Quotes:"Don't make your pitch about you, focus on the impact that you can make on the audience." -Bri Seeley"A mistake that most speakers make is not knowing how to leverage and fully capitalise after delivering their talks; this limits impact and opportunities." -Corey Poirier"Once you gift someone the power of speaking, their world opens up and they see possibilities that didn't exist before." -Jacqueline Nagle"No one's going to come and tap you on the shoulder. You have to give yourself permission and do the work." -Samantha Riley"We can activate the audience with inspiration and connection but true change happens with what they choose to do after they hear us speak." -Melanie BensonResources:
