BigSpeak named me one of top 10 female keynote speakers and one of their top 10 technology keynote speakers! I am utterly delighted! I only received my O1 to speak in the USA a year ago, so to have such recognition in the USA is a real feather in my cap! I love traveling the world, meeting people and sharing my stories. I look forward to traveling to more places around the USA and sharing my stories!
