Testimonials
Keri was unbelievably helpful when we wanted a new approach to enhance skills of our global HR team at CGI. She took time to learn about our organization and tailored materials to our specific needs. This specialized attention helped connect the framework to an audience with multiple HR backgrounds and experiences. Keri was a dynamic speaker and allowed for maximum retention of the HR Warrior content. Participants left with new insights and concepts that have helped provide clarity on what it means to be a strategic HR business partner. Keri is a true professional and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to have high performing HR professionals on their team.
-Cheryl Cassidy Director, Human Resources
Testimonials
I presented right after Keri at Hacking HR and was instantly using her content in my presentation, and we had never met. I found her to be credible, interesting, charming, but most of all – engaging. The audience lit up with questions, which selfishly was invaluable to me because if not for Keri’s content I wouldn’t have ‘learned‘ about the audience before I started. She speaks about topics that include how to understand why certain people communicate the way that they do, and how this affects teams large and small. If your company had 5 employees or 50,000, Keri’s content resonates.

Testimonials
Dr. Keri Ohlrich prepared a virtual talk for a conference I organized. She honed in on exactly what they needed to know, presented with energy, and kept the group engaged and interested. I highly recommend her as a speaker. She is so professional, polished, and knowledgeable. She used her knowledge of the audience to share tips they would find immediately helpful. I will keep her energy in my mind forever. I wish to listen to her in person.

Keri and Kelly are very dynamic speakers that are in tune with the HR audience and help brokers better understand the HR mind. We had the opportunity to work with them on various sessions and both audiences were extremely impressed with the takeaways. We look forward to working with them again!
