Perth Business Swap 2006/7
Your live presentation at Perth Business Swap on the 9th May 2007 was marvelous.
You alerted our audience to new awareness, giving deep insight into many realities of life that we the sighted were ignorant of.
The many examples of “true life” in the unsighted stream of life, gave everyone in your audience food for thought in terms of, who really is the blind person here.
I specifically want to thank you for nudging us the members of the business world - your every message was appropriate, the memory of it lingering in a way that when opportunity arises we will be more considerate and an appropriate voice.
Important too was the thought of, what else is under our nose that we are unaware of, a critical question for business people.
I was fascinated by the way you had everyone riveted into listening to you, I hope that you felt that response.
Janet, your presentation was professional and timely. Thank you. I will keep you in mind for future professional speaking engagements.
