Dedication & Growth

I have dedicated this past year to the study of public speaking under the guidance of Jacqueline Nagle CSP founder of Any Given Tuesday.
 
I am damned proud of myself and I think Jacq is too! I have certainly surprised her with my ability to take the stage on the night of my speaking debut, delivering my keynote for the first time and receiving a STANDING OVATION!
 
I want to share Lainey Loneragan's feedback from that night because it is so beautiful.
 
Lainey has had a long history of working in the media. She was the first person to cover socials on Television. Lainey still operates and heads Etiquette and Manners Australia teaching in most Schools , Corporate and all facilities at QUT. (She taught me how to butter my bread roll...long story!)
 
"...How do I describe the most extraordinary evening. Traveled to Brisbane to support an amazing woman Kassandra Behrendt. Walked into a room that was crowded with chairs, and I said to my friend Kim Ring, she might have trouble filling this many seats. Well, it did fill up. And to say this one-woman show was awesome is an understatement. She told her life story, from an abusive father to arriving in Australia from Greece, not speaking Australian. I don’t know what I was expecting, but she put me in mind of the actress Amanda Muggleton. Talk about holding her own on stage. It was an explosion. This evening will stay with me forever...."

Thank you Lainey Loneragan you are a true kindred spirit.
