I have been in the healthcare business for 44 years, and I have had the privilege during that time to see many speakers. As a result, fulfilling my “speaker expectations” can be a real challenge. Yet, I came away from your keynote address at our all-hands meeting completely mesmerized, entertained, energized, and inspired by both the substance of your message and the way in which you delivered it.
