Thank you Jeff of your generous and astute curation of many videos for PCMA including this interview you did with me. I always learn so much from you and Dave Lutz
She makes a GREAT point about asking speakers for ideas and to “jump in” to make the conference experience better. I love her point about how this will show the planner which speakers care.
Good points! These days, Submitting a ‘Customization Questionnaire’ should be the norm for all speakers and entertainers.
