Candie is an outstanding speaker who is always well prepared, engaging and available to her participants. She has facilitated training for our youth leaders, young professionals and executive leaders, which goes to show how versatile she is in interacting with various groups.

As a participant in the Advanced Applied Leadership Program at Millsaps College, I was afforded the opportunity to have Candie as one of my professors. Her positive energy is contagious and professional presence kept our classroom engaging. Being able to take her Presentation Skills course provided me with valuable insight into improving my own presentation skills in preparation for my Capstone Presentation. I am forever grateful for the knowledge and feedback I received from Candie, and continue to apply the skills I learned from her daily.

Candie Simmons is not only a phenomenal motivational speaker, but she goes above and beyond to connect with her audience on a personal level. Her ability to truly engage and inspire is second to none. What’s truly remarkable is that her content is relatable to individuals from any profession. Candie sets the gold standard for professionalism and unwavering integrity

Candie facilitated a seminar for Leading Business Women and afterwards I heard nothing but great things. The ladies thoroughly enjoyed it! I had no doubt they would not.

As the beginning of my Junior League Presidency was approaching, I wanted to bring in someone locally to begin team building with the new Board. I had met Candie several times over the years and was always impressed with her energy and encouragement. I knew she would be a dynamic facilitator for the group of ladies who were about to step into leadership. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and easy to work with. Candie has my highest recommendation.

When my company needed a consultant for a program we were launching, we turned to Candie Simmons and CLSimmons Consulting. It was the right call! Candie’s command of the lessons and her approachable yet professional demeanor made it easy for the participants to grasp the information and trust her as a credible source. I would recommend her services to anyone seeking, quality, value, and experience!

Candie plays an integral role on our Millsaps Executive Education faculty team. Not only is her instruction right on point for our participants, but so is her communication style—responsive, timely, and clear. Candie is the consummate professional, teaching with confidence, executive presence, and integrity, while delivering her message with warmth and sincerity. The example Candie sets is inspiring, and her word is her bond. When she makes a commitment, she delivers. Our participants are impressed with her sincere offers of additional guidance and help beyond the classroom. It’s always a pleasure working with Candie!
