“All my life I've thought I was the only one who thinks like this. Now I know I'm not. And your thinking is much deeper than mine has been. I can't believe this is happening.”
“Beautiful speaking voice! I'll be listening to the tape over and over!”
“I was pretty angry when you gave the speech, but since then I've been thinking about it and I have to admit, you've really blown a hole through a lot of what I've believed up to now. You have challenged me, and it's not comfortable, but I want to thank you. It takes courage to say things most people would oppose. I think you do have some very valuable ideas and I want to subscribe to TCS and continue thinking about it.”
“Thank you for your great work for liberty. You are so right that the future of the world depends on how we raise and educate our children. I hope I can see you speak again soon. Could you let me know where you will be speaking next?”
“We are newcomers to TCS. When we heard Sarah speak recently in Dallas I am certain that my hair was blowing! I could feel the wind in my face: a sudden shift in understanding. Last night our family gathered to discuss and find a solution to an issue which has long been a hot one [...] and were astonished to emerge with a solution preferable for all of us! I felt that breeze again. [...] I have told several friends that I've experienced a shift and how it came about, but that's about all I know. Oh, and that the breezes are quite delightful.”
“It's a real honour to have heard you speak. You are the greatest thinker I have ever met.”
“Sarah is charismatic, organised, and articulates ideas well.”
“Thank you for changing my life.”
“Please, keep bringing your message to people. Ultimately, you can change the world and redefine what it means to be human.”
“Sarah was a very exciting, high energy speaker with props that had me in stitches.”
“I could really learn a LOT from you.”
“She's a great speaker.”
“It must have felt as though you were in the belly of the beast, saying what you said to this audience. Thank you for having to courage to speak here.”
“Sarah is a wonderful speaker (and beautiful to listen to).”
“Thank you for your honesty. It was very refreshing. I really appreciated that.”
“I just wanted you to know that I really enjoyed your workshop.”
“Excellent speech! Thank you!”
“This is the most important workshop I have ever attended. Thank you.”
“This is real important. I am very anxious to learn more about TCS.”
“Thank you for giving me permission to be the parent I've always wanted to be in my heart but felt guilty about being.”
“This is so right.”
“I am glad and relieved that I will no longer have to battle over the 9:00 p.m. bed time. Thank you for articulating so clearly what I've needed to hear for years. I am a victim of incredible parental coercion growing up. I have always wanted to be totally non-coercive; now, I can be, without thinking I'm being permissive in a negative way.”
“Sarah's warmth and compassion is very moving.”
[You were] just wonderful. [...] You speak so eloquently.
“[...] I think I enjoyed Sarah most in the Q&A session, in which she was very funny and very human.”
“Nice mix of philosophy and concrete examples.”
“Very persuasive.”
“What an amazing speech; you held my attention for every moment and it is a speech that was a bit disturbing because of its content. It really makes you think.”
“Wow! [...] I shocked myself in my reaction. [...] Thank you for opening my mind a bit.”
“Thank you for speaking on what I feel to be a tough subject. [...] I also like the references and dry humour you brought forth. Very thought provoking. Thank you very much.”
“You have a wonderful speaking quality. Very poised with a nice mix of humour, intelligent questions, allusions, and strong appeal.”
“Very creative approach. THANKS!”
“Thanks for the bright and challenging thoughts you have brought to us. I'm intrigued by your great mind and sharp humour. Your speech drew me right in.”
“Great humor and well presented.”
“Very riveting. Very effective! I enjoy the way you don't pull your punches!”
“I just love your use of language and humour.”
“Very thought provoking. As a parent who occasionally (and reluctantly) uses time outs, you have put this practice into a new light for me.”
“Wonderful! I wish I had your poise! I REALLY ENJOYED IT!”
“WOW! [...] ENTERTAINING!”
