I’ve been an event photographer and media specialist for over 30 years and have been to literally 100+ keynote sessions in my professional capacity; Mr. Forsett’s was among the most powerful, enjoyable, and relatable I’ve ever attended– he was FANTASTIC! Much of what he shared will stay with me – ‘if you’re too big to serve, you’re too small to lead.
