Awesome Learning Event with EO Austin and San Antonio

Awesome Learning Event with EO Austin and San Antonio

Last Thursday I was in Austin to conduct a full day workshop titled "The Art of Balancing Life" (Part 1) with EO Austin and EO San Antonio. It was a combined chapter event and we had a great turnout. 110 members and spouses attended this event. It was one of the most engaging crowds I have ever spoken to and I truly enjoyed the event.

It was my highest rated EO event thus far at 9.79 and humbled at being told I scored best speaker of the year.

Below are photos and comments from EO members and spouses.
