Feet on the ground level presence. True listening. Speaking with the audience, not at them.

Thank you, the attributes of a teacher that embodies what being a “maestro” is ; a Master of Arts / music, a conductor who orchestrates others in their brilliance.

Two speakers I think embody clarity and trust are; Adam Roa who shares a lot of poetry and Ben Nemtin "The Bucket List"

I'll definitely check them out. Thanks, Eva. My #1 will always be Brené Brown.

Thank you for your insight. It’s nice to hear a perspective that looks at how the room FEELS not just THINKS. I like starting talks with a grounding meditation. Appreciate you sharing. There is so much possibility in the speaking space
