What businesses and associations say...

"What can I say - Cat is absolutely outstanding, and the convention attendees adore her. They continue to beg us to bring her back. From our evaluations, it is obvious that Cat is an excellent teacher with valuable information to share. Her ratings are 'off the chart'! It appears that participants return to their jobs re-energized and full of new ideas they hope to implement. Every attendee wants to have the opportunity to attend another of Cat's classes in the future. Basically, there is nothing we wouldn't say about how wonderful Cat is. Nothing is too superlative to describe the quality of her programs and how well they are received. The programs are superb, our folks love her, and she is incredibly helpful and easy to work with. We continue to be amazed and inspired by her wealth of knowledge and experience, and her ability to communicate that to attendees." ~ Rose Hughes, Executive Director, Montana Health Care Association

"The Cat Selman Company is an excellent company to work with. National HealthCare Corporation has done business with Cat Selman for more than 20 years. She has been a guest speaker at many of our conferences throughout the years, speaking to Recreation, Social Work, Dietary, Nursing, Therapy, and Administration. With each speaking engagement she gets rave reviews and usually another booking for a future session. We continue to choose Ms. Selman because we always know she will provide accurate, timely information. Paying for a speaker and not knowing how they will come across is always a fear when planning a meeting. However, with Cat, we know what we are getting and we know each participant will come away from the session with tools and ideas to help them in their job. Cat Selman has the respect of CMS and stays well informed on the latest training for surveyors. Her sessions include personal stories from her years working directly with residents, as well as current information she gathers from research and conversations with those creating and enforcing the regulations. She takes what could be a very dull session and keeps everyone engaged. Her great sense of humor and willingness to share her heart with the audience creates an atmosphere that fosters learning. Participants leave her sessions feeling energized and full of new knowledge that will assist them as they continue to make a difference in the lives of their residents." ~ Cecilia Taylor, National HealthCare Corporation ~ Murfreesboro, TN
