“One of our longstanding teachers mentioned, ‘in my two decades here, this was probably my favorite opening presentation.'”

“We had the distinct pleasure of hosting Kate Welshofer as our Keynote speaker for the Grand Island Central School District’s ‘Welcome Back’ event. From the moment she stepped up to the microphone, Kate’s vibrant energy enthralled our faculty and staff. With her unmatched wit and captivating storytelling, she inspired our educators, setting the tone for a school year filled with purpose and promise.

Our faculty was not only impressed but genuinely moved. One of our long-standing teachers mentioned, “In my two decades here, this was probably my favorite opening presentation.” Another echoed the sentiment, saying, “Having a local celebrity like Kate Welshofer speak to us was a first, and it was incredible. Thank you.”

Kate’s presence and message left an indelible mark, making it an opening day to remember. Her ability to connect, engage, and inspire is truly commendable. We are profoundly grateful for the motivation she infused into our team, and the positive energy that followed made it a wonderful school year.”

“Kate kicked off our annual staff development day with a keynote speech that in the words of one attendee, ‘started the day off great with some funny stories and pulling in the theme of making connections.’ In our post-event surveys, people used ‘fabulous!!!!’ ‘inspiring’ ‘AWESOME’ and ‘uplifting’ to describe her keynote. As the organizer of the event, from start to finish, working with Kate was everything you want a guest speaker to be—responsive, enthusiastic, on point, and fun. If you are looking for meaningful engagement with listeners, Kate delivers!”

“Fabulous!!! Inspiring! AWESOME! Uplifting!”

“In May of 2023, Kate came to Frontier Middle School to present to our 7th grade class before they explored different careers at our career fair. Kate was an outstanding guest speaker for our students. She shared all the different paths she took in her life to get her to where she is today. Kate emphasized to not give up on your dreams, it took her a few opportunities to find her passion for what she really wanted to. Things you want in life don’t often come easy; sometimes it involves taking a risk and putting yourself out there. Kate engaged our student body with all her life experiences that helped her to get a fun and successful job today. We would love to have Kate back again to share her personal journey with our next 7th grade class. Our student body was captivated by her path for success on Channel 2.”
