November 14, 2018My name is Heide (Lindsey) Thornton. MBA.PMP. formerly employed with PNC Corp as an Assistant Vice President, Technology. During my tenure at PNC I had the pleasure of experiencing Mr. Herb Burns deliver a dynamic presentation at one the professional organizations events I attend during the year. He was the keynote speaker and I must say that he was truly dynamic and intriguing. In fact, he probably ranks as one the best I heard and I attend numerous functions as I belong to many organizations. Mr. Burns address wasn’t the same old pick me up motivational speech. This was the first time I heard a speaker who had the ability to produce voice impersonations and incorporate them into the theme of the event. His impersonation of Morgan Freeman and Orson Welles sounded like the real thing. Not only that, his touch of humor loosened up the audience and made everyone there feel comfortable. And for the older members of the audience who can remember Orson Welles, it brought back some great memories. There is no doubt we will not hesitate to book Herb for our next motivational seminar.

These will be generic examples that might be relevant to their life such as domestic violence or drug abuse. Afterwards solutions will be offered staring with inner character.
