  • I have had the privilege to see Sharyl West Loeung speak several times and I am always impressed by three things: 1) Her ability to present a clear and unique perspective, forcing me to reconsider what I thought I knew about the topic and even myself. 2) She crafts her talks in a way that makes them feel deeply personal and intimate, giving each listener a feeling of safety and comfort. And 3) She commands a presence that is engaging without being overwhelming, you are drawn to her speaking but not exhausted by it. Sharyl has a special gift for being on a stage and her skills will shine in any event or type of program.
