“We brought in Connie Smith to provide a public speaking workshop for our lawyers. Connie was everything you’d expect from this local Hamilton legend. Connie was engaging and dynamic and delivered on creating a workshop that folks would walk away with tangible and implemental tips. From breathing techniques to dealing with nerves – this was a well-attended and received workshop, and we will definitely be having Connie back. I highly recommend.”
“Connie Smith has been an integral part of Community Living Burlington’s Annual Easter Auction. Her vibrancy, enthusiasm, and professionalism has enabled our event to raise over $75,000 in the last four years, with all proceeds benefiting people who have a developmental disability in our local community. Connie is a real inspiration – she is community-minded, generous, and dedicated. ”
“ Connie Smith is a dynamite lady and emcee. She is community-minded with a genuine interest in seniors and their contributions to the community. She has a genuine way of making others feel at ease!”
“Connie is the best speaker I’ve ever seen up close, and she was able to share her mastery with our client very effectively—a real testament to her teaching skills. She is just so smooth. It’s amazing to watch her and learn. Connie did a fantastic job of leading our client through her exercises and coaching them in an on-camera experience.

“Connie is a familiar face and brings smiles and warmth to our guests. As a veteran journalist, she engages the audience in a personal and professional way. Connie was the co-host of the annual McMaster Children’s Hospital Celebration on CHCH News in support of McMaster Children’s Hospital for many years. She is a devoted community volunteer to many charities in the Golden Horseshoe communities.”
“Connie’s Public Relations class was one of my favorite classes at Mohawk. Not because of the subject matter, but because of the way she engages her students. It really made things more interesting and created a learning experience that got me interested in the subject matter. It takes a very skilled teacher to figure out how a student ‘ticks’ and Connie definitely has that gift!”
“ Connie became involved with Pythons’ Pit, our regional entrepreneurship competition hosted by Rotary Clubs in Halton Region in our second season. She’s done an outstanding job, hosting our TV segments and the Awards Night, which this year drew over 500 spectators and participants. I love her passion and professionalism. She brings events to a whole different level. ”
