this speaker is terrible.

BeyondSight Matt i beg to differ. Dawn Sumner is eloquent, clear and engaging. the material is exceptionally fascinating. it's evident that the audience was highly engaged for how many questions were raised at the end of the talk.

BeyondSight Matt I use this speech to educate new Toastmasters. This speech is chock-full of problems and the organization is a mess. Within a three minute span I counted over 20 "ahs" and "uhs." This topic seems to be fascinating but the presentation makes it very difficult to enjoy. To illustrate this, simply transcribe her speech word-for-word and then read it aloud.
