I've been there. I don't know any speaker out there on the circuit who's been through half or a tenth of what I've been through.

That's where I come in.

Jeff Wachtel

Hitler is a rotten speaker: raucous in voice, graceless in gesture, and loose in the composition of his speeches.

Randall's a good guy, and the governor looks forward to working with him in his role as speaker.

Lara Azar

With the new, plan enrollment should be higher. The university has a mandate to try and get students to study more foreign languages.

Governor T.n. Chaturvedi

We are extremely honored to feature an experienced platform leader such as Satoru Iwata as a keynote speaker. As Nintendo reinvents the scope of what games can be, it is ever more crucial to share their creative and market-growing philosophies with the other leaders of the game creation industry.

I got him in the office and got her on the speaker phone. I was at my wit's end with him. I was ready to send him home and said it wasn't going to work out.
