STEPHEN ROSE: "A little fast in the beginning. You slowed down. That's fine. Poll your audience." BILLY HOLLIS: "I really like your stage presence. You feel professional. Your voice is a little bit soft. Make sure you get that mic to the point that you get the right volume." PAULA JANUSZKIEWICZ: "Very professional. I really enjoyed when you jumped onto the stage and just started talking." DAVID GIARD: "Good pacing. I liked the fact that you presented a problem and wrapped it up at the end."
