Best Story

Among speaking at conferences, ceremonies, professional Developments and consulting, a single speaking engagement is surfacing above them at this moment. Do I really have a device to adequately find my best story? Actually I do not. However, this speaking engagement may have stood out because of the intricacy and intimacy of the moment. I coached a principal of a special needs institution to attend a United Nations meeting, turns out to be one of my most memorable moments. The principal was called into a meeting to discuss the situations with her school and to explain their needs of her institution. The meeting was 48 hours away and she was not fully prepared for the meeting which caused her much anxiety. I was able to bring her to a place of competence where she was able to efficiently represent her school while maintaining her integrity and honesty. She left the United Nations meeting feeling like she adequately represented her school and was able to move forward with positivity.
