Beth was one of the most popular speakers in my management classes at Albers School of Business and Economics this quarter. Beth had a clear perspective on the strengths of introversion as a personality trait. It promoted a thoughtprovoking dialogue on leadership. Her effectiveness as a presenter was evident in the seemingly effortless ease with which she held an open yet challenging space for the audience to question the conventional wisdom on leadership in our culture. I could see that the discussion helped the students to formulate their own voices as leaders. As a colleague to Beth, I was impressed with her ability to bring intrigue to an “overexposed” topic with a highlydiscerning audience.
I believe the success of her presentation was due to Beth’s originality and her respect for her audience. It goes without saying, Beth’s presentation exceeded my expectations!!!”

Beth delivered an exceptionally practical and entertaining presentation about how introverts operate by highlighting behaviors and principles from her dog, Ginger. Although the topic was about introverts, she made it interesting, applicable, and thought provoking for extroverts, as well. After hearing several members of the audience enthusiastically share takeaways from her talk, I am having my own admiration for her validated! I highly recommend Beth as a presenter.”

Beth used her professional and personal experience to give an interactive workshop to our librarians about networking as introverts. Staff left with a better understanding of their specific personality traits, how to leverage those traits and were motivated to try new networking techniques. Beth was very easy to work with and focused on tailoring the workshop to our specific group and their needs. Everyone felt it was a successful (and enjoyable) workshop.”

Beth’s presentation of friendly career advice was fabulous! It was wellpositioned for our filled-to-capacity crowd of fifty people. With clear, simple points, Beth debunked myths about salesmanship. While addressing our fears, she underscored the value of specific introvert strengths. The accompanying slides were colorful and lighthearted. At several points, Ms. Buelow set the audience buzzing with exercises in twos or threes—and people became so engaged they didn’t want to stop. People came away from Beth Buelow’s talk feeling energized, strengthened, and affirmed. It doesn’t get better than that!”

Beth is one of the Northwest Entrepreneur Network’s Startup Know-How speakers. She recently presented on the subject of introvert entrepreneurs to a packed house for NWEN. She’s the definitive expert on this subject and spoke with authority and poise. She taught us a great deal and the buzz following the class was such that we know we’ll have her back to teach us more. Beth is a great speaker and I’d recommend her to anyone looking to learn more about her expertise.”

Beth presented at our association’s Marketing Directors Conference in November 2012. Throughout the planning process for her session, I was thoroughly impressed with Beth’s attentiveness and desire to create a program that would be specifically tailored to my audience. She delivered exactly what we were looking for and more. Her materials are a natural fit for accounting firms (my industry) and I can see how she would be a must-hire for any other industry association that serves an introvert-heavy membership base. Beth is a winner!”

Beth’s presentation at a PSBJ seminar taught me how to better recognize, value and leverage of the strengths of the people I work with. So much so that I hired her to teach a course for all the employees of my firm. Beth was awesome to work with as a consultant: proactive, audience-aware and straightforward.”

Beth is an amazing speaker. Working with her to craft her message for our Professional Women in Building Leadership conference was an absolute joy. She listened well to who would be attending and the perspective they may hold in receiving her message. Her keynote was well thought out, innovative, insightful and right on point to help our attendees be better leaders. I highly recommend Beth to bring a level of leadership, energy and creativity to your event.”

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Beth over the last 12 months in a variety of areas. Her expertise in the engagement between extroverts and introverts has given me clarity in how I manage my partners, my staff, and my clients. She is a focused professional and a proven speaker that is, in my opinion, ‘the’ content expert in the area of introverts in business (and in the workplace). It is without hesitation that I recommend her to any client or colleague looking to fully understand the interactions between Introverts and Extroverts and who want the learn how to get these two personalities working together to drive a powerful and profitable bottom line.”

Beth was a delight to work with. I invited her to Starbucks Headquarters to give her presentation on Innies and Outties as part of our Spring Series called Renew Your Body, Mind and Space. She had a wonderful presentation style and really kept the audience engaged. The participants were very interested in what she had to say and found her presentation very helpful. I would highly recommend Beth as a speaker to anyone. She is very professional and sure to deliver!”

Beth is truly a pleasure to work with! We invited her to participate as a guest speaker for our BizDev Seminar Series and she was thorough and responsive throughout the entire process. Beth worked with us to customize her content and make sure it would be a good fit for our audience. Her performance was polished, interactive and insightful. One of my clients later stated that Beth’s presentation was the best of our series that she had attended. I was very pleased with Beth’s work and would welcome the chance to work with her again.”

Beth Buelow rocked the house at the Day of Empowerment in Olympia on September 30. Her workshop about how to activate introvert superpowers was graciously delivered and packed with actionable strategies to guide introverts like me to manage energy and work within our strengths to make our best impact in a sustainable way. The intimacy she created in the room was remarkable to the point that I felt like I made 50 new best friends forever. There really are advantages to being an introvert, and Beth called them out for all of us fortunate to be in the room. Thanks Beth.”

Beth and her colleague Leif Hansen customized and re-tooled their “Improv for Introverts” workshop into an “Improv for Accountants” workshop for staff accountants (at Peterson Sullivan). Beth was a pleasure to work with every step of the way, and she made sure our specific needs were addressed in the workshop. We achieved our objectives, and more importantly, had a ton of FUN doing it! All that and some CPE credit too…hard to beat. The Improv tools they taught are a great way to start building the foundations for Marketing and Business Development success early on in your career.”
