Brenda McGuire's extensive experience as a global travel leader injects authenticity into her cultural awareness workshops. Her presentation style is lively and well-informed, and she is able to maintain a high degree of interest from the audience. I selected Brenda as a speaker at two different global business workshops attended by 200+ international business executives. She was a breakaway success, indicated by a 98% satisfaction rating on the event surveys. I recommend her with confidence to deliver an innovative and engaging cultural seminar. More...
