Sumit Arora - 2nd Speech, Competent Communicator "Organize your Speech"

There was a common theme from two speeches this evening. First was Barbara, acknowledging setbacks when working towards a goal. Taking it across the finish line was Regina with the steps necessary to follow through and use them to stay on track and maintain that ON list!

Next it was story time! The very entertaining and personal story of "The day his head, his ego and his blessings all exploded", when Curtis met his wife.

Sumit Arora graciously shared and educated us with "Out of the box solutions for successful job procurement" right timing achieves the right results!

 

All of our speakers did a great job this evening, it amazes me how much can be learned from each speaker, but more importantly watching them grow in their journey to become better speakers!
