“They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel”
You’ve been there. We all have. We’ve been in meetings, conferences, or workshops that leave us searching for the coffee station far more times than we would like. A results-oriented and engaging speaker can make a world of a difference for any convening.
