“I loved the book. Overall the quality of the product both paper quality and content was world class. What struck me most were the insights on every page that tugged on the heartstrings, were inspirational, positive and a daily reminder of what is really important. It captures messages you want to remind yourself of and your children everyday. In fact we read a page every day after dinner as a family and discuss the relevance to our lives. The audience is anyone who needs a touch of inspiration and motivation”

“I worked with Sallyann during the International Women’s Day event when we invited her to be the keynote speaker and deliver a speech that set out the central theme of the day. She was a dream to work with! It was just so easy. She understood the task on hand immediately, presented the topic in a way that it got people immediately thinking and some had few aha moments during her speech including me.”
