Testimonials
“Bob, you were magnificent with making individuals engaged, and connected, keeping an eye on comments/chat/questions, reading the “room” and adapting to delays and the last minute changes when a speaker did not appear. I cannot express how impressed I am with your skilled nature in this regard. Thank you, thank you! Also – thank you for sharing your drum song with us. It was a lovely, moving, and memorable addition – certainly a special memory to takeaway from the event as a whole.”
