…there was a moment during your presentation….too subtle to detect….when you transitioned from Professional Speaker to intimate story teller.  Your audience, young and old, leaned in, listened intently to every word.  That was a remarkable testament to the relevance of your words of advice.  I dare say that you change the trajectory of more than one life in that room….
