Kate Wicker is one of the most beautifully honest, openly humble speakers I’ve been privileged to hear speak. Her straightforward and unpretentious life story had us laughing, crying, and nodding our heads more times than we could count. She spoke on several life issues that we women all struggle with, and she gave us so many examples of ways to maintain peace in the chaos. As co-chair for the Catholic Women of Buffalo, I try to help find speakers that will not only bring a fantastic story, but really keep us engaged, encourage us, and challenge us on our faith journey. Kate did all of this and more. I highly recommend her for any group and any age level. We hosted almost 600 women of all ages and stages of life. We heard so many positive comments in regards to her talk. Thank you, Kate, for not only opening your heart to Western New York, but reminding us to not be deterred and keep that steadfast trust in God!
-Amy Blair, Co-Chair for Catholic Women of Buffalo
Kate Wicker’s down-to-earth, from-the-trenches, humor-filled presentation captivates, encourages, and inspires her audience. Wicker speaks from the heart, sharing real-life stories women especially can relate to and learn from, because they are their stories too. Her humble and yet joyful witness renews hope and encourages trust in God. As followers of Christ, we are called to be the light of the world, and Kate Wicker is an especially bright one.
-Danielle Bean, Catholic author, podcaster, retreat leader, and speaker
Kate was so good, and she did a great job resonating with women in different stages of their life and affirming different vocations. That is exactly what our group needed. She couldn’t have been more spot on! We are grateful for Kate for having shared her insights and wisdom with us.
-Eniola Honsberger, Director of Family Life, Diocese of Paterson (New Jersey)
Our conference committee couldn’t have been more pleased with our selection of Kate Wicker for our keynote speaker of the South Carolina Catholic Women’s Conference, “Belonging.” She brought energy, laughter, and even a few tears to our attendees. Her talk was very relevant and applicable to every women in the crowd. We all sat in total attentiveness, enthralled in her stories and message. She even seamlessly tied in our conference theme. Thank you, Kate, for being a part of this wonderful experience for these women.
–Tami Kiser, Chair of South Carolina Women’s Conference
From beginning to end, working with Kate for the Behold Conference was a delight. Furthermore, the combination of her honesty and natural spunk made for a powerful and encouraging presentation. Since the conference, many women have shared that Kate’s personal testimony and message have brought them peace in their hearts. Her compassion, humor, friendliness, and love of Christ left a lasting impact on the hundreds of women who heard her speak. She did a beautiful job, and I highly recommend her.
