Her presentation was an excellent starting point for our International Sales Meeting, in which the serious tone alternated with a healthy dose of humor and interaction, in a surprising and humorous way. In doing so, she sensed exactly what we needed for the warm up and was able to keep the attention of the group in a pleasant manner.”
