Claire is committed to engaging all audiences at the level of their work.  She wishes to learn as much as possible about the objectives of each event, and will tailor her remarks accordingly. She does not speak from a text and NEVER delivers the same presentation twice.

She enjoys meeting people working for the 'greater good'.  Some of her thoughts on a recent speaking engagement are (here).
