"I am sharing the word that comes to mind for you ... Captivating You certainly can command a room. You would do that without a cancer story. Your journey to be speaking on a large stage and motivating people to be their best I would think would always have been in the plans! Your talk yesterday - you had our 100% focus on you and it was quiet at times like a pin could drop and you would be able to hear it - we all wanted to hear what was next. Therefore, the captivating word."

-Dina Simon, Simon Says Lead
