Mary’s speech made me feel hopeful that as I enter the workforce that I can find leaders she describes that will mentor me and help me grow. Her topic is important because effective leaders like she describes and trains can help workers like me become the best we can be. Three words I would use to describe her and her speech are charismatic, humorous, and experienced. A True Game-Changer for Your Organization
