“In 40 years with the Angels and 2 years in Cooperstown, I was privileged to be around a lot of collections of great talent and teams. But I don’t think any of them match the grouping of people, the skill set, and the character that Tracy contributes to. There’s a great quote from Jackie Robinson, one of many that he had, where he said, “A life is not important except in the impact it has on others.” And there are few people that I know and have come across that truism fits to the degree that it does to Tracy. I’ve always admired and respected her proactive approach instead of a reactive approach.”
— Tim Mead, Former Angels Vice President of Communication & Former President of the National Baseball Hall of Fame

If you are looking for a speaker for your team, Tracy is your top choice.”

What motivates Tracy? Because if you’ve been coached by her, which I think most of us have, that’s one of her many gems and strategies, you must know what people’s motivation cards are if you’re trying to persuade them or lead them or talk to them. So, what motivates Tracy? Why is she so inspiring? And it’s her character. The only thing that motivates her is to do the right thing.”
