All I can say about My 3 Favorites Speakers of 2014, who I’ve been able to see in person, is … Wow!  (Founder of Folds of Honor, Top Gun award recipient, & PGA Golfer, Major Dan Rooney)

My 3 Favorite Speakers of 2014:

Major Dan Rooney, Chad Hymas, and Fr. Robert Barron

Here is the criteria for my list:

  • Are they genuine people with an authentic message?
  • Do they leave you uniquely inspired with tangible ideas you can use to improve your life?
  • Are you still reflecting back on their message 3, 6, 12 months later?

It helps too if they are:

  • Entertaining
  • Have a great sense of humor, and
  • Are fascinated by the important things in life

These 3 have it all!

It was Reagan’s management style to listen to his advisors argue all sides of an issue. With no shortage of egos among these strong-willed and talented people, things could sometimes get heated during these discussions and debates. At these moments, Reagan was likely to sift through the assorted jellybeans searching for his favorite flavor, licorice.
