We loved your energy, ability to inspire and motivate the crowd while setting the tone for the second day of the summit, and found your topics engaging and insightful. There were so many nuggets of knowledge to be taken away from your speech and I am certain that each attendee walked away with something.

She completely enthralled the audience with her enthusiasm, her confidence, her unique presenting style including a musical backbeat, her humour, and her engagement. Chitra’s message of intrapreneurship truly resonated with the room as they learned how to encourage and get the most out of their colleagues and themselves. Our challenge as organizers is to find presenters who can appeal to a wide variety of attendees and Chitra certainly filled the bill, giving everyone some food for thought to take back with them to their communities and organizations.
