Lakshmi has a wonderful presence as a keynote speaker, a cadence in her presentation that is easy to follow and wonderful stories. She did a great job of inspiring the attendees and her timing in her TEDx style presentation was spot on. Her words and style are what helped us to receive a standing ovation once the conference concluded.
