When I come home from an engagement, my hubby always asks me, “How did it go?”
My answer is always the same, “I had fun!”
I am pretty sure that if I have fun that it’s a good sign that the audience had fun, too and that`s when the best learning takes place. But don’t take my word for it, if you are considering hiring me, take a look at the typical reviews from 2012 from events across North America and see if you’d like your attendees to write similar comments after your next event…
