Customer Feedback
Betty Eidemiller, Society of Toxicology“I’ve always enjoyed reading Beth’s posts and using her tips, and thought maybe Ziesenis was pronounced “zesty-ness”! Her company name Avenue Z is so appropriate because her breadth of knowledge and skills goes A-Z. Beth was our remote presenter for a staff development event and demonstrated her skills, knowledge, sense of humor, and ability to make the best of the situation when we had technological troubles.”
Mark Milroy, ASAEBeth was a presenter for one of our online conferences, and she did an excellent job for us. Her speaking style is warm and engaging, she’s articulate and witty, and she has a wealth of knowledge about free and low-cost online tools.
Shawn Talbot, CAMFTI have had an opportunity to hear Beth speak on numerous occasions. She is an engaging speaker whose presentations are packed full of practical information that can be immediately applied to almost any work setting. I have never left one of Beth’s presentations without taking at least a few pages of notes! Her “Low Cost Tools” and weekly e-mail newsletters provide an abundance of pertinent and helpful resources and information. I would recommend her as a presenter for any organization!
Jim Rider, Leukemia & Lymphoma SocietyI work within the fundraising arm of a national non-profit organization and enlisted the help of Beth for an inspiration dinner event that we were hosting for our fundraising campaign participants. We needed an MC for the evening and asked Beth for her services. Her ability to engage the audience with her sincerity, professionalism and her amazing sense of humor provided exactly what we needed for this event. The participants left the evening informed, inspired and had a few laughs along the way. I plan to request her services in the future for events like this and other public speaking opportunities for our organization.
Beth B.Beth Z. has been one of my favorite follows for years. She understands the value of free for nonprofits and community volunteers, and she also understands the value of sharing resources.
