I love meeting new people, and speaking is an incredible way to do that. 

I usually learn more from the audience than the audience learns from me.

I don't have "canned" or standard presentations, and prefer to customize each talk based on the needs of the audience. 

I find that this approach creates maximum benefit for all involved.
