Wil is an incredible speaker and I'm so honored to have heard him many times. His story and vulnerability and ability to connect with an audience on an intrinsic level is really valuable. It's like having a feast with him in every conversation, teaching session or speaking event. As a fellow speaker, Wil has my respect for his craft; there's much to learn from him, on every level. If you're looking for an emcee or a speaker for an event or a facilitator for a conference, or an educator for a breakout session, do yourself a favor and at least have a conversation with Wil; you won't be disappointed, I promise!-
