Speaking

Andrea didn’t set out to make a blooper reel when speaking at a well-respected conference over a decade ago.

And yet sometimes life delivers unexpected opportunities, like when she discovered in the first five minutes of her talk that the audio from a neighboring speaker was accidentally being fed intoher room.

Watch this clip to see how she handled it—it’s probably the truest sense you can get of who you hire when you hire her to speak:

Andrea, it was really a pleasure having you speak at our conference. Of all the speakers we had that day, more than 10, you clearly generated the most ‘buzz’! I got several compliments for having you there on the day and again during an All Hands meeting the next day. People were touched by your message and effective delivery. Even before the conference was ended, a number of the follow on speakers made impromptu references to the issues and message you so ably presented in the early afternoon”
