16. Pull Quotes
“I loved Michelle's message of slowing down and realizing the important things in
life,… I appreciated Heather's humor and drive in her story. I also appreciated
the research of the local scholars at Cornell. They offered real world advice and
rational to back up their claims. I am an educator, so I really think that is why
these particular speakers drew me in..”
“Angelique's messages were very clear…She had energy and emotion and was
calm and in control. She is an excellent speaker, not only because her messages
were clear, but she speaks well (no "you knows", no repeating phrases, etc.). Her
story is inspiring.”
