Montana Landscape and Nursery Association Delighted with Kemp

Snow kept Jana Kemp from arriving for the 2001 Montana Landscape and Nursery Association’s annual conference. The 2002 Conference attendees report that it was worth the wait. Kemp’s presentations were on Time and Priority Management and Working with Difficult People. With over half of the conference attendees in the room (120 in the session), standing room only and Kemp’s high-energy presentation kept attention during the presentation. Kemp’s facilitation skills sparkled when during the Difficult People presentation the lights in the hotel facility went out. She kept cool and directed attendees through the steps of exiting the building without losing a beat. Fortunately, the power-outage was only a temporary distraction and the session finished on time.
