She is clearly different from other speakers. Whether the audience is 50 or 5,000 your people will talk in the hallways afterwards about how Benton:

- Is an example of her teaching “a role model who practices what she preaches, not putting on a show like most.”

- Engages the whole audience from the start getting them involved and challenged in a fun way “not an in-your-face way.”

- Respects the audience and really wants them to learn “she’s not there just to present.”

- Isn’t over-rehearsed and over-presented (although a veteran professional speaker) but “speaks from the heart with conviction in an open, personable, sincere, human and warm way.”

- Is fun, lively, and humorous in the right way and in the right places “her stories are intelligent, inspiring, memorable, appropriate, and useful.”

- Is a speaker who is very easy to watch and listen to “she doesn’t so much lecture as confide her secrets.”
