“In my 26 years of planning meetings for associations and working with speakers throughout the world, I have yet to meet a speaker that matches your diligence in making sure you get to the event on time and deliver such a timely and warmly received message. While everyone was totally captivated by your football stories, they took away a serious message they can use on a daily basis at work and home.”
