No Barriers ~ Only Solutions
Neal’s keynote is unique in his delivery, carrying a treasure chest on stage – Neal challenges his audience to carry treasures – not baggage. He takes his audience on a journey filled with content they can use everyday. Inside the chest are things symbolic to Neal’s success in overcoming his insurmountable barriers and challenges the audience to think about their treasure -what they have in experience to aid in planning for a successful future.
Halfway through the presentation Neal shows actual footage of rounding Cape Horn – solo. It is a very powerful video. How do you go forward once you have achieved your dreams and goals.
