What's Happening with Sandy |
  |
| In August I attended the National Speakers Association Annual Conference in New York City! This year's theme was NSA ROCKS, and it was spectacular! Here I am with NSA president, Marck LeBlanc, left. Pictured right is 2008-2009 newly-installed president Sam Silverstein thanking Mark LeBlanc for his service to NSA. |
Picured left is Christine Comaford-Lynch, author of The New York Times best-seller "Rules for Renegades." Christine is a self-made multi-millionnaire and an inspiration to the world.
At right is Eric Chester, chair of the spectacular star-studded event, and a star speaker himself.
Pictured left is internationally-renowned artist Michael Israel who bewitched and bewilded us as he painted upside down on giant canvasses. Click here to see why millions of people have viewed his video on YouTube (watch it and stay tuned for the surprise ending.) At right is the speaker and guru of self publishing, Dan Poynter, answering questions of attendees.
Pictured left is Larry, an NSA speaker who knows the real meaning of "business casual" - and it doesn't mean dressing as if you were going to clean out the garage!
Right, the one and only Jeffrey Gitomer, speaker, author and columnist, receiving an award.
Pictured left is Nido Quebin, speaking legend, entrepreneur and President of High Point University. Right, Kevin Cronin, lead singer with REO Speedwagon; David Fishof of Rock & Roll Fantasy Camp; Simon Kirke of Bad Company, and Robin Creasman, host of the session and video producer for speakers.
Picured left is William Strickland, Jr, who received the longest standing ovation I've ever seen at NSA. Strickland recounted his journey from inner-city youth to head of an organization that builds centers all over the country that foster art, music, and leading-edge occupational skills for youths.
Right, Cathie Black, president of Hearst Magazines, and former editor of MS Magazine.
