"My first impression is that the public speaking skills are top notch! No joke, felt like I was listening at a keynote speaker for a flagship device in Silicon Valley; yes, that specific. Moreover, this is simply my personal impression, but as for the audience (I'm not in their head), I felt it could've been more dumbed-down and just a tad slower to fit a non-native English audience. Also, near the 15 minute mark there were some fillers, but moments later, it was right on track; the self awareness is real! Finally, I must admit that the talk transported me somewhere else, not only because of the content, which was in itself super interesting, but because of the vibe that she (you) put out. The following could sound like I'm exaggerating, but probably not, it could be the first speech that's left me awestruck. It made my day! Hope I have the honor to listen to another of your talks in the future. This feedback is my way of saying, Thank you!"
